The Sprouse Twins: From Tipton Hotel Chaos to Hollywood's New Chapter
The twin brothers, Dylan Sprouse and Cole Sprouse, who played the titular Zack and Cody Martin, have successfully shed their Disney child star image, with both focusing on mature, diverse projects in 2025.
Dylan Sprouse's Explosive Return to Cinema
Following his successful run in the romantic drama series *Beautiful Disaster* and *Beautiful Wedding*, Dylan Sprouse is making a significant shift back to the action and thriller genres in 2025. His upcoming projects include the thriller film Under Fire and the independent film The Neglected, which is slated for a screening at the Newport Beach Film Festival (NBFF) in 2025. This move signals a deliberate effort by Dylan to take on more intense, serious roles, moving away from the lighthearted comedies that made him famous. In his personal life, Dylan married model Barbara Palvin in a private ceremony in 2023, and the couple recently starred in the Spring 2025 campaign for Express.
Cole Sprouse: Riverdale Legacy and Life Behind the Lens
Cole Sprouse, who played the brainier Cody Martin, continues to be recognized globally for his role as Jughead Jones in the hit series *Riverdale*. While his acting schedule has been less focused on new films in 2024/2025, he has been busy in other creative endeavors. Cole is an accomplished photographer, and his work was recently featured when he photographed his brother Dylan and sister-in-law Barbara Palvin for the Express Spring 2025 campaign. For fans eager to see him, Cole is scheduled to appear at the ATL Comic Convention in 2025. The twins have confirmed that while they know what their characters' futures hold, a *Suite Life* revival is not currently in the cards, allowing them to focus on their individual adult careers.
Disney Channel's Queens: Brenda Song and Ashley Tisdale's Multi-Faceted Careers
Brenda Song and Ashley Tisdale, who played London Tipton and Maddie Fitzpatrick, respectively, have both successfully transitioned into multi-hyphenate careers, balancing acting with major business and family milestones.
Brenda Song: Netflix and Zootopia 2
Brenda Song, who portrayed the hilariously clueless hotel heiress London Tipton, is experiencing a major career resurgence in 2025. She is set to star in the new Netflix series Running Point (2025–present), a comedy where she plays a chief of staff for a professional basketball team. Furthermore, the actress and her fiancé, Macaulay Culkin, have teamed up for a major voice role in the upcoming animated film Zootopia 2, a project that reunites the long-time couple on screen. Off-screen, Brenda Song is a mother to two sons, Dakota and Carson, whom she shares with Culkin, making her one of the most successful former Disney child stars to balance a high-profile family life with an active acting career.
Ashley Tisdale: Wellness, Interior Design, and a New TV Project
Ashley Tisdale, known for her role as the kind-hearted candy counter girl Maddie Fitzpatrick, has shifted her focus significantly towards the wellness and entrepreneurial space. In 2025, she officially launched Frenshe Interiors, an interior design company named after her popular lifestyle and wellness brand, Frenshe. This move showcases her passion for home design and her successful transition from actress to brand founder. She is also returning to television with a new project, the TV series Brutally Honest, which is inspired by her real-life marriage and the changes that occur after welcoming children. Ashley, who is married to musician Christopher French, continues to use her personal experiences to fuel her creative and business ventures.
The Tipton Staff: Phill Lewis and Kim Rhodes' Surprising Directorial and Convention Lives
The adult cast members, Phill Lewis and Kim Rhodes, who played the iconic hotel manager Mr. Moseby and the twins' mother Carey Martin, have found lasting success in roles behind the camera and within passionate fandom communities.
Phill Lewis: The Director's Chair and a Scrubs Reboot
Phill Lewis, whose character Mr. Moseby was famous for his exasperated cries of "Zack and Cody!", has largely stepped away from acting to become a highly prolific television director. His recent work for 2024–2025 includes directing episodes of a new comedy series. Most notably, Lewis is connected to the highly anticipated Untitled Scrubs Reboot Project slated for 2026, solidifying his reputation as a respected and sought-after director in the comedy genre. His transition from actor to director is one of the most successful behind-the-scenes career shifts from the entire *Suite Life* cast, demonstrating his enduring talent in television production.
Kim Rhodes: The Supernatural Legacy and Kung Fu Role
Kim Rhodes, who played the twins' mother Carey Martin, has maintained a strong presence in the acting world, particularly within the sci-fi and fantasy communities. She is a beloved figure on the convention circuit, frequently attending events like the German Film Comic Con in Spring 2024, thanks to her long-running and popular role as Sheriff Jody Mills on the series Supernatural. Rhodes has also taken on a recent role in the action-adventure series Kung Fu, where she continues to showcase her versatile acting skills. Her career exemplifies the power of a strong fan base and the ability to cultivate a "topical authority" within niche genres after leaving a major Disney property.
In conclusion, the *Sweet Life of Zack and Cody* cast members have not only moved on from the Tipton Hotel but have successfully built diverse and mature careers. From Dylan Sprouse's action films and Cole Sprouse's photography to Brenda Song's Netflix deal and Ashley Tisdale's interior design venture, the former child stars are thriving, proving that their initial success was merely the foundation for long and varied careers in Hollywood and beyond.
