Phill Lewis played Marion Moseby, pompous manager of the Tipton Hotel and then, in the spinoff, of the S.S. Tipton. After the finale of “The Suite Life on Deck,” he continued to appear in numerous TV series and even reprised Moseby for a 2015 episode of the Disney Channel series “Jessie.” Lewis has appeared in some Nickelodeon series, including “Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn,” and “The Really Loud House.” His voice can be heard in several episodes of the animated comedy “American Dad!” or seen on the big screen for “Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2.”
However, Lewis has been focusing his efforts behind the camera, racking up more than 60 credits as a television director. Among the many series he’s directed include “iCarly,” “Call Me Kat,” “How I Met Your Father,” “One Day at a Time,” and many more. In fact, it was while directing an episode of “Young and Hungry” that he reunited with former “Suite Life” co-star Ashley Tisdale, who was one of the show’s producers.

In the years since “Suite Life” ended, Lewis has kept in touch with the cast and is particularly close to Brenda Song. “We had such a great relationship on the show, and she is like my other daughter,” Lewis said in a chat with OnTheSpotInterviews. “So, we try to have lunch every couple of weeks, and just sit down, or text and email, and just keep each other apprised of what’s going on.”
