7 Shocking Realities: Where The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody Cast Is Now In 2025
It has been nearly two decades since the Sprouse twins first graced our screens as the mischievous Zack and brilliant Cody Martin, turning the opulent Tipton Hotel into their personal playground. The Disney Channel sitcom, *The Suite Life of Zack & Cody* (2005–2008), followed by *The Suite Life on Deck*, launched its main cast into a stratosphere of fame that few child stars ever achieve.

The Sprouse Twins' Shocking Career Divergence: From Disney to Dark Roles and Mead
The Sprouse twins, Dylan and Cole, have taken distinctly different paths since graduating from their Disney Channel days and attending New York University. Their divergence from the child star archetype is perhaps the most compelling story of the entire cast.
Cole Sprouse: The Photography and Indie Film Pivot
Cole Sprouse, who played the intellectual Cody Martin, is cementing his place as a serious dramatic actor in 2025. After his six-season run as Jughead Jones on the popular CW series *Riverdale*, Sprouse has focused on the big screen.
In 2024, he starred in the horror-comedy *Lisa Frankenstein*, and his upcoming slate is even more ambitious. He is set to star in the film adaptation of the acclaimed novel *I Wish You All The Best* in 2025, playing the role of Thomas. Even more recently, he has a lead role in the thriller *The Rivals of Amziah King*, also slated for a 2025 release, showcasing his commitment to darker, more complex cinematic projects.
Beyond acting, Cole is an established professional photographer, having shot for major publications and fashion brands, demonstrating a creative depth that extends far beyond the Tipton Hotel suite.
Dylan Sprouse: Entrepreneurship and Adult Cinema
Dylan Sprouse, the actor behind the mischievous Zack Martin, has embraced both the world of entrepreneurship and adult-oriented cinema. After a hiatus from acting to pursue his degree in video game design, Dylan co-founded All-Wise Meadery in Brooklyn, New York. This craft beverage business has been a major focus, establishing him as a successful entrepreneur in a niche market.
In his acting career, Dylan has gravitated toward independent and adult films, including the romantic drama *After We Collided*. His personal life also made headlines in 2025, as he and his wife, supermodel Barbara Palvin, were featured prominently in the Victoria's Secret spotlight, further solidifying his status as a fashion and lifestyle figure.
While the twins have largely pursued separate careers, Dylan recently mentioned that a future collaborative acting project with Cole is something they are both considering, though it may take time to find the right script.
From Candy Counter to C-Suite: Ashley Tisdale’s Multi-Million Dollar Brand Frenshe
Ashley Tisdale, who played the hardworking candy counter girl Maddie Fitzpatrick, has undergone one of the most dramatic and lucrative career transformations of the entire cast. She has successfully pivoted from acting and music (known for *High School Musical*) to becoming a powerful wellness and beauty mogul.
The Frenshe Empire and Ashley French
In 2025, Tisdale’s primary focus is her self-care and body care brand, Frenshe (officially Being Frenshe). The brand has expanded into major retail partnerships and recently launched a new hair care line, cementing her role as CEO and a major player in the wellness space.
Tisdale, now a mother of two, has publicly stated that she has stepped away from releasing new music to dedicate her time to running her company and raising her family. She has also begun to professionally use her married name, Ashley French, for her personal and parenting content, including her blog and social media, signalling a clear separation from her Disney past and a focus on her current life as a business owner and mother.
London Tipton's Mature Dramatic Roles and Mr. Moseby’s Directorial Power
The supporting cast members, Brenda Song and Phill Lewis, have also seen their careers evolve significantly, with both finding great success in new, mature roles and behind-the-scenes work.
Brenda Song: From Heiress to Netflix Star
Brenda Song, who brilliantly played the ditzy heiress London Tipton, has successfully transitioned into dramatic and mature roles. Her career has been marked by a consistent effort to take on diverse and challenging characters.
In 2024 and 2025, Song is gaining renewed recognition for her work in the drama film *The Last Showgirl*, where she starred opposite Pamela Anderson. She has also taken on a major role as a chief of staff in the new Netflix series *Running Point*, showcasing her versatility in a professional, political setting far removed from the Tipton's luxury suites.
Song’s ability to move seamlessly between comedy, drama, and independent film has established her as one of the most successful Disney Channel alumni in terms of sustained acting credibility.
Phill Lewis: The Sitcom Director Powerhouse
Phill Lewis, forever known as the stern but lovable hotel manager Mr. Moseby, has quietly become one of the most prolific and in-demand television directors in Hollywood. While he still acts occasionally (with a potential return as Turk's brother for a *Scrubs* revival being discussed), his primary career is now behind the camera.
In 2024 and 2025, Lewis has added numerous director credits to his impressive resume, including helming episodes of major sitcoms such as *Poppa's House* and *Extended Family* (2023). He also has a 2025 directing credit for the animated series *Vampirina: Teenage Vampire*. Lewis’s directorial style, honed on the *Suite Life* sets, has made him a go-to director for multi-camera comedies, solidifying his legacy not just as an actor but as a powerful creative force in television production.
Kim Rhodes' Enduring Fan Connection and Theatre Work
Kim Rhodes, who played the twins' mother Carey Martin, has maintained a strong connection with her fanbase through her other iconic television roles, most notably as Sheriff Jody Mills on the long-running series *Supernatural*.
In 2025, Rhodes remains highly active on the fan convention circuit, regularly appearing at major events like the *Supernatural* Creation Cruise, where she engages directly with her dedicated followers. Rhodes is also a respected figure in the theatre community and often uses her platform to advocate for body positivity and mental health awareness, demonstrating a commitment to causes outside of Hollywood acting. While her recent on-screen roles may be less frequent than her co-stars, her impact through fan engagement and teaching remains significant.
