The Real Reason You Don't Hear From Dylan Sprouse Anymore

June 2024 · 1 minute read

If Dylan Sprouse hasn't been on your radar lately, that's partially by design. He seems to innately gravitate towards left-field projects, perhaps because he's been wholly submerged in the mainstream for the better part of his life. Talking about his twin brother Cole and his ongoing stint on The CW's Riverdale, Dylan told Vulture: "I think Cole's in a place where he's very happy right now, whereas I would be happiest doing more films with a lower budget." 

His recent projects reflect his interest in art that's "independent, expressive, [and] really small-scale." In June 2018, Flaunt reported that Dylan was co-starring with the likes of Jack Kilmer, Johnny Whitworth, and Suki Waterhouse in Eva Doležalová's' short film Carte Blanche, which the magazine described as "a surrealist exploration of the psychology of sudden fame." 

In the 2017 film Dismissed, Dylan portrays a sociopathic student willing to do whatever it takes to get that gold star. Meanwhile, the quirky rom-com Banana Split finds him playing a young man who falls in love with his best friend (played by Hannah Marks, pictured left.) As he told Vulture: "I tend to enjoy roles that I very closely identify with: fringe people and complicated characters, who might even be bad guys."
