GETTING TO KNOW: COLE & DYLAN SPROUSE

Cole & Dylan Sprouse in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody

Identical twins Cole and Dylan Sprouse have been acting since they were 6 months old! At 1 year, they began sharing the role of Brett Butler’s son on ABC’s hit series “Grace Under Fire.” They’ve also starred in the Adam Sandler movie “Big Daddy” and Cole appeared without Dylan on NBC’s hit show “Friends” as Ross’s son, Ben. In 2005, the 13 year-old boys landed their own Disney Channel sitcom, “The Suite Life of Zach and Cody.” Recently the guys s at down with our pals at TEEN magazine. Here’s what they had to say for themselves…

Teen: How much are you guys like your characters on The Suite Life?
Cole: Actually, the characters are based off us so then the names changed and a few characteristics got tweaked but we basically are our characters. Cody is more of a nerd on the show than I am in real life. He's a mega-nerd.
Dylan: Zack's a little more rambunctious than I am. I'm not saying I'm not rambunctious…

Teen: Do you two ever argue?
Cole: We argued last night!
Dylan: And this morning!
Cole: Dylan will be mad and then I'll tease him a little more about it.
Dylan: And then I'll try to beat him up and he'll come back and try to beat me up. And then we'll sit down and think, "What were we fighting about?" It’s always something stupid that we're fighting about like video games or, "I was drinking that soda!"

Teen: Have you ever argued over a girl?
Dylan: Actually we've never fought over the same girl, but on the show we have.

Teen: Do you guys have a say in what you get to wear on the show?
Cole: They asked us before the show even started what we liked. I went out and told them my style. And since Cody on the show is kind of a geek, they got sweater vests ? Dorky looking clothes.

Teen: Have you had any funny or embarrassing moments on the set?
Dylan: All the time! This set is funny and embarrassing every day.
Cole: Actually, last night it was a live taping and I tripped. We had to ride these tricycles and I tripped and fell right above the stairs. It's kind of hard to ride a tricycle after you've gotten used to riding a bike.

Teen: Do you ever play practical jokes on each other or the girls?
Dylan: Actually, Ashley (Tisdale) played a joke on me with Aly and AJ Michalka. They came over and I just told them ahead of time, sometimes I think there are ghosts in my dressing room because I hear weird things like talking and stuff like that. And then I ran into their room one day and was like, "Oh my gosh, I heard this sound and it sounded so weird. It sounded like a monkey." And they were like, "No way, we've got to check it out." So secretly, little did I know, Alyson snuck in my bathroom into the shower where I wasn't looking. So we were sitting down playing this game, Ashley and AJ knew, and we heard these monkey noises. I was like, "Did you hear that you guys?" Ashley was like, "Nah." So then she pretended to go to the bathroom and she came back and was like, "Oh my God Dylan, I heard it, I heard it!" So the rest of the day they tricked me about it and finally I figured out that it was Alyson. It was bad because I usually get Ashley pretty good so it was horrible.
