Watch: Dylan Sprouse Play a Hustler (in Pink Taffeta) in 'Daddy'

Dylan Sprouse may be best-known for appearing on the Disney teen sitcom "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" (and "Riverdale") with his twin brother Cole in which they played troublesome twins living in a Boston hotel.

In "Daddy," his latest film, Dylan returns to a hotel suite, but this time in a pink, taffeta dress. The 20-minute film, which can be seen below, is directed by Christian Coppola, who says he's a distant relative to Hollywood icon Francis Ford Coppola. "I'm not close enough to get invited for Thanksgiving dinner," he told Variety in 2018. "There's no real direct connection. I really see myself as my own entity and I want to tell my stories."

At that time Coppola had just finished shooting "Daddy," which he shot over three days at New York's Plaza Hotel in February, 2018. In the film Sprouse plays a hustler hired by an 80-year old man (Tony winner Ron Rifkin) to help him celebrate the first anniversary of his late wife's death. "Instead of the plain-old daddy-gives-baby-takes relationship, the film subverts power dynamics, exploring love, desire, seduction, and death," writes Interview Magazine in a conversation between Coppola and Sprouse.

"A fleeting moment scene inside the hotel's elevator–a dolled-up guest muttering, 'You and your daddy look very handsome tonight'–invites the audience to question their own assumptions, about both the characters and themselves. Humanity is a complex machine, and Coppola beautifully tackles it in less than 20 minutes."

The film marked Sprouse return to movie making after a break to attend school. "I feel like for me coming out of college, after a very long break away from acting, this was certainly a character that I had not seen recently in any projects or scripts that I had been sent."

Sprouse and Coppola met while studying at New York University's Tisch Film School, where "Sprouse fell in lust with the script," he told Interview. Enroute he discovered what he liked most about his craft.

Nowadays, part of my pilgrimage away from acting and then coming back was certainly in an effort to discover myself, what I really loved about acting. I had almost become a bit disenfranchised, as often times actors do when you work on it as a 9:00 to 5:00 and you do it day in and day out for very many years, acting in the same characters. For me, what's important now is working with good groups of people and living for the experience on set. I found that on 'Daddy,' it was probably one of my favorite set experiences, because of the mix of cast and crew that we had. It's just a very memorable experience for me. I don't know if I'm fully strong enough or good enough as an actor to say that I don't suffer from, for lack of a better word, the vibes on set. I certainly do. I wish that it didn't."
