Why Malcolm in the Middle Recast Dewey for its Hulu Revival
"Sullivan retired from acting when he was 18. Kaczmarek stated that while the production offered him buckets of money to come back, Sullivan just said, 'No thank you.'"
"Kaczmarek assured the public that Sullivan is doing 'very, very well' and is attending a prestigious American university, where he loves studying Charles Dickens and is doing graduate work in Victorian literature."
"Kaczmarek described Sullivan as 'very grateful' for portraying Dewey, highlighting the character's beloved nature and the magic he brought to the role."
Hulu has recast the role of Dewey for the revival of Malcolm In the Middle, with Caleb Ellsworth-Clark taking over from Erik Per Sullivan. Sullivan, who played Dewey from 2000 to 2006, retired from acting at 18 and declined offers to return. Jane Kaczmarek confirmed that Sullivan is doing well, attending a prestigious university and studying Victorian literature. Despite his absence from the revival, Kaczmarek noted Sullivan's gratitude for his role and the affection fans have for Dewey.
