The episode 'The Abstinence' depicts Chiles suing a tobacco company, which Morris said he took great pleasure in, having been made fun of his whole life due to having the same name as the tobacco brand Philip Morris. In the 1990's, Morris played a recurring character, the Johnnie Cochran-inspired defense attorney Jackie Chiles, on the comedy Seinfeld. During a major story line, his character used heavy theatrical makeup to appear Caucasian, in order to go undercover to expose an organized crime organization. In the mid 1980's, he portrayed law student (later attorney) Tyrone Jackson in The Young and the Restless. He made his feature film debut in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock in a small role and later guest starred on Babylon 5, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager.

Morris's first acting role was as a child when he appeared in the 1966 Star Trek episode 'Miri.' Star Trek was, at the time, shot at the same studio (Desilu Productions) that produced Mission: Impossible. The friendship continued, until Peter Graves' death on March 14, 2010, which devastated Morris.

Through his childhood, Morris knew Graves' real-life children.

His father was also good friends with Mission: Impossible lead Peter Graves, whom Morris came to consider his acting mentor. His father was friends with other successful African American actors, including Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby, and Phil grew up viewing them as role models. His father was best known for appearing in the TV series Mission: Impossible, during the show's full run from 1966 to 1973.
