Phil Alexander Robertson (born April 24, 1946) is an American professional hunter, businessman (Duck Commander company), and reality television star on the popular television series Duck Dynasty. He is also featured on the television show Duck Commander, a hunting program on the Outdoor Channel.[1]
He attended Louisiana Tech University, where he played football. He received a master's degree in education and spent several years teaching.
Robertson was the subject of controversy after a 2013 interview he did with GQ magazine, where he said that homosexual behavior was sinful. As a result, A&E suspended him from Duck Dynasty.[2][3][4][5] Facing a strong backlash from his supporters, A&E lifted the suspension after nine days.[6]
In September 2023, a biographical film on the early life of Robertson, The Blind, was released in theaters.
