Nicholas Phipps (23 June 1913–11 April 1980) was a Britishactor and screenwriter who appeared in more than thirty films during a career that lasted between 1938 and 1970. He was born in London in 1913. He appeared mainly in British comedy films, often specialising in playing military figures. He was also an occasional screenwriter, sometimes working on the script for films in which he acted. He retired from acting in 1970.
Phipps was educated at The King's School and in 2009 captained Sydney University's Premiership-winning 1st Colts team.
Super Rugby
Rebels
Phipps signed to the Melbourne Rebels in July, 2010. Phipps mentors for the 2011 Super Rugby season included former Wallaby halfback Sam Cordingley. Phipps said he was looking forward to learning from his fellow halfbacks, Cordingley, and Kingi, and also from Rebels centre (and former Wallaby) Julian Huxley.
In May 2012 Phipps combined with Kurtley Beale in the halves (9 & 10) against the Bulls from South Africa. Beale had been moved from fullback to flyhalf following Danny Cipriani's unexpected departure from the Rebels. Phipps scored a try under the posts.
Waratahs
Phipps moved back to Sydney to play for the Waratahs commencing 2014.
