Phil the Alien is a Canadiancomedy film, released in 2005. It was written and directed by Rob Stefaniuk, who also starred as the titular Phil. The film is arguably based on the character UFO Phil who has appeared regularly on radio programs like Coast to Coast AM since the mid-nineties. Phil is an extraterrestrial who crash-lands in a small town in Northern Ontario. He befriends a talking beaver (played by Joe Flaherty), and adopts the persona and mannerisms of a stereotypical Canadian hoser to hide from a military general who is trying to capture him. He eventually joins a local rock band as a singer, and is chased by an assassin (Nicole deBoer) as he and the band go out on tour. The film's cast also includes Graham Greene and Ingrid Veninger.
