Cole and Dylan Sprouse Bio
Cole Mitchell Sprouse and Dylan Thomas Sprouse were born on August 4, 1992 in Arezzo, Tuscany, a region in central Italy.Teaching jobs had brought their American parents Matthew Sprouse and Melanie Wright to Europe.However, they do not live there long.
Four months after their birth, the entire family returned to their native Long Beach, California.Four more months were needed before the boys began their careers in show business, at the suggestion of their grandmother who taught acting.
Dylan and Cole began appearing in diaper commercials before moving onto television.Due to California child labor laws, which prohibit children from being filmed beyond a specific time per day, Dylan and Cole, like most twin children, adopted the alternative method of playing the same role interchangeably, saving time.
Their first television role was in Grace Under Fire where they both played the lead role of Patrick Kelly for 72 episodes.This role ended in 1998 and the boys would play a small role in two episodes of Mad TV.
They made their first feature film appearance playing the single role of Julian McGrath in Big Daddy (1999) which also starred Adam Sandler.The film thrust the boys into the limelight as they received numerous nominations but sadly did not win any.
For the next few years, the boys barely made progress, scoring guest appearances and a couple of straight-to-video movies.However, the roles eventually prepared them for their break which came in 2005 in Zack & Cody’s Suite Life at Disney.

The sitcom was an instant hit, making them Disneystars and members of the Disney Channel Circle of Stars, an 11-member group.During the show, the boys took on other roles, including roles.
The brothers reprized their roles in the version of the show titled The Suite Life on Deck.The changes did not detract from the success of the series, which became the most-watched television show between children and children in 2008 and 2009.
They also starred in The Suite Life Movie, released in March 2011, as well as other Disney Original movies including Hannah Montanna, Wizards of Waverly Place and I’m in the Band.
After the sitcom ended in 2011, the twin brothers decided to take a break to focus on their education.They enrolled at New York University, where they graduated in 2015. Cole studied photography, while Dylan focused on video game editing.
They both got back into action.Cole portrays series regular role Jughead Jones on the CW sitcom Riverdale.The role earned him his first-ever award, a Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Actor: Drama.

Dylan chose to focus on his love for video games.He played a character in RPG and is working on his own animated fantasy series project.He also plays Dungeons & Dragons in a YouTube/Twitch web series.Dylan has also branched out into the business world.Along with two partners, he plans to open All-Wise Meadery in Brooklyn, NY.
Net worth: $16 million
During their days playing Zack and Cody, Cole and Dylan were twice, in 2007 and 2010, named the richest kids alive.With a combined earning of $40,000 per episode, they are also Disney TV’s highest paid teenage cast.
Their success with the series spawned the Sprouse Bros brand which they created in conjunction with Olsen Twins’ Dualstar Entertainment.The brand’s merchandise included comic book series, clothing lines, magazines, and more.The franchise was discontinued in 2008 with only the clothing line left.However, in March 2011, the clothing line was also discontinued.
