RAVIV ULLMAN'S CAREER BEFORE AND AFTER "PHIL OF THE FUTURE"

He later appeared in a few other projects, including "The Guiding Light," "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." His career skyrocketed, though, in 2004 when he started working in the Disney Channel series "Phil of the Future."

In that show, Ullman portrayed the protagonist, Phil Diffy, a freshman from the year 2121 who traveled back in time to the early 2000s with the rest of his family and got stuck there.

Although the premise of the show was quite enjoyable, "Phil of the Future" was on air for only two seasons. Fortunately, the show was included on Disney+ in November 2019.

As a way to celebrate the show's inclusion into the Disney streaming service, Raviv Ullman answered several fan questions. He revealed that he would love to work on a sequel to help save the planet from environmental ruin.

Ullman also admitted that he didn't know why Disney decided to end the show, especially because it ended on a cliffhanger.

After "Phil of the Future" was canceled in 2006, Ullman kept landing roles in many other projects, including "Rita Rocks" and, most recently, "Strangers."

RAVIV ULLMAN'S TIME IN AN OFF-BROADWAY PRODUCTION

Between January and March 2012, the former child actor portrayed Alex in the Off-Broadway production "Russian Transport." It was a quite drastic change, especially considering that his character was a tough guy who sold drugs and got involved in different illegal activities.

In February 2012, Raviv Ullman shared some details of his career during an interview with Broadway.com, admitting that he was more focused on storytelling. He added:

"This is a really exciting part of my life. I moved out to New York over the summer and I think this is the beginning of a new career for me."

Ullman pointed out that he was not embarrassed about the things he did in the past. However, he said that "it's not all fun and games anymore."

The former child actor is also very passionate about music, which is probably why he has been part of a couple of bands throughout his life.
