Philip Joseph Christopher Aloysius Regan[citation needed] (May 28, 1906 – February 11, 1996) was an American actor and singer who later served time for bribery in a real estate scandal.

[4] William Gilmore, in a review of the film Laughing Irish Eyes in the Brooklyn Eagle, described Regan as having "astonishing good looks and an extraordinarily pleasing tenor voice.

He was aware that three of the five supervisors were in favor, but he wanted to find a fourth vote for Halimi to avoid an appeal.

Frost perceived that an attempt at bribery was being arranged and reported his suspicions to the county district attorney and sheriff.

[citation needed] Testimony at Regan's trial established that he had promised an additional $5000 for Frost's vote.
