[edit] Minor Characters
These are the minor characters appearing in the show.
[edit] Tipton Staff
- Wilfred Tipton (voiced by Bob Joles) -- He is the owner of the Tipton hotel and father to London, and has not actually appeared (although his voice was heard in "Not So Suite 16" and "Lip Synchin' in the Rain"). It is not actually clear how he became the owner of the Tipton, because London mentions many times that her father bought the hotel. However, in a few episodes, it is said that Tipton's ancestors owned the hotel first before he did. This may yet be another example of London's ignorance, or a continuity error. In the episode "Rock Star in the House", Wilfred Tipton is Adamant about London's behavior to Celebrities, thus making her think that Wilfred is actually Adamant. His hand was once seen in the episode "Lip Synchin' in the Rain", in which he was wearing a diamond ring. Wilfred Tipton also has a history of marrying women without London's consent, most of which do not last long.
Note: Apparently, The Warrenty of Wilfred's Wedding Gift's (Given by Mr. Moseby) lasted longer than the marrages.
- Irene (played by Sharon Jordan) — The concierge for the Tipton Hotel, Irene is usually seen in the background during scenes in the lobby. In "Boston Tea Party", she gets her first speaking part. Irene sabotaged Maddie's traveling candy cart in "Nurse Zack", to which Maddie alludes to Irene not having very many speaking parts by replying, "It's always the quiet ones."
- Norman (played by Anthony Acker) — The doorman for the Tipton Hotel, Norman's first appearance was in the episode "Free Tippy". He is also usually a background character, but is shown to have a hiding spot for Zack's belongings when he skips school in "What the Hey".
- Skippy (played by Bo Crutcher) — The night-manager of the Tipton Hotel, he grew up in a farm and said his grandfather was scary. He is not very bright, and appears to be frightened of Mr. Moseby. Skippy was left in charge of the hotel in the episode "I Want My Mummy".
- Deborah (played by Brenda Vivian) — Is a maid at the Tipton. She attended Cody's party in "Odd Couples", and competed in the competition for Employee of the Month in "Nurse Zack", in which Maddie stole her cart and turned into a traveling candy counter.
- Rose (played by Emily Morris) — Is a maid at the Tipton. Her first appearance was in the episode "Odd Couples", and she later appeared in "Nurse Zack".
- Rich and Gary — Are two unfortunate waiters at the Tipton restaurant. An example of their bad luck appears in "Heck's Kitchen", when they were hit by doors. In "Twins at the Tipton", Mr Moseby mentions that the head waiter Patrick crashed his sports car into Rich. Gary was hit by the ambulance when it arrived.
- Chef Paolo (played by Jerry Kernion) — The Tipton chef seen in three episodes: "Heck's Kitchen", "Health and Fitness", and "Foiled Again". He is easily insulted when people dislike his cooking. Paolo enjoys eating, and bacon bits were found in his blood during a cholesterol test. Cody helped Chef Paolo overcome his eating issues in the episode "Health and Fitness".
- Millicent (played by Kara Taitz) is Maddie's replacement at the hotel's candy counter while she is at camp. Millicent is easily frightened, and has trouble making up her mind. She stated in the episode "Team Tipton" that she has trust, abandonment, and fear issues.
- Grace (played by Naomi Chan) is an emotionless towel maid at the Tipton who appeared in "Ah! Wilderness" while Carey was painting. In "Orchestra" she is given the name Grace and attempts to teach London how to do her job.
[edit] Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow staff and students
- Sister Dominick (played by Marianne Muellerleile) — London and Maddie's teacher who works at Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow as a nun/teacher. She seems to favor London over Maddie, even though Maddie is the harder working student. Sister Dominick is strict and very religious. Her cell phone ringtone is, "Hallelujah Chorus," to which she answers, "Bless you for calling." It has been revealed that she and the other nuns are infatuated with wrestling, and that Sister Dominick herself has a 'mean body slam' in the episode "What The Hey".
- Mary-Margaret (played by Monique Coleman) — Mary-Margaret is Maddie's friend from school. Not much is known about her, except she's smart and only likes London for her money and possessions. When she first met London, she initially seemed to be annoyed, as shown in "A Prom Story", but in "Forever Plaid" and "Not So Suite 16", she appeared to be London's friend. Mary-Margaret is on Maddie's volleyball team along with London and Leslie, as shown in "Volley Dad". She might be back for "Benchwarmers".
- Corrie (played by Vanessa Hudgens) — Corrie is a schoolmate of Maddie, Mary Margaret, and her idol London at Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow. She is very perky, obsessed with London, and not very bright. It is possible she'll be back for "Benchwarmers".
- Leslie (played by Kaycee Stroh) - She is a classmate of London, Maddie, and Mary-Margaret, and on the volleyball team with them. Leslie is bright, bubbly, and eager to see people happy. She will be back for "Benchwarmers".
- Sister Rose - She is the gym teacher and reportedly called maddie's legs 'chicken legs'.
[edit] Friends of Zack and Cody
- Max (played by Alyson Stoner) — One of Zack and Cody's friends, she is a girl who usually wears pigtails and is sometimes mistaken for a boy (a running gag throughout the series). She once had a crush on Zack as shown in the episode "Kisses & Basketball". Max is portrayed as a great dancer (as shown in the episodes "Footloser", "Hotel Hangout, and "Club Twin"). She plays on Zack and Cody's basketball team. Max has appeared in 6 episodes through 3 seasons. It is said Alyson Stoner quit after "Club Twin" but it is also rumered she will appear in the two last episodes---"Benchwarmers" and "Doing time in suite 2330".
- Tapeworm (played by Dennis Bendersky) — One of Zack and Cody's friends, Tapeworm received his nickname when he ate 20 hotdogs in 2 minutes. His real name is unknown. He is strange and also a math genius. In the episode "Band in Boston", he was the drummer for "Rock Squared" . Tapeworm in total has made 4 appearances. After "Kisses and Basketball" he outgrew the role---he literally got too tall to play the part anymore. Consequently, he did not appear in season 2, but might be back for season 3.
- Jessica and Janice (played by Rebecca and Camilla Rosso) — Two English twins. After they visited the Tipton in Boston for a twin convention (as seen in "Twins at the Tipton"), they enrolled in Zack and Cody's school. Cody always ends up getting both girls, whilst Zack gets neither, even though it is generally his idea to go out with them in the first place. All together they have appeared in 6 episodes---and will make a seventh, upcoming apearence in "Benchwarmers".
- Barbara Simcoe Brownstein (played by Sophie Tamiko Oda) — A girl occasionally seen. She entered a science contest in "Rock Star in the House", in which her volcano was dormant, entered a spelling bee in "Neither a Borrower Nor a Speller Bee", where she misspelled fracas and was eliminated, and worked on the school paper in the episode "Ask Zack". In the episode "Club Twin", she becomes addicted to sugar and kisses Cody, and later goes on a date with him in "Miniature Golf" and "A Tale of Two Houses". She is also Jewish, even though she is into Japanese culture it is revealed that her relatives are from Japan. It is proved she is Jewish in "Miniature Golf." She gives Cody an amazing protractor and says with a smile, "I got it for Hannukah."[citation needed]. Barbara is very academically competitive, as shown in "Graduation". She and Cody confessed their love for each other in the episode "Orchestra" and kissed on stage. She has since been in 7 episodes in the whole series. She will presumably make her last appearance in "Benchwarmers".
- Agnes (played by Allie Grant) — Agnes is a girl who goes to school with Zack and Cody and has a crush on both of them (seemingly whichever one suits her at the time). She often says "Agnes Likes." Agnes makes 4 appearances in the whole series. She will make her last appearance in the whole entire series in the last episode---"Benchwarmers".
- Warren (played by Gus Hoffman) — A friend of Zack and Cody from school. Warren attends Camp Knock-a-Number along with Cody and Tapeworm in "Cody Goes to Camp". He is also in the Grizzly Scouts along with Zack, Cody and Bob, with Mr Moseby as their scout leader. Warren appears in 4 episodes in the series. He did not appear in season 3
- Mark (played by Tyler Steelman) — Is a kid that went to summer school with Zack in "Summer of our Discontent". He is shown as nervous, and has problems making up his mind. On a test, he circled A, B, C, and D for each question. In "First Day of High School", Mark announced that he knows tae kwan do.
- Gwen (Played by Selena Gomez) Is a girl Cody likes that Zack has to kiss in a midsummers nightmare. She and Cody eventually break up.
- Vanessa (played by Gage Golightly) is a girl Zack likes that has a crush on Cody.
- Theo Cavanaugh (played by Mike Weinberg) is a snobby rich kid who makes fun of Cody, which is why Zack eventually stops being friends with him. Theo, though he probably isn't into shopping, is male, and much younger then her, is a lot like London Tipton (having the same, selfish, rude personality).
- Trent is a kid on Zack and Cody's basketball team in season 2. He and Bob replaced Max and Tapeworm, who were on the team in season 1.
[edit] Other characters
- Ilsa Shickelgrubermeiger-Von Helsinger Kepelugerhoffer (played by Caroline Rhea) — Ilsa is the mean-spirited, German hotel inspector-turned-manager of the rival hotel, the St. Mark Hotel, across the street.

When Cody mentions that it must take forever to write on her underwear, she reveals she has a stamp.

Left my husband with 28 kids! Right! Right! Right in the middle of the living room floor!" Some parts of her personality seem to be reminiscent of the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz; for instance, in the episode "Bowling" she states, "I'll get you next time, Mr. Moseby, and your little staff too!" She also uses the line, "I'll get you next time and your little dog too," in the episode "Hotel Inspector".

The woman organising a major event at the Tipton saves Henry and Tippy's jobs by saying to Mr Tipton, over the phone, that she would love to entertain her guests with carraige rides. Tippy is shown to have bad gas which is often not him, first it's Zack, when he and Cody rescue Tippy and keep him in their bedroom, to which Cody says "Tippy!", and Zack replies "That wasn't Tippy!", the second time Tippy gets the blame is when the posh woman organising the event does it and again she says "that wasn't Tippy!"
