"Revisiting the 'Suite Life of Zack and Cody' Cast: The Current Whereabouts of Cole and Dylan Sprouse, Ashley Tisdale, and Others."
The cast of Suite Life of Zack & Cody may not be staying in a luxurious hotel anymore, but they have continued to achieve success since the show’s conclusion in 2008.
While Cole and Dylan Sprouse had started acting as children, it was their co-starring roles as Cody and Zack Martin respectively that made them superstars. The three-season Disney Channel series followed the identical twins causing mischief and residing in Boston’s Tipton Hotel, where their mother Carey Martin (Kim Rhodes) worked. The show also featured London Tipton (Brenda Song), whose father was the owner, and teenage employee Maddie Fitzpatrick (Ashley Tisdale) who often helped the boys get into trouble.
Following the success of Suite Life of Zack & Cody, the Sprouse brothers continued to thrive with their spinoff series, The Suite Life on Deck, which ran from 2008 to 2011. Although both actors decided to take a break from Hollywood to attend college, they eventually returned to the entertainment industry in the late 2010s. Even now, Cole and Dylan cherish their Disney days, with Dylan sharing a photo of his brother looking for non-existent armpit hair in the show’s pilot episode on Instagram in March 2020 to celebrate its 15-year anniversary.
Cole also revealed his fondness for the series during a March 2021 episode of Vogue’s “73 Questions,” admitting that he still holds a deep fondness for The Suite Life, even as he continues to find success on The CW’s Riverdale.
Ashley Tisdale, who played Maddie, has also shared glimpses of her friendship with the Sprouse twins over the years. During a game of Elle’s “Thirst Trap” in December 2019, she revealed that although Dylan texts her back all the time, Cole sometimes doesn't respond, and therefore she would choose to spend three months in a remote location with Dylan over Cole.
