Phillip Sheppard (born March 12, 1958) is a United States Army veteran and the chief executive officer of a software company, who is best known for his appearances on the U.S. reality show Survivor. He is the brother of author Charles Peterson Sheppard, and Rochester, New York police chief James Sheppard.
Sheppard lives in Santa Monica, California. From 1986 to 1989, Sheppard worked for the Defensive Investigative Service.
Sheppard was initially a contestant on Survivor: Redemption Island in 2011. He was a member of the Ometepe Tribe and had a record 17 votes cast against him throughout the season. He also received one jury vote at the Final Tribal Council, which allowed him to achieve second place overall, ahead of Natalie Tenerelli who received zero votes. He told TV Guide that he played with hope and suspected that he would get the jury vote from Ralph Kiser, which he did. Many jurors have admitted i their post-game interviews that they would have likely voted for Phillip to win had he admitted his behavior and actions were all apart of a strategy to get taken to the end by Rob.
Sheppard insisted throughout the show that he was a former federal agent, but fellow participants such as former NFL player Steve Wright doubted Sheppard’s claims. At the finale, Jeff Probst spoke to a woman in the audience who claimed to have known Sheppard from her federal agent training to confirm beyond doubt that he had been in fact a federal agent.
Sheppard was also a cast member on Survivor: Caramoan, in 2013. The theme for this season was ten new contestants (labeled "Fans") and ten returning contestants (labeled "Favorites") facing off for the million dollar prize, a format previously used during Survivor: Micronesia. Being a returning player, Sheppard was cast as a ‘Favorite’ and was placed on the Bikal tribe. He was voted out on Day 28, and became the second member of the jury.
