The Tipton Hotel was filled with a wonderful group of characters in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, — what has the supporting cast been up to since the show ended? The Disney Channel original show, which starred identical twins Cole and Dylan Sprouse in the titular roles, ran from 2005-2008 and bolstered 87 episodes.
The series followed the two miscreant boys as they made a total ruckus out of everything they touched. And when the show was still in high demand, they made the transition to the open waters on a spin-off series entitled The Suite Life on Deck. That show similarly ran for three years before finally ending in 2011.
While the Suite Life series may be these actors' claims to fame in a generation's eye, the bulk of the supporting cast – Brenda Song, Phill Lewis, Ashley Tisdale and Kim Rhodes – have been active since their "suite lives" on the Disney Channel series ended.
Brenda Song
Brenda Song played London Tipton on both Suite Life series, the heiress to the Tipton financial throne. Song's Disney career was pretty extensive beyond the two shows, however, as she starred in several Disney films, including Get a Clue, Stuck in the Suburbs, and Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior.
She made the transition to mainstream movies in 2010, when she appeared in David Fincher's critically acclaimed Facebook drama The Social Network. Soon after that, she started playing recurring roles in various television shows, including Dads, New Girl, Scandal, and Pure Genius. Recently, Song starred in the Netflix psychological thriller Secret Obsession and even returned to the Mouse House to lend her voice to Anne Boonchuy in the animated series Amphibia.
Phill Lewis
Phill Lewis played Mr. Moseby, the uptight manager of first the Tipton Hotel and then the S.S. Tipton in the spin-off series. Like Song, Phill Lewis' Disney career expanded beyond the Suite Life series, as the actor also appeared as a guest star in That's So Raven and Phineas and Ferb.
Since then, Lewis' career as remained with the Mouse House not as an actor, but as a director. After making his Disney Channel directorial debut on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Lewis has directed episodes on A.N.T. Farm, Austin & Ally, Good Luck Charlie, Kickin' It, and Jessie.
Ashley Tisdale
Ashley Tisdale played the lovable Maggie Fitzgerald in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, the Tipton Hotel's candy clerk girl in the front lobby. Tisdale noticeably didn't make the jump from the Hotel to the S.S. Tipton because her career had begun to skyrocket. Her success from the High School Musical franchise brought her a recording contract from Warner Bros. Records, and she began working on her music career most prominently from 2006-2009. During that time, her albums and songs regularly hit towards the top of the charts.
She returned to television in 2010, starring in several series that didn't amount to much, though she did make an appearance in season 5 of FX's Sons of Anarchy. After some more underwhelming television and film roles, including the starring role in Scary Movie 5, Tisdale made the jump back into the music industry where she, along with her husband Christopher French, have been working primarily since.
Kim Rhodes
Kim Rhodes played Carey Martin on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, the titular twins' mother whose job it was to sing at the Tipton Hotel. Like Tisdale, Rhodes didn't join the main cast On Deck – save a few special guest appearances – though she did find success on the CW series Supernatural as Sheriff Jody Mills.
Rhodes has had a few other roles since her appearance in Supernatural. While there were discussions for some time about a Rhodes reprising her role as Sherriff Jody Mills in a potential Supernatural spin-off series, it never came to be.
