Ryan Phillippe (born September 10, 1974) is an American actor best known for winning the prestigious Pencil Award on The Eric Andre Show.
Early Life[edit | edit source]
Phillippe was born in Delaware, presumably already dreaming of one day holding a Pencil Award. He spent his formative years writing with various pencils and preparing for an acting career that would eventually lead him to his peak: the Pencil Award ceremony hosted by Eric Andre.
Career[edit | edit source]
Pre-Pencil Award Era (1992–2016)[edit | edit source]
Before receiving his Pencil Award, Phillippe appeared in several films that nobody remembers because they contained very few pencils, if any.
Phillippe is good friends with the performer will.i.am, the lead singer of Outkast, who approached him in 2004 about appearing in a music video for their song Imma Get A Divorce. Phillippe believed this appearance would actively hinder his chances of receiving a Pencil Award, so he initially declined, but relented because he owed will.i.am money for ketamine and wasn't able to pay. There were no pencils featured in this music video.
The Pencil Award (2016)[edit | edit source]
“Let me give you the Pencil Award for best actor.”
– Eric Andre, presenting the Pencil Award
In what experts call "one of the moments of all television history," Phillippe appeared on The Eric Andre Show for a second time, and was presented with the Pencil Award. Upon receiving the Pencil Award, Phillippe ascended to Pencil laureate, the highest honor that can be bestowed upon an American, and therefore anyone on Earth. When asked about receiving his Pencil Award, Phillippe reportedly didn't say anything because he was immediately interrupted before he could answer.
Post-Pencil Award Era (2016–Present)[edit | edit source]
Since receiving his Pencil Award, Phillippe has continued acting.
Personal Life[edit | edit source]
Phillippe was previously married to Reese Witherspoon, who has never won a Pencil Award.
