6	Sprouse is best known for his shared childhood acting career with twin brother [[Creator/DylanSprouse Dylan]]. As a unit, they made their debut in the Creator/{{ABC}} sitcom ''Series/GraceUnderFire'', which they later followed up with roles in the 1999 Creator/AdamSandler comedy ''Film/BigDaddy''. It should be noted that Dylan ''didn't'' share a role with him on Creator/{{NBC}}'s ''Series/{{Friends}}'', as the son of Creator/DavidSchwimmer's Ross Geller.
7
8	After splitting roles throughout their childhood, the Creator/DisneyChannel {{kidcom}} ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'' was their first project that featured Cole & Dylan as distinct entities. After three seasons, they reprised the roles of Zack and Cody on its {{sequel series}} ''The Suite Life on Deck'', which ran for an additional three seasons.
9
10	Following the end of ''Suite Life'', both brothers took a break from acting to focus on their studies at New York University, where Cole graduated with a degree in archeology. During this time, he also took up photography as a side profession.
11
12	Sprouse returned to acting in 2017 when he was cast as [[Characters/ArchieComics Jughead Jones]] in ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'', the Creator/TheCW's reimagining of the ComicBook/ArchieComics franchise.

40	----
41	!!He provides examples of:
42	* BigLittleBrother: He's the younger Sprouse twin, but is about an inch taller than Dylan, standing at 6'0", while Dylan is 5'11".
43	* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: He was named after jazz pianist Music/NatKingCole.
44	* OlderThanTheyLook: He's retained his boyish soft facial features from his childhood a bit more than his brother even after hitting 30, allowing him to play high school characters more believably than many other actors his age. For example, he was in his mid-20s when he was cast as Jughead on ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'', but despite having played Cody Martin as an actual kid years prior, he still looked the most convincing in the cast.
45	* JustForFun/OneOfUs: Is a fan of ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' and ''Franchise/OnePiece'', among others.
46	* SpearCounterpart: He and Dylan were very comparable to Creator/MaryKateAndAshleyOlsen as children, with them either sharing roles or acting opposite one another in their many projects.
