Oregon born artist Kim Rhodes was in her 30s when she landed the role of the melodic matriarch Casey Martin — who had double duty as the mother to the twin boys and was also the Boston Tipton Hotel’s lounge singer — on the early 2000s Disney Channel sitcom, “The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody” and the 2008 follow-up “The Suite Life On Deck.”
KR shared the small screen with some top-notch talent including Ashley Tisdale as the sweets-slanging, Maddie Fitzpatrick, Brenda Song as the hotel heir, London Tipton … and of course, Dylan and Cole Sprouse as her adorable sons Zack and Cody Martin.
