Kimberly "Kim" Rhodes (born June 7, 1969) is an American actress, perhaps best known for her roles as "Cindy Harrison" in two different soap opera series, Another World and As the World Turns, as well as her role as Carey Martin in the Disney Channel sitcom The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, where she played as the mother of the twins, Zack and Cody (Dylan and Cole Sprouse).
Kim was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, the daughter of Jane and Frank Rhodes. She has one sister named Jennifer. Rhodes attended Southern Oregon University and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in acting and graduated summa cum laude. Rhodes graduated from Temple University with her Master of Fine Arts. She is certified in four kinds of stage combat: mêlée (hand-to-hand), quarterstaff, rapier and dagger. Rhodes resides in Los Angeles, California with her husband, actor Travis Hodges. The couple married on July 11, 2006, and gave birth to a baby girl, Tabitha Jane in May 2008. She enjoys singing, dancing, reading, and playing pool. Rhodes' apparent pregnancy in recent episodes of "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" is likely the reason she will not be starring on the spin-off "Suite Life on Deck."
In 1998 while performing in Another World, Rhodes was nominated, along with Mark Pinter, for a Soap Opera Digest award as "Favorite New Couple". For Rhodes's first Another World fan club luncheon, she rewrote the lyrics for "All For the Best" from Godspell. Prior to her Disney Channel début, she had previously acted with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for one season, portraying the roles of "Daphne Stillington" in Noel Coward's Present Laughter and "Helena" in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
