'''Dylan Thomas Sprouse''' and '''Cole Mitchell Sprouse''' (born August 4, 1992) are American [[actor]]s who are best known for their roles in the [[Disney Channel]] sitcoms ''[[The Suite Life of Zack & Cody]]'' and ''[[The Suite Life on Deck]]''.<ref name="early show"/> They are [[identical twin]]s and are collectively referred to as ''Dylan and Cole Sprouse'' or the ''Sprouse Bros.''. As a result of these series' success, they have become "heartthrobs"<ref name="early show">{{cite web | author=James M.

In April 2009, ''[[People Magazine]]'' released a sixty-page special edition issue devoted almost entirely to the brothers. |
|||
==Early lives== |
|||
The Sprouses were born in [[Arezzo]], Italy, to American parents Matthew Sprouse and Melanie Wright, who at the time were teaching at an English language school in [[Tuscany]]. Dylan, named after poet [[Dylan Thomas]],<ref name="parade">{{cite journal|author=James Brady| title= In Step with Dylan & Cole Sprouse| journal =[[Parade Magazine]]|date=August 19, 2007|pages=22|url=http://www.parade.com/articles/editions/2007/edition_08-19-2007/In_Step_With...Dylan_and_Cole | accessdate=March 1, 2009}}</ref> is 15 minutes older than Cole,<ref name="mad">{{cite journal | author=Mad Kids | title= The Mad Kids Chatroom: This Month: Dylan & Cole Sprouse | journal=Mad Kids | month=May | year=2006 | volume=1 | issue=#3 | pages=26–28}}</ref> who is named for jazz singer and pianist [[Nat King Cole]].<ref name="popstar">{{cite journal | author=Popstar | title=Dylan & Cole take over the world!: House of Sprouse! | journal=Popstar Special! | month=June | year=2006 | pages=90}}</ref> The boys moved back to the United States, four months after their birth. They grew up in their parents' native [[Long Beach, California]]. Their parents divorced in 1997.<ref>{{cite web|title=Dylan & Cole Sprouse|url=http://www.buddytv.com/cole-sprouse.aspx|accessdate=2007-12-29}}</ref> |
|||
==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 twosome first appeared in a [[advertising|commercial]] for [[toilet paper]] switching on-screen time every few seconds. As with many identical twin actors, 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 [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC-TV]] series ''[[Grace Under Fire]]'' from 1993 to 1998, playing one character, Patrick Kelly. |
|||
In 1999, the boys appeared in their first major feature film, ''[[Big Daddy (film)|Big Daddy]]'', in which they shared the role of a five-year old boy named 'Julian' who is adopted by [[Adam Sandler]]'s character 'Sonny Koufax'. That year, the boys collaborated with Sandler on the second and third versions of ''[[The Chanukah Song]]'' (Dylan and The Drei-Dels in Part 3 and Cole in Part 2), and the boys also had a minor role in the thriller ''[[The Astronaut's Wife]]''. The Sprouses have noted that after ''Big Daddy'''s release, the two entered into a slow period in their careers and were not cast in any major roles for a time.<ref name="early show" /> During the early 2000s, the twins appeared in episodes of the ''[[The Nightmare Room]]'' and ''[[That '70s Show]]'', as well as in ''[[MADtv: Season Four (1998-1999)]]'' (episode #425) and the feature films ''[[The Master of Disguise]]'' and a voice-over role in ''[[Eight Crazy Nights|Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights]]''. In 2001, Cole began appearing in episodes of the television show ''[[Friends]]'', as [[Ross Geller]]'s son Ben; this role was not shared with Dylan. |
|||
Between the years of 2002 and 2003, the two appeared in ''[[I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus (film)|I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus]]'' and ''[[Just for Kicks (2003 film)|Just for Kicks]]'', both of which were family films that received a [[direct-to-video]] release. The Sprouses were subsequently cast in the [[Disney Channel]] original series ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]'', where they play identical twins Zack (Dylan) and Cody (Cole) Martin. The series, which debuted in March 2005, has become a ratings success<ref name="early show" /> and the twins have become very well known among pre-teen and teen audiences. As part of their involvement with Disney, the brothers are now part of the 11-member group, the [[Disney Channel Circle of Stars]], and sang the song "[[A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes]]" along with the members of the circle, for a video that was released as bonus material in the special edition version of the [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] film ''[[Cinderella (1950 film)|Cinderella]]''. The Sprouses have also participated in the [[Disney Channel Games]] every year since 2006. |
|||
The Sprouses played one character, Jeremiah, in the [[independent film]] ''[[The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things]]'', which was produced in 2004 but not given a theatrical release until March 2006, when it played at three theatres in the United States, ultimately grossing $29,000 domestically.<ref name="gross">{{cite web | publisher=Box Office Mojo.com | title=The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things | url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=heartisdeceitfulaboveallthings.htm | dateformat=mdy | accessdate=March 1, 2009}}</ref> In 2007, the boys filmed ''[[A Modern Twain Story: The Prince and the Pauper]]''. The two lent their voices to a movie called ''[[Holidaze: The Christmas That Almost Didn't Happen]]'', which also features the voices of fellow Disney Channel stars [[Brenda Song]] and [[Emily Osment]].<ref name="holidaze">{{cite web | publisher=Dylan-Sprouse.org | title=Dylan Sprouse and Cole Sprouse "Holidaze" Trailer | url=http://www.dylan-sprouse.org | dateformat=mdy | accessdate=November 30, 2006}}</ref> Dylan played the voice of Shasta in Disney's "Snow Buddies." The brothers filmed ''Kings of Appletown'' which is based on the book ''[[The Adventures of Tom Sawyer]]''.

According to Dylan, the twins will be filming another Modern Twain Story film beginning in summer of 2009. The film will be called "Sivilized" and will be a modern version of "Huckleberry Finn."<ref>http://www.sprousebros.com/message_center.php,</ref> In March 2009, they became the new face of [[Groupe Danone|Dannon]] Danimals. |

In September 2005, the Sprouses signed a licensing agreement with [[Dualstar|Dualstar Entertainment]] to create a new commercial brand entitled "Sprouse Bros", including [[DVD]] movies, CDs, [[clothing]], [[Sports equipment|sports gear]], [[video games]], ring tones and [[deodorant]]s<ref name="early show"/> targeted towards [[preteen]] and [[teen]] audiences. In Cole's words, the brand was to be targeted to "people who are our age and boys. We don't want anything too girlie", while Dylan said that it would have "something that will appeal to everybody".<ref name=bahney>{{cite web | author=Anna Bahney | date=April 30, 2006 | work=The New York Times | title=Boys Just Want to Be ...

In September 2006, the Sprouse brothers, represented by Dualstar Entertainment, signed a book deal with Simon Spotlight, a publishing company, to release a [[spy]] book series that utilizes the "Sprouse Bros." brand. The book series, which was scheduled for release in the summer of 2007, was described by the publisher as featuring the Sprouses as "young [[James Bond]]s or undercover agents".<ref name="books">{{cite web | work=The Book Standard | title=14-Year-Old Celebrity Twin Actors Looking Forward to Providing Interesting Book Content | url=http://www.thebookstandard.com/bookstandard/news/hollywood/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003155202 | accessdate=2006-09-23}}{{Dead link|date=October 2008}}</ref> |

In June 2007, Simon & Schuster Inc. published the first two volumes of Sprouse Bros. 47 R.O.N.I.N. The series is about 15-year-old twin brothers Tom and Mitch (the Sprouses' middle names) who learn that their father and live-in butler are members of a rogue crime-fighting organization, R.O.N.I.N., which dates back to feudal Japan, that their father is in danger and that they have just been recruited to join their father's clan.<ref name="47 R.O.N.I.N.">{{cite web | work=Simon & Schuster Inc.

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.
