The Surprising Career of Mr. Moseby

While millions recognize him as the stern Mr. Moseby, actor Phill Lewis has a surprisingly dark history. Before finding fame as a beloved hotel manager, he served time in prison for a fatal drunk driving accident.

Long before his Disney success, a nineteen-year-old Lewis caused a tragic car crash that resulted in a woman's death. After serving his sentence, he turned his life around and successfully pivoted to a thriving career in Hollywood. He eventually became a staple of children's television and a respected television director. His story is a rare example of resilience and professional reinvention following a devastating personal mistake.
