@razborgruz.engine: Former Disney Star Reveals He Only Got One Residual Check After Filming 190 Episodes Dylan Sprouse starred in one of the most popular Disney Channel shows of all time, but he just revealed a surprising behind-the-scenes financial secret. Sprouse and his twin brother Cole starred in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and its spinoff for over six years. Together, they filmed around 190 episodes that aired constantly in 90 different countries. But during a recent podcast with his former co-star Phil Lewis, who played Mr. Moseby, Sprouse explained that the hit series was actually extremely underfunded. Lewis claimed their contracts had a loophole that allowed the network to film as many episodes as they wanted in a calendar year. They reportedly called the entire year a single season to avoid giving the cast a pay bump. That was when Sprouse revealed exactly how much he earned in residuals. Despite the show's massive global success, Sprouse says he only ever received a single residual check for his work on the series. It was for a crossover episode with Hannah Montana—and the check was for exactly five cents. Sprouse confirmed he was not joking, pointing out that he never received another paycheck for the constant television reruns. Despite the financial frustration, Sprouse still looks back fondly on his time with the cast. He shared that he still talks to Lewis every week, calling him a second father figure who inspired his true love for acting. Are you surprised by how much he made from the reruns? #DylanSprouse #SuiteLife #DisneyChannel #PopCulture #EntertainmentNews
