We have an extraordinary opportunity now to recognize perhaps THE key player, if there's ONLY one key player, he might at the very top of the pyramid . . . a native of Mobile, Alabama, a man who appears over and over in our series . . . Dr. Sid Phillips. --TOM HANKS, Executive Producer, The Pacific Dr. Sidney Phillips was born Sept 2, 1924, and enlisted in the USMC the day after Pearl Harbor because the Marines promised to put him "eyeball to eyeball" with the Japanese. Two years later, he had come home a hero. Together, Sid and his brothers in the legendary 1st Marine Division won the first epic victory of the war, saved Australia, and stopped the Japanese juggernaut in the Pacific. Today, Sid is a figurehead for the WWII generation, having become internationally-known after his role in Ken Burns' documentary, "The War," and the Tom Hanks/Steven Spielberg/Gary Goetzman miniseries, "The Pacific."
