Dylan Thomas Sprouse and

August 4, 1992) are American
actors. They are twins and are
collectively referred to as
Dylan and Cole Sprouse or the
Sprouse Bros. Their first
prominent major theatrical
film role was in Big Daddy,

Adam Sandler. They later

Nat King Cole. The boys moved
back to the United States four
months after their birth. They
grew up in their parents' native

Acting
After a suggestion by their grandmother, Jonine Booth Wright,
who was a drama teacher and actress, the Sprouses began acting
at the age of six months. The twins first appeared in a commercial
for diapers switching on-screen time every few seconds. As with
many twins, the two have often played the same role, allowing
more time for the character to be filmed. At eight months old, the
two appeared on the ABC-TV series Grace Under Fire from 1993 to
1998, playing single character, Patrick Kelly.

Personal Lives
Dylan Sprouse has stated that the experience of coming to fame
after the success of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody is "kind of
scary, how fast everything is moving. Just a year ago none of this
was happening, it was just doing Suite Life, and now I can't wait
for what's in store... While filming The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,
the two received on-set tutoring for three hours each day, and
claimed to be getting "straight A's and honors.
The Sprouses enjoy skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, and
basketball, as well as writing or drawing a comic strip, The
Adventures of Tibblebu and Thumbin, based on a stuffed animal
of Cole's. The twins' family has three dogs: Bubba, which belongs
to Dylan and Cole; Pinky, who is their father's; and Curry, their
stepmother's. Their favorite actor and co-star is Adam Sandler.

fall of 2010; however, they deferred for one year. Dylan plans on
majoring in fine/studio arts and minoring in economics while
