The Mom From The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody Is Unrecognizable Today

No running in the lobby! Think back to the golden days of Disney Channel, when the world was first meeting Miley Cyrus and every boy had Zac Efron's shaggy hairstyle. It's impossible to forget the iconic series "The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody." The show premiered on Disney Channel in 2005 and ran until 2008. (The spin-off series "The Suite Life on Deck" ran until 2011.) It starred identical twins Dylan and Cole Sprouse as the title characters, Zack and Cody Martin, young tweens living in a five-star hotel. The boys lived there with their mother Carey Martin, who was the hotel's lounge singer.

Carey Martin was the mom everyone wished they had. She was a loving single mother who had cool spiky hair and was the go-to person for advice. Carey was played by actor Kim Rhodes and became one of the most memorable parents to ever be on kids' TV. Nowadays, Rhodes' loves to connect with her fans on social media by posting fun videos and sweet throwback photos. Even though her time on Disney Channel was 20 years ago, Rhodes' still keeps the memories alive by writing in her bio: "Zack and Cody's mom."

As an actor with musical talent as well, Kim Rhodes is still active in Hollywood. After "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" ended, Rhodes continued to appear in films and television. She most notably played Sheriff Jody Mills on the CW's hit show "Supernatural." Her character became a fan favorite, so much so that she often attends fan conventions to discuss the science-fiction show. Rhodes also appeared on "Criminal Minds" and its spin-off "Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders." When she is not acting, Rhodes is at home spending time with her family or volunteering at a local animal sanctuary.

While on Disney Channel, Rhodes experimented with different hairstyles. She started off with a short and spiky blond 'do that felt fun and edgy. As time went on, Rhodes dyed her hair a dark auburn and eventually a luxurious chocolate glossy liquid brunette shade. She then grew her hair longer to where it touched her shoulders and finalized the look with blunt bangs (which can be one of the hairstyles that make your face look rounder). Today, Rhodes continues to look chic by styling her straight gray hair into a long bob cut with a middle part for extra dimension. She wears her hair in different ways whether it's in a practical ponytail or with a cute cap.

Kim Rhodes has made it clear that her time on "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" is as memorable to her as it is to fans. She speaks very highly of her previous co-stars, Dylan and Cole Sprouse. The actors were only 11 years old when they began the show, but have since become Hollywood stars. Dylan has starred in a few movies, including "After We Collided," and is married to model Barbara Palvin. Cole famously played the role of Jughead Jones in the popular series "Riverdale" on the CW. 

Even though Rhodes isn't in touch with the famous twin brothers, she stays updated on their projects through social media. "I am aware of everything they're doing, but I never want them to feel like I'm an obligation," she said to People. Rhodes insisted that she is happy to see the boys (and her other young co-stars) in their different creative endeavors, whether it is acting or otherwise. "What I personally love to see is that they all have such unique voices as people and as artists," Rhodes explained. "I love seeing how unique and funny and talented they all are."
