While Cole Sprouse has spent the past three years playing Jughead Jones on Riverdale, his twin brother, Dylan Sprouse, has spent far less time in the limelight. Save for his starring role in the 2017 indie thriller Dismissed, Dylan has done very little acting since The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (though you can expect to see him playing "F*cking Trevor" in the upcoming movie After We Collided). So what exactly has the other Sprouse twin been up to? Believe it or not, Dylan has spent most of his time since his Disney days making mead in Brooklyn, NY.
After graduating from NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study in 2015 with a degree in video game design, Dylan went on to open All-Wise Meadery in the basement of Williamsburg's William Vale Hotel three years later. During an August 2018 interview with Vanity Fair, Dylan explained that brewing his own mead was...

Dylan Sprouse is no stranger to the big screen, having started his acting career at just eight months old alongside his identical, younger twin brother, Cole. From their breakout role in Adam Sandler’s “Big Daddy” to becoming Disney Channel stars as tweens, the Sprouse Twins seemed destined for a lifelong career in show business until they both took a break from acting to attend New York University in 2011. While Cole returned to television in 2016 to star as Jughead Jones in the CW’s hit series “Riverdale,” Dylan is finally making his own return to acting with the lead role in a new thriller, “Dismissed.”
Sprouse plays Lucas Ward, a high schooler who transfers into the classroom of English teacher Mr. Butler (Kent Osbourne). On the surface, Lucas seems like a dream student. He’s punctual, earns straight A’s, and comes to class tucked into pressed pants and blazers — an overachiever,...

This might seem like total fantasy if not for the fact that young people have been seen to be increasingly unstable throughout the last few decades. The simple fact that Dylan Sprouse is playing a psychopath in Dismissed is more than just a film role, it’s a very frightening and over the top look at a mind that cannot handle even the smallest bit of rejection that is aimed in his direction. Perfection is key and nothing can be allowed to ruin the personal Utopia that he’s attempting to create for himself. We’ve all likely seen at least one movie
