[edit] Cast and characters
- Phil Diffy (born 2106), played by Ricky Ullman: Phillip Andrew Diffy is a teenage boy from the year 2121 who is stuck in our time period. He seems to be the most "in tuned" with how things work in this century. Phil frequently has to make up excuses to hide the fact that he is from the future. Phil has tons of futuristic gadgets; at least one is used in each episode of Phil of the Future. He spends most of his spare time with his best friend Keely Teslow, whom he seems to have a big crush on.
- Pim Diffy (born 2109), played by Amelia Ellen Bruckner: Piama Anne Diffy is Phil's younger sister. Pim is a mischievous girl who is constantly up to no good. Pim tries to make Phil miserable whenever she can. She hangs out with a young boy "Lil' Danny" Dawkins. She also tries to avoid Debby Berwick, her self-proclaimed best friend, by finding ways to torture her. repeatedly in the show, she looks for ways to dominate the world. She is really jealous of Debbie Berwick with her being happy all the time. Pim is especially known for liking to pull pranks on people (especially Phil, her brother, and Debbie Berwick.) She has pulled pranks on her vice principal, Mr. Hackett, as well; an example being the episode where she made him believe that she was psychic. Pim is also known to be always trying to take over the world and the universe. One time, in an attempt to take over school (her first step for her plan to take over the world), she convinced everyone Mr. Hackett was a liar by using her Wizard. Because of her scheme, she became principal for a day instead of Mr. Hackett. Then, with the help of Lil Danny, she ran him out of the school. However, Phil and Keely (and Lil Danny, who felt bad) caused an angry mob to get things back to normal. Even though Pim often causes trouble for Phil, and has a tough attitude, she also cares about her brother but keeps it hidden most of the time. Pim's archrivals are Candida and The Fashion Zombies. They are constantly mocking Pim's fashion sense and call her 'Pimple'.
- Keely Teslow (born 1989), played by Alyson Renae Michalka: Keely Lisa Teslow is Phil's best friend/girlfriend. She is the only person who knows Phil and his family are from the future. Keely Teslow is an energetic and bubbly girl who aspires to be a reporter, she reveals in the episode My Way that she secretly wanted to be a singer but that notion seems to disappear after that one episode. She seems to have a crush on Phil, which Phil seems to share; although neither will admit it until the series finale "Back to the Future" where they decide to be a couple and start a relationship. She sometimes uses Phil's gadgets as a shortcut for schoolwork. She is notable on the show for her numerous hairstyles and colorful clothes. Early in the series Keely wanted to become a popstar, but she suffered from stage fright and hid her performing ambitions by claiming that she wanted to be a cat psychologist. She performed several songs early in the run of the show, but eventually her singing career was set aside and she currently aspires to be a reporter. In the later episodes of the show, she hosts her own, daily news program on the school's closed circuit broadcasting system. She begins her broadcasts by announcing, "And now... LIVE, with Keely Teslow, I'm Keely Teslow," and her program is, in fact, entitled, "LIVE: With Keely Teslow: I'm Keely Teslow." In the episode The Giggle, she gets to look ahead at her own future and she learns that she does become a successful news reporter. It is implied throughout the series that Keely and Phil are strongly attracted to each other, but they remain just friends until the series finale, Back to the Future, in which they become a couple just before Phil learns his family is returning to the future. Phil promises to wait for Keely in the future; he points out that in the 22nd century she will be "really, really old," but quickly adds that that won't matter. (In fact, Keely would be well over 100, making it somewhat unlikely she would even be alive in Phil's time. In The Giggle it is hinted that Keely will get married, so unless Phil ended up going back in time, it seems likely Keely eventually marries somebody else.) Other friends of Keely include: Tia, Seth, Olivia (Via), and Owen.
- Lloyd Diffy (born 2083), played by Craig Ward Anton: Lloyd Michael Diffy is Phil's goofy dad, who is working on repairing the time machine. Although in the last episode, Pim easily fixed the time machine and realized that her father wanted them to stay because he knew everyone was happy here. He was an engineer in 2121, and loves "older music". He is paranoid about the government figuring out he and his family are from the future. He currently works at the Mantis hardware store.
- Barbara Speckle-Diffy (born 2085), played by Elisabeth Caroline Simms: Barbara Louise Speckle-Diffy is Phil's mom. She is very good at communicating with her kids, and they often consult her in situations in which they need advice. She is sweet and kind. Unlike other mothers though, Barbara seems to let her kids figure things out on their own, and she can't cook food, but loves to cook the old fashion way, although that never works out without something being wrong in the food, (a plot device used to parody the sitcom moms who are excellent cooks) because in 2121 they spray food out of a can.
