Actor who played Dewey in Malcolm In The Middle has Instagram account showing his adult life

It's pretty much the only window people have into his life now

While plenty of the stars of Malcolm In The Middle went on to do other things, most notably Bryan Cranston who ended up etching the character of Walter White into TV history, one really dropped off the map.

Erik Per Sullivan played Dewey in the show but hasn't appeared in anything since 2010 and seems to prefer it that way.

Lots of people ask the rest of the cast 'where's Dewey' and according to Frankie Muniz he doesn't really know, but guessed that he didn't want to spend his whole life acting and reckons 'good for him'.

Malcolm In The Middle wrapped when Sullivan was 14 and he's 32 now so enjoy feeling old.

While some members of the cast have mentioned him, it seems like he prefers to keep himself to himself mostly, with his only means of communication with the world at large being a seldom used Instagram account.

He doesn't post much at all but wherever he is here's hoping he's doing alright.

The 32-year-old only has a dozen posts on his profile, with a mixture of pictures taken from his TV roles to more personal snaps.

Describing himself as a 'movie and tv actor' in the bio, the account also includes his birthday - July 1991 - and a shout out to Massachusetts, where Sullivan was born.

The first post on the account dates back to April 2020, which makes us wonder if the former sitcom star joined the platform to pass the time during the worldwide coronavirus lockdowns.

In one post, Sullivan urges his followers - which as of October 2023 now stands at over 63,000 - to stay home amid the pandemic.

"Stay Home Save Lives," he said.

He does seem to have fond memories of his time on the show.

Two pictures appear to be fan art of his most well known character, Dewey. "Thank you," he simply said in the caption for one post, while in response to another drawn tribute from a fan, he said: "Thanks for this beautiful drawing."

In May 2020 he shared a selfie by the pool from holiday trip ‘a few years ago’.

Our Dewey also won the James Joyce Award by Literary and Historical Society.

"The unforgettable memories," he reflected in the caption.

And when he’s not winning literary awards, Sullivan is also a keen partier with one photo showing the Malcolm in the Middle star holding a green concoction with an eye-catching red straw while grinning at the camera.

The Malcolm In The Middle star hasn't shared much of his personal life on social media.

Seemingly unable to remember the exact details of said party other than its location in Miami Beach, Florida, he captioned the innocent post: “Some years party,” with an island emoji.

He also uploaded a picture of a picture of a portrait with his two brothers who are not Malcolm, Reece (Justin Berfield), Francis (Christopher Masterson) or the forgotten brother they added in season four nobody cares about.

Unfortunately for us, Sullivan hasn't posted anything since the start of the year where he added a picture of himself from Malcolm In The Middle.

Maybe next year he'll post again.
