Power of Young Hollywood 2019: Cole Sprouse left Hollywood on his own terms. Then, he booked Riverdale, 'and it ended up tugging me back'

opted out on his own terms. The 2005 hit Disney Channel sitcom “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” turned Cole and his twin brother, Dylan, into the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen of their generation. But after the series and its spinoff wrapped, Cole was ready for something new.

That was an arrangement they used often — although sometimes they’d take roles on their own . Their big break was getting cast together in the 1999 comedy “Big Daddy,” playing an abandoned kid adopted by a boorish bachelor in the form of Adam Sandler. Sprouse recalls how one night during the shoot, a fire alarm went off in the hotel the cast was staying at in New York. “Adam Sandler carried me on his shoulder down 45 flights of stairs, which was really cute,” he says.

They spent six years at Disney, with three seasons on “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” and another three on the spinoff, “The Suite Life on Deck.” Despite an offer to do a third series with Disney, Cole and Dylan knew they wanted to attend college, and both were accepted to NYU. Still, it took some adjustment. “The amount of rumors that were spread about Dylan and I were incredible,” says Cole, who heard stories about how he’d fallen down the stairs at the school library.

But Sprouse isn’t in a hurry to graduate from “Riverdale.” He says the show has given him a renewed appreciation for acting, one he couldn’t have when he was younger, because he was so focused on being his family’s breadwinner.

asl stands for age, sex, location. Oh my god, my heart. 💗💗

Cole Sprouse is too smart for the business. How refreshing to hear a smart, intelligent and thoughtful individual. He should be in politics. He is needed there.

He makes a valid point on child actors and social media. The scrutiny that follows them. They aren’t allowed to be just stupid kids like we all once were

Followers sucks

He's 100% correct, I will also say talent won't get ppl in seats either sadly.

Cole: we don’t look to similar anymore... Me: 👀........ bwa hahaha that was a good one Cole nice joke. 🤣

Maybe Disney needs to grow a heart and give Ollie his Spider-Man

Great Actor , and Cool Man , nice smile , talent , we love to colesprouse 😍🤗😎
