Cole Sprouse Biography
Born: August 04, 1992
It would be difficult to land a more preternatural start to acting than American Cole Sprouse. An identical twin, the fair-haired Cole reportedly commenced television appearances as early as six months old, when he and brother Dylan were jointly cast as Patrick Kelly, the eight-month-old son of acid-mouthed oil-refinery worker Grace Kelly (Brett_Butler) in the popular ABC sitcom Grace_Under_Fire. After that program's cancellation in 1998, the Sprouses signed to appear opposite funnyman Adam_Sandler in his 1999 comedy Big_Daddy, directed by Dennis_Dugan. In that vehicle, the then-five-year-old twins play Julian, a little boy adopted by misfit and loser Sonny Koufax (Sandler), who hopes to prove to his estranged girlfriend that he's capable of juggling "adult" responsibilities.
As they aged, the twins branched out into separate roles and careers. The divergence began around 2000, when Cole Sprouse signed (sans his other half) to play Ben, the school-age son of Ross Geller (David_Schwimmer), in several episodes of the blockbuster sitcom Friends. In 2001, the Sprouses reunited onscreen (and re-teamed with Adam_Sandler) to voice the K-B Toys Soldiers in Sandler's animated holiday comedy Adam_Sandler's_Eight_Crazy_Nights. From this point on, the Sprouses typically appeared together (as -- surprise -- brothers!) in lieu of playing the same role interchangeably. For example, they portrayed soccer-playing twins in the family-friendly 2003 comedy Just_4_Kicks, directed by Farrelly Brothers collaborator Sidney_Bartholomew_Jr. The brothers hit a zenith of sorts with their 2005 sitcom The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, in which they play a couple of wiseacre twins who reside in a Beantown hotel and wreak all sorts of havoc there.
