Cole Sprouse was born and raised in the Los Angeles area, surrounded by his loving family, including his parents, older sister Katelin, and two dogs. Growing up, he was inspired by his sister's television appearances and decided to pursue a career in acting himself. With unwavering determination and a charming personality, Cole embarked on his own acting journey.
In 2001, Cole made his feature film debut in American Pie 2, followed by a co-starring role in the hit drama Alias alongside Jennifer Garner and Michael Vartan. One of his most memorable roles was as "Jojo," a series regular on the show "St. Georges," which was filmed on location in South Africa. The set was an isolated animal reserve, where the cast and crew camped in an empty lions' cage for safety, and guards were stationed to protect against wild animals. During filming, Cole had the opportunity to work with various native animals, including lions, elephants, monkeys, giraffes, and mongooses.
In 2003, Cole appeared in the movie Paris, playing a younger version of the main character. Over the past year, he has been seen in numerous popular television shows, including Summerland, Malcolm in the Middle, Oliver Beene, and Mad TV. Most recently, he appeared as "Timmy" in the Halloween episode of Oliver Beene and completed filming on a holiday episode of ER, entitled "Twas the Night." Keep an eye out for this episode, in which Cole plays the character "Harry Price," when it airs this December, and be sure to visit his Photos page for pictures from the set!
Outside of acting, Cole remains busy with various hobbies and interests. He is an avid rock climber and has scaled formations in Alaska, Oregon, Utah, and California. He is also very active in baseball, with his team taking second place last season and aiming to come in first next season. You can often find him swimming, skateboarding, playing chess, and looking forward to frequent trips to visit his grandparents in Alaska. Cole loves listening to music and plays the drums regularly. Whenever he has free time, he enjoys spending time with his friends and being a kid at heart.
Cole's main goals are to survive school, work with Matt Damon, and when he is old enough, own a Mini Cooper.
