His “dad” Bryan Cranston reveals where Erik Per Sullivan is in his life, at 33 years old.
Erik Per Sullivanunforgettable interpreter of Dewey in Malcolmwill not resume its role in the Mini-Revival mini-series on Disney+.
It is Caleb Ellsworth-Clark who was cast to take up the character alongside Bryan Cranstonand Frankie Muniz,, Jane Kaczmarek,, Christopher Masterson And Justin Berfield.
For fans of the cult series broadcast from 2000 to 2006 on the Fox, the absence ofErik Per Sullivan was predictable. The now 33 -year -old actor has moved away from Hollywood for more than a decade and has not shot since 2010. But according to Bryan Cranstonthat does not mean that it was not asked.
“I spoke to Erik and I said to him: ‘Hey, we have the green light! The series returns.’ He replied: ‘Oh, it’s great!’ So I said to him, ‘Yes, we can’t wait to see you again.’ And there he launched me: ‘Oh no, no, I don’t want to do it. told the wacky patriarch of the sitcom in the podcast Fly on the wallhosted by Dana Carvey and David Spade.
Sullivan has turned his back on the acting profession and now follows a completely different path.
“He is in Harvard, in fact … He is really, really brilliant, and he prepares his master’s degree there. He said to me: ‘Oh my god, no, I haven’t played since I was 9 years old or something like that. It doesn’t interest me anymore.'”
The revival of Malcolm will take the form of an event in four episodes on Disney+, which does not yet have a broadcast date.
