Eleven year old identical twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse were born August 4, 1992 in Abrezzo, Italy and raised in Southern California.
They started acting act the age of 6 months, at the suggestion of their grandmother, an actress and drama teacher. From 1993
to 1998 they shared the role of Rhett Butler's youngest child, Patrick Kelly on the ABC series "Grace Under Fire".
They are most recognized for their role as Julian in Adam Sandler's 1999 feature film "Big Daddy". Co-star Adam
Sandler said about the twins "These boys are so talented, I didnšt mind it when they stole scenes from me." In the
same month that Big Daddy was released, their second feature film The Astronaut's Wife (1999), starring Johnny Depp and Charlize
Theron was also released. During the 2000-2002 season Dylan and Cole made numerous appearances on the hit NBC series Friends,
portraying Ross's son Ben Gellar. Other movies you will spot them in are Dana Carvey's movie Master of Disguise (2002), where
they portrayed a young Dana Carvey. Most recently, they were in Adam Sandler's animated movie Eight Crazy Nights.
Although they are identical twins, they have very different personalities. Dylan, who is the oldest by 15 minutes, and
Cole, are very close despite their differences. Dylan is more laid back and easy going, while Cole is more of an extrovert.
Cole's favorite subject in school is science, while Dylan's is math. Even when it comes to basketball teams, they don't share
the same opinion. Dylan's favorite team is the Los Angeles Lakers, while Cole favors the Utah Jazz. One thing the boys have
in common is their love of animals, they have 3 Boston Terrier dogs at home that they adore.
The twins love sports, especially motocross, snowboarding, and basketball. They also love playing video games and competing
against each other.
