Impact
From Big Daddy to Zack & Cody and beyond, Dylan and Cole hold a unique place in entertainment history — particularly as part of the Disney Channel’s defining era. Their ability to transition into serious adult roles and pursuits has kept them relevant and admired, not just as nostalgic figures but as evolving adults with real agency over their careers and lives.
Both twins continue forging ahead with new projects — Dylan with his acting, business, and creative collaborations; Cole with his evolving filmography, artistic pursuits, and potential behind‑the‑camera ambitions. While not every step is under public scrutiny, both continue to surprise, transform, and define life “after childhood stardom.”
