Dylan and Cole Sprouse have advantageously established their stance on Hollywood despite being identical twins. Learning to share success, they respectfully and strategically take turns on executing projects, which makes them an endearing duo in the public eye. Both equally gifted with handsome features and charisma, they remain to be well-admired teen heartthrobs, turning their successful brotherhood in a commercial brand entitled “Sprouse Bros,” which includes sports gears, video games and CDs. At present, the twins star on Disney’s The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

Born on August 4, 1992 in Arezzo, Italy, Dylan and Cole Sprouse got exposed to the world of acting at the age of six months, appearing on a television commercial for a toilet paper. Being identical twins, they were able to acquire the same projects, often playing the same character role just like on the television series Grace Under Fire where both of them played one character, Patrick Kelly. Eventually, the twins landed roles on movies like Big Daddy, The Chanukah Song, The Astronaut’s Wife, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause, and Just for Kicks. Their television credits included That 70’s Show, Friends, and The Emperor’s New School.

The Sprouses’ inclusion on the series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody gives them the opportunity to showcase their acting expertise alongside each other and allows them to prolong their exposure on the television loop. On the show, Dylan portrays Zack Martin, a kid who often gets into trouble and is usually preoccupied with girls and video games, while Cole plays Cody Martin, the more mature and intellectual twin. Their “poles apart” traits definitely give the show an interesting feature and give the plot more excitement and thrill. Despite their differences, they manage to stand by each other and help fulfill each other’s deficiencies. They have an equal share of comedic antics, which gives the plot humor and makes the show a blast.
