The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody Cast

Since The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody ended, the show’s stars have made appearances in everything from crime dramas to animated comedies.

Summary

• The Suite Life of Zack and Cody launched the careers of the Sprouse twins and other talented actors, with the real-life relationship of Cole and Dylan Sprouse translating well on screen.
• After the show, cast members pursued diverse paths, with Cole Sprouse finding success as an actor and photographer, while Dylan Sprouse delved into acting, comic books, and video game design.
• Ashley Tisdale had a healthy career as both an actor and musician, while Brenda Song continued to work in television and Phil Lewis transitioned to television directing, showcasing his comedic talents.

During its time on the Disney Channel, The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody made stars of the Sprouse twins, and helped boost the careers of many other talented actors. The show followed the relationship of the two boys as they grew up living in a hotel, getting into all sorts of trouble as their personalities clashed. They were often accompanied by the Tipton Hotel's other strange inhabitants, although ultimately the brothers had to rely on each other to get out of sticky situations. The Disney Channel had real heart to accompany the humor, as the real-life relationship of Cole and Dylan Sprouse translated beautifully to the screen.

Since the series drew to a close after three seasons, its cast members have been free to explore new opportunities in television, movies, and beyond. Some actors have put the show firmly behind them and are now forging their own path in the entertainment industry. Others have achieved their greatest successes in completely different fields that have nothing to do with acting. The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody's cast remain close, but their careers after the show could scarcely have been more dissimilar.

10 Cole Sprouse

Cole Sprouse has had something of a career renaissance since the end of The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody. After taking a break from acting to study Geographic Information Systems in archeology at New York University, Sprouse was cast as Jughead Jones in the CW's teen-drama series Riverdale. He remained part of the core cast for all seven seasons until Riverdale's series finale in August 2023. He's also a talented photographer whose work has appeared in Teen Vogue and other prestigious magazines. He retains a love of archeology, which he says he inherited from his grandfather. During his studies, he took part in excavations in Europe and Asia.

9 Dylan Sprouse

Like his brother Cole, Dylan Sprouse took an acting hiatus while he studied at New York University. His biggest project since his return was probably After We Collided, based on the best-selling book by Anna Todd. He has appeared in a few lesser-known movies, such as the Chinese fantasy The Curse Of Turandot. Dylan has kept busy away from acting as well, publishing his first comic book, Sun Eater. Dylan studied video game design at NYU, and although he hasn't published a video game yet, he did voice the character of Yozora in Kingdom Hearts III.

8 Ashley Tisdale

Not only did Ashley Tisdale star in The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody, but she was a key part of the High School Musical movies. Her character Sharpay Evans was supposed to have her own spinoff, charting her journey as a hopeful actor trying to make it on Broadway, but the project failed to materialize. Still, Tisdale has enjoyed a healthy career as both an actor and musician. Her deeply personal 2019 album, Symptoms, peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100. A year later she would reprise her role as Candace Flynn for Phineas And Ferb The Movie: Candace Against The Universe.

7 Brenda Song

Brenda Song played London Tipton, the air-headed heiress who forged an unlikely friendship with Zack and Cody. Song has made a career for herself in television since then, playing minor roles in a wide variety of shows. She has appeared in Superstore, The League and New Girl among others. Her most notable leading roles since The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody probably came in the comedy series Dollface and the animated adventure show Amphibia.

6 Phil Lewis

Phil Lewis appeared in hit shows like Scrubs, Lizzie Maguire, and Friends before playing Mr. Mosby. However, none of these shows gave him the spotlight in the way that The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody did. Lewis was responsible for some of the show's funniest moments, like Mr. Mosby's PRNDL scene. He became a Disney Channel staple after the show's success, featuring in Hannah Montana and Wizards Of Waverly Place, among others. More recently, he has turned his attention to television directing, with credits on huge comedies like How I Met Your Father and iCarly. He may be behind the camera, but he still gets to put his comedic talents to use.

5 Kim Rhodes

Zack and Cody's mother Carey Martin became known for her spiky hair and her role as the voice of reason. Kim Rhodes has since starred as Supernatural's Sheriff Jody Mills, one of the show's best recurring characters. Supernatural season 13, episode 10, "Wayward Sisters" was supposed to serve as a pilot for a potential spinoff series focusing more on Mills. Unfortunately, the project never took off. Rhodes shared that she was autistic after her daughter was diagnosed with the same condition. She maintains a presence on TikTok trying to educate others on what autism means and how it affects her day-to-day life.

4 Adrian R'Mante

Since playing the kind-hearted bellhop Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa Ramírez, Adrian R'Mante made guest appearances on a few high-profile television dramas. He has played criminals in 24, NCIS: Los Angeles, and CSI: NY. More recently, R'Mante has worked to help the next generation of talent with his own acting program based in Los Angeles. R'Mante still talks to fans about his iconic role from The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody on his Instagram account. His son Ian is already taking his first footsteps into the entertainment industry at the age of seven, having recently played Thumper from Bambi in Disney's centenary celebration.

3 Brian Stepanek

Just like Ashley Tisdale with High School Musical and Kim Rhodes with Supernatural, Brian Stepanek was supposed to have his own spinoff show. Clips of the pilot episode can still be seen on YouTube, and it seems that the show would have followed the Tipton Hotel's engineer Arwin as he moves in with his sister to help take care of her children. Despite the pilot not being picked up, Stepanek's career regained some momentum when he was cast as Lynn Loud Sr. on Nickelodeon's animated series The Loud House. The show has spawned movies, video games, and a live-action spinoff, The Really Loud House.

2 Debby Ryan

Debby Ryan's addition to the cast was one of the best things about The Suite Life On Deck, despite never appearing at the Tipton Hotel in the original series. Ryan played Bailey Pickett, Cody's girlfriend from Kettlecorn, Kansas. Since The Suite Life On Deck, Ryan has gotten plenty of work in television, especially as a voice actor. She recently played the part of Krista in the Scooby-Doo spinoff Velma. Ryan also boasts some impressive movie credits after featuring in Horse Girl and Spin Me Round with Alison Brie. Her recent movie Shortcomings, directed by Randall Park, had its world premiere at Sundance Film Festival in January 2023.

1 Emma Stone

The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody featured a ton of guest stars from other Disney Channel shows, such as Zac Efron and Selena Gomez. However, even the most observant fans could easily have missed Emma Stone's voice acting spot. The show's Paris Hilton parody, London Tipton, came complete with a small dog stuffed in her purse. Emma Stone provided the voice for Ivana the Pomeranian long before she went on to become a Hollywood A-Lister. Ivana was Stone's first voice acting role. She's the only cast member on The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody who holds an Academy Award, which she won in 2017 for La La Land.
