Peyton List's Twin And Younger Brother: Inside The List Family's Full-Time Acting Dynasty
Peyton List, the actress best known for her roles as Emma Ross on Disney Channel’s Jessie and Tory Nichols on Netflix’s Cobra Kai, comes from a family deeply entrenched in the entertainment industry. As of late 2025, her two brothers, Spencer List and Phoenix List, are also full-time actors and models, making the List household a genuine Hollywood dynasty. This unique dynamic, featuring a set of twins and a younger sibling all pursuing the same competitive career, has fascinated fans for years, especially when their paths cross on screen or at major industry events.
The bond between the three siblings is notably strong, despite the competitive nature of their work. While Peyton has achieved the highest profile, her twin brother, Spencer, has built a solid career in dramatic roles, and their younger brother, Phoenix, is also actively working. The family's shared experience, which began with their early modeling days in New York City, forms the bedrock of their individual successes today.

Spencer List: Peyton's Twin Brother and His Recent Career Trajectory
Spencer List is not just Peyton's twin; he is an accomplished actor with a distinct career path that often leans toward more dramatic and genre-specific roles than his sister's initial Disney fame. Born on the same day, the twins share an incredibly close bond, frequently appearing together at red-carpet events and supporting each other’s projects. Their shared birthday, April 6, 1998, is a constant reminder of their parallel journeys in the industry.
A Shift to Horror: Spencer’s 2023 Film Role
While Peyton was dominating streaming with the final seasons of Cobra Kai and the success of her Paramount+ series *School Spirits*, Spencer was making his own splash in the independent film scene. In 2023, Spencer starred in the horror film *She Came from the Woods*. The movie, which debuted to positive reviews in the horror community, saw Spencer take on the role of Jeremy, showcasing his versatility outside of network television dramas.
This role is a significant update for fans tracking his career, marking a clear pivot toward more mature, feature-film projects. His previous major recurring roles included playing Carter in the Freeform drama *The Fosters* and its spin-off series, *Good Trouble*. These roles established Spencer as a serious dramatic actor capable of handling complex character arcs, a contrast to the lighthearted work he did earlier in his career.
The Famous Twin Collaboration on Disney's Bunk'd
One of the most memorable moments for fans of the List siblings was their brief on-screen collaboration. Spencer made a guest appearance alongside Peyton on the Disney Channel series *Bunk'd*, a spin-off of *Jessie*. Spencer played the character Eric in the episode "Luke's Back," which saw him interact with Peyton's character, Emma Ross. This shared experience is a rare treat for celebrity twins, allowing them to work together in a professional setting and cementing their status as a recognizable acting duo from the Disney era.
Phoenix List: The Quiet Force of the List Acting Family
The youngest of the three, Phoenix List, is a talented actor and model who has chosen a less public path compared to his older siblings. Born on September 18, 2004, Phoenix is approximately six years younger than the twins. Despite his lower profile, he is an active part of the List family's professional world and has accumulated his own credits in film and television.
Phoenix’s career began in the same way as his siblings, starting with early modeling work in New York City. While specific recent projects for 2024–2025 are not as widely publicized as Peyton’s work on *Cobra Kai* or Spencer's 2023 film, he continues to be listed as a working actor, often attending family events and premieres with Peyton and Spencer. The List family's commitment to all three children pursuing their passion is a testament to the supportive environment created by their parents, Suzanne and John List.
The List Family's Unique Hollywood Dynamic
The fact that all three List siblings—Peyton, Spencer, and Phoenix—are full-time actors and models is highly unusual in Hollywood. This collective career path has created a unique family dynamic centered around auditions, set life, and managing public visibility. It means they share an intimate understanding of the industry's pressures and triumphs, fostering an incredibly supportive environment.
- Shared Childhood Experience: All three began as child models, navigating the New York City scene before transitioning into full-time acting roles. This shared history provides a foundation of empathy and understanding that many other celebrity siblings might lack.
- Mutual Support: Peyton has often spoken about her closeness with her brothers, citing Spencer in particular as a confidant and a source of advice. For instance, Spencer was one of the first people she consulted about the script for her series *School Spirits*.
- The Twin Advantage: The twin connection between Peyton and Spencer is a notable entity in their public image. They frequently collaborate on social media and attend major premieres together, offering fans a glimpse into their sibling relationship. They were most recently photographed together at a screening for *School Spirits* in March 2023.
The List siblings represent a modern version of the Hollywood acting family. While Peyton List continues to dominate the pop culture landscape with her critically acclaimed roles, Spencer List’s shift into the horror and dramatic genres, and Phoenix List’s quiet, dedicated career path, prove that the List name is synonymous with talent across multiple genres and platforms. Their collective success is a fascinating case study in how a supportive family unit can thrive in the fiercely competitive world of entertainment.
