Dylan Thomas Sprouse (born August 4, 1992) is an American actor. He is known for his role as Zack Martin on the Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and its spin-off, The Suite Life on Deck, where he starred alongside his twin brother Cole Sprouse. He is an owner of the All-Wise Meadery in Brooklyn, New York.[1]

Early life

[edit]

Sprouse was born August 4, 1992, in Arezzo, Italy, to American parents, Matthew Sprouse and Melanie Wright.[2][3][4] Dylan was born 15 minutes before his twin brother Cole Sprouse and was named after Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas.[5][6] When the twins were four months old, they moved to Long Beach, California, their parents' hometown.[3]

Career

[edit]

Sprouse started his career in 1993 on television, alongside his twin brother Cole Sprouse, sharing the role of Patrick Kelly in Grace Under Fire until 1998. For the next several years, he continued to appear in several films and television series with his brother. Sprouse co-starred alongside his brother in the Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody from 2005 to 2008; during his time on the show he was, according to Kim Rhodes, body-shamed for putting on weight.[7]

In 2017, he was cast in the lead role of Lucas Ward for the thriller film Dismissed.[8] In the same year, he appeared in a short film, Carte Blanche, and was cast in comedy film Banana Split as Nick.[9][10] In 2018, Sprouse opened All-Wise Meadery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn,[11][12] the name of which is a reference to his Heathen religion.[13]

He joined the short film Daddy as Paul in 2019.[14]

In 2020, Sprouse starred as Trevor in After We Collided, the sequel to the 2019 film After.[15] In May 2020, it was announced that Heavy Metal and DiGa Studios would be releasing the first issue of Sprouse's comic book Sun Eater.[16]

In 2021, he starred in Tyger Tyger as Luke Hart and in the Chinese film The Curse of Turandot as Calaf.[17]

Personal life

[edit]

Following the end of The Suite Life on Deck in 2011, Sprouse attended New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study and obtained a four-year degree in video game design.[18] He has identified as a Heathen since age 15.[19]

Since 2018, Sprouse has been in a relationship with model Barbara Palvin.[20] They resided in Brooklyn for over two years, before moving to Los Angeles in 2021.[21] In June 2023, they announced that they had been engaged since September 2022.[22] The couple married on July 15, 2023.[23]

Sprouse is a co-founder and brand ambassador of Thor's Skyr, an American-made high-protein cultured dairy product.[24][25]
