Today’s international television audiences identify with numerous
characters, but hardly ever take the time to find out their backgrounds. If you
are a fan of the Disney Channel, then you might love the comedy series, The
Suite Life of Zach and Cody, and its spin-off, The Life on Deck. You might
relate to the uptight, strict but caring Mr. Moseby, played by Phill Lewis.
Here is the bomb. He hails from Uganda. Yes. In Africa!
Lewis is the son of former Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone executive and former U.S.
Ambassador Delano
Lewis. He was born in Uganda, East Africa during
his father's stint as Peace Corps'
associate director and country director for Nigeria and Uganda.
Lewis co-starred in the Disney
Channel original series The Suite Life of
Zack & Cody as Mr. Moseby. Since 2008, he has
reprised the role on a sequel: The Suite Life on Deck, where he plays the manager of The
S.S. Tipton. He has appeared as a guest star on
Disney Channel's That's So Raven
and Phineas and Ferb and also in one of the channel's original films, Dadnapped. On the children's show Special
Agent Oso he has a recurring role as the
voice of Agent Wolfie.
As a television director,
he directed several episodes of The Suite Life on Deck, first making his
directorial debut in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody episode "I
Want My Mummy" (2007). He has since gone on to direct episodes of the
Disney Channel sitcoms A.N.T. Farm,
Austin & Ally, Good
Luck Charlie and Jessie
starring his former Suite Life on Deck co-star Debby
Ryan.
In addition to his television work,
Lewis has appeared in several films. He made his film debut as Dennis in the
1989 dark comedy Heathers. He has appeared in smaller roles in more than a dozen
films, including City Slickers
(1991), Bowfinger
