Marion Moseby, known to most as Mr. Moseby or simply Moseby, is a fictional character in the Disney Channel television series, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. He is played by Phill Lewis.

Moseby is the manager of the Tipton Hotel in Boston. He was hired by Samuel "Sam" Carrico.

Moseby loves the Tipton Hotel and spends a lot of his time protecting it from the antics of Zack and Cody Martin, who are the sons of Carey Martin - the singer at the Tipton. Mr. Moseby pretends not to like the boys, but he does show concern for them. He bonded with them in Big Hair and Baseball when he took them to a baseball game (his first one). Mr. Moseby is usually very austere, but can be fun, comic, and sarcastic. Mr. Moseby can speak French (although in one episode, he is heard speaking many other languages). When he was young, he did ballet, and wanted the role of Nutcracker Prince in the ballet, The Nutcracker, but suffered a tetherball injury and, therefore, wasn't able to have the role. He was the only boy amongst 20 pretty girls. Mr. Moseby is a second father to London Tipton. His employee, Maddie Fitzpatrick — who works as a candy counter girl — and London are good friends, but sometimes get into fights, which Mr. Moseby occasionally has to break up. He has only once felt relaxed in Day Care for a moment but was then interrupted. Being manager of the Tipton hotel means a lot to him and he is very skilled at it and making people listen when they don't to others. Mr. Moseby is known for wearing 100% Tipton branded clothing including boxer shorts, socks and handkerchief as can be seen in the episode Hotel Inspector.

Moseby has an older (but significantly shorter) brother who he was always bullied by. Even as adults, Moseby was always the bullied little brother since he was just a hotel manager while his brother was a rich millionaire. Eventually, the two let out their built up tension between them in an immature childish fight.

The alternate Moseby in The Suite Smell of Excess is a prank-loving, troublemaker who lets the boys do what they like in the lobby and have all the candy they want from the counter. He prefers to be called "M".

He is also known for his dancing when he stars in the Tipton's commercial until he hurts his leg so he can't be in it. The role is then covered by Zack Martin, Cody Martin, and their mother Carey Martin posing as a family that just arrived at the Tipton.

[edit] Other facts

Moseby is in The Tipton family album more than Mr Tipton or any of his ex-wives.
Helped London take her first steps (in designer booties).
It took him fourteen years to teach London the alphabet but now she knows her ABDs [as London says].
His first job at The Tipton was as a bellboy (presumably in the 1970's, when large Afros were in style, but this would make Moseby's age at least in the late 40's), from which he worked his way up to his manager's position.
Has an older, yet much shorter brother named Spencer. He says their mother liked Spencer best because he is lactose intolerant.
A running gag is that he often embarrasses/frightens the guests winding up in a position (such as whacking a fake baby doll that wouldn't stop crying against a chair when a mother with a baby walked by) which is embarrassing, whether an action or saying something stupid about himself that is untrue, like being a belly dancer or wearing a cocktail dress.
Aided London in driving lessons in the episode "Cody Goes to Camp".
In the episode "Big Hair & Baseball" Mr. Moseby takes Zack and Cody to a Red Sox game, he catches a baseball, which causes the Red Sox to lose the game.
Moseby is sometimes considered as a Parental unit for London.
He once made a model of the Tipton out of ice cream sticks.
Love life none.
Employee of the month 87 times, which means he has worked at the Tipton for over 7 years.
He taught London how to drive.
He told Carey that her driving was bad and he was the one driving.
He has had many different hair-styles over the years, including: an afro, jheri curls, a fade, and dread locks.
It is shown in the episode Crushed that, even though against the hotel policies, he has a soft side for dogs.
His grandmother's name is Rose Moseby who carries a copious handbag.
His mother is named Beulah, and weighs 250 pounds.
