Frankie Muniz gave honest answer to fan who asked where Dewey actor has been since show

Frankie Muniz gave honest answer to fan who asked where Dewey actor has been since show

People have been wondering what happened to Erik Per Sullivan

Malcolm in the Middle might have wrapped 18 years ago, but many of the cast continued to stay in the spotlight.

However, one star who hasn't been seen much is Erik Per Sullivan, who portrayed the youngest child of the infamous family - Dewey.

Despite being a fan favourite character, the world hasn't heard much from the 31-year-old since the show's finale.

A couple of years ago, Frankie Muniz responded to a question asking just what the hell happened to the actor - and he gave a pretty honest answer.

With so many people still calling out for updates about what he's up to now, Malcolm France decided to ask Muniz if he could provide some insights - and the 38-year-old star was more than happy to oblige.

"To be honest, I don't know what he's up to," he explained. "I hate to say that because I've talked to him a few times since the show ended.

"I've talked to his parents a lot. When I was in the band, we went and played in the city where he lives and his parents came to the show but unfortunately he couldn't make it.

"So I got to talk to them, and he's been all over doing a lot of different things.

"But one thing I know, some actors or some people just got to do it when they were a kid and then they wanted to experience other things and kind of live a more normal life out of the spotlight.

"I think that's what he wanted to do so good for him."

Many fans have pointed out that it seems Sullivan has started an Instagram page, although this is yet to be verified.

In one post on the page, Sullivan shared a photo of Dewey from the series, writing: "Unforgettable moments as dewey in the tv series malcolm in the middle."

So it certainly seems he has fond memories of his time on the show.

In other Malcolm in the Middle news, Muniz has recently confirmed the series will be rebooted if a specific condition is met.

During Mayim Bialik’s podcast Breakdown, Muniz revealed the cast had been sending emails together regarding a reboot, with everybody insisting ‘we gotta do this, we gotta do it’.

When they got in touch with the show’s creator, Linwood Boomer, he apparently said: “I think it would be amazing but I don’t want to do it."

Explaining he didn’t have the time, he said he’d give his blessing if the team got two specific writers on board.

While Muniz didn’t disclose who they are, he explained Bryan Cranston (who played Malcolm’s dad, Hal) is leading it and has been working with the writers ‘for the last two years’.

This has to happen!
