[edit] Character information
Zack has a more "cool" attitude and does not have as much knowledge or common sense as Cody because Zack's mind is full of thoughts relating to girls and video games. According to the show, Zack has only gotten 1 B and 2 As (one of the As is only mentioned as an 85) in school. While he is not the best student academically, in the episode "Books & Birdhouses" he showed that he is extremely good at woodshop, to the point that his teacher decided to recommend him for advanced placement woodshop. Cody was stressed because Zack was better than him at woodshop.
Zack is the more troublesome of the twins. They are both are huge fans of the Boston Red Sox, and hate the New York Yankees, as addressed in "Big Hair & Baseball". He likes skateboarding, playing basketball, and soccer; all which he is good at. He is also good at dancing, especially hip hop-style dancing. He is always playing pranks on his twin brother, and is more of a slob than him.
Although his brother is described as being the sweeter person of the two, Zack has proven to be the more loving brother in many episodes, and often defends Cody from bullies ("Kept Man"). He also has tried to destroy Cody's confidence, as shown in "French 101". Zack is more interested in girls, and makes advances on Maddie more frequently than on other girls, going as far as openly flirting with his brother Cody's girlfriends Gwen and Jolie. He tends to drag Cody into predicaments. He usually impresses girls with ease, but they sometimes think he's weird. He is said to have a "pointless" crush on Maddie, but this was disproved in "A Prom Story". He wants to be smart and pretends to take an interest in Maddie's likings when she is around. He talks sweet to her, having said "Hey, sweet thang" to her over 15 times in the two seasons. He wishes to become a race car driver/secret agent.
Zack has also been seen to be a bit hypocritical, as seen in "Poor Little Rich Girl" and "French 101".
[edit] Skills
He owns and is able to play a harmonica, as shown in "Boston Holiday". He has played lead/rhythm guitar for Rock2 in "Band in Boston" with fellow band members Cody Martin on the keyboard and backing vocalist, Max on guitar and backing vocals, and Tapeworm on drums.
Zack is an exceptional bowler, as seen in "Bowling", averaging 225.
[edit] Relationships

- He often competes with Cody for the attentions of the same girl as in "French 101 and A Midsummer's Nightmare."

- He tries to get romantic with English-born twins Jessica and Janice but more often than not he loses them to Cody -- Birdman of Boston, Twins at the Tipton, and Scary Movie. However in Lost in Translation he manages to get them to notice him.
- In "Ask Zack" he writes an advice column and uses it to get a girl named Darlene to go out with him.
