As a child, he starred in a cult comedy. We know what’s up with Erik Per Sullivan

Although the role of Dewey Wilkerson in “Malcolm in the Middle” provided him with a gateway to the world of American show business, after the series was finished, Erik Per Sullivan decided to give up working in front of the camera. Jane Kaczmarek, who played Lois Wilkerson, told about the fate of the young actor in an interview.

“Malcolm in the Middle” won the hearts of American viewers in the early 2000s. Created by Linwood Boomer for FOX, the sitcom ran for 7 seasons, the last of which aired in 2006.

The series told the story of the adventures of the title character from a dysfunctional, large family. The role of Malcolm’s younger brother was played by Erik Per Sullivan. The actor appeared in the series until its end, and then disappeared from the screen completely. Frankie Muniz, when asked about the fate of his co-star, stated that he did not know what happened to his life after leaving show business. His series mother Jane Kaczmarek spoke about the actor in the Malcolm France program. “He, well… He feels good, he feels very, very good… He played in “Malcolm” for seven years – he started when he was seven, he finished when he was fourteen. He was not interested in acting at all,” began the actress who played Lois Wilkerson.

What is Erik Per Sullivan from Malcolm in the Middle doing today?

It turns out that after the series was finished, the young actor decided to fully focus on his education. Today, he studies at one of the best American universities. “He studies at a very prestigious American university. He asked us all to keep quiet about it. He loves Charles Dickens. He’s doing his master’s thesis on Victorian literature. I admire him because a lot of people think that being in show business is the best thing in the world, but it’s not for everyone,” Kaczmarek added.
