    Phifer is well-known for his roles in movies such as 8 Mile, This Christmas, and the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead. On television, he played the role of Dr. Gregory Pratt in the medial drama ER from 2002 until 2008, when the character is killed off in the first episode of the show’s 15th season. Most recently, Phifer has landed roles in the TV shows White Collar and Husbands, as well as the movie The Love Section.
