Joseph C. Phillips (born January 17, 1962 in Denver, Colorado) is an African American actor.
Phillips played Martin Kendall on the NBC sitcom, The Cosby Show from 1989 to 1991. A little side fact from the Cosby Show is that Mr. Phillips played a character named Daryl on the second season of the show. Daryl was the man that Dr. Huxtable wanted his daughter, Sondra, to date instead of Elvin. The episode is titled "Cliff in Love". Additionally, he portrayed Justus Ward on the ABC soap opera, General Hospital from 1994 to 1998. Phillips is also a guest political commentator on "News and Notes with Ed Gordon" on most NPR radio stations. In 2006, Phillips published an autobiography, He Talk Like A White Boy.
Phillips role as Martin Kendall came about when Denise Huxtable married him in Africa, unbeknownest to her parents and family. Kendall was in the Navy, and had a young daughter named Olivia and an ex-wife named Paula. In the finale, it is learned that he and Denise are expecting a baby together.
Phillips is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African Americans.
Phillips is a spokesman for the Sickle Cell Disease Associationof America and the March of Dimes.[citation needed]
Despite his commitment to public service and equality for the African American community, Phillips is a spokesman for anti-gay causes like vehement opposition to equal marriage rights for gays and lesbians. Phillips contends that gay relationships are "morally wrong," and "contrary to nature, just as slavery was."
