Zack and Cody are at it again. In May, Dylan and Cole Sprouse graduated from New York University. But the identical twin former child stars, 22, couldn't resist leaving without playing a little prank on the other seniors and parents.
The pair, who starred in Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, admitted that when it came time to accept their diplomas, they swapped places on stage. "We actually received each other's diplomas," Cole said. "In fact, if you look up my graduating photo you'll see," Dylan added. "We just decided, you know, there's no reason not to. No one's going to notice." Neither one of the Disney stars ended up attending NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Cole studied archaeology while Dylan majored in video game design. "The one thing I knew for sure about myself is I didn't want to study acting," Dylan said. "It was something we had done and something that we don't really need to train all that much more for."
Dylan and Cole Sprouse made their acting debut in 1993 in ABC's Grace Under Fire.
In the interview, Dylan and Cole also explained that they wanted to step away from the industry to get their diplomas and decided to not study acting. "The one thing I knew for sure about myself is I didn't want to study acting," Dylan explained. "It was something we had done and something that we don't really need to train all that much more for. As for their next move now that they have graduated, the two plan to act and work on other projects. "We've sent a couple of tapes into a couple projects just to keep ourselves up to date," Cole said. The two are both currently writing for potential new acting projects, and Cole has a prospective play at the Whitney Museum in November.
