Fans of the hit sitcom “Malcolm in the Middle” were in for a treat as the beloved character Dewey, played by Erik Per Sullivan, was spotted in Boston for the first time in decades. The 33-year-old actor had disappeared from Hollywood in 2010 to focus on his education, but is now making a return to the small screen in the upcoming four-episode revival of the show, set to air on Disney+.
Erik Per Sullivan stole the show in his role as Dewey, the mischievous and lovable youngest son of the Wilkerson family. His comedic timing and endearing portrayal of the character endeared him to fans of the series, making him a fan-favorite throughout the show’s run.
In the years since leaving Hollywood, Sullivan has kept a relatively low profile, staying out of the public eye and focusing on his education. However, news of his return to the screen has sparked excitement among fans, who are eager to see him reprise his iconic role in the upcoming revival.
Filming for the four-episode revival is set to begin in April, and fans can’t wait to see what mischief Dewey and the rest of the Wilkerson family get into this time around. With Sullivan’s return to the spotlight, it’s sure to be a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of “Malcolm in the Middle.”

I was 11 years old back in 2000.
Feels like I was watching Malcolm In The Middle like yesterday.
Wonder what ever happened to the kid in the wheelchair who breathed heavy.
Funny that he sorta looks like dad, Hal in that sweater fit lol
Where the hoes
No he won't reappear.
These journalists act like this guy has been in the witness protection program or something. He’s not been in hiding. He’s just been out of the public eye. I saw him, when he was a teenager, years ago at his family‘s restaurant in Milford, Massachusetts. His family used to have a Mexican restaurant called The Alamo. Ironically, neither his father nor his mother are Mexican, but they actually had some really good food. These journalists act like the guy was a hermit for the better part of two decades
This just goes to show you that … Tmz will sit outside your house for years just for one picture…. Ridiculous get a life gang
Life goes on. The young become older. Babies are born. & continue the cycle
he seem to have something tragic goin on in his career life that ther keeping quiet
Showbiz is artificial, fake, empty and cold. Why do you think he left?
Why not just leave him alone, as that is clearly why he wants, you fucking vultures
Someone convince this man to come back for the reunion.
HE TURNED OUT A HANDSOME ADULT MAN. GOD BLESS HIM.
Good for him, and he still gets residuals, so every time we watch it, he gets a quarter in the tip jar. 😊
I still remember the episode where he got a tattoo.
He ended up living out his life in a Dewey way lol
No, this is just the first time yous have been interested in him, leave him
He was such a bright kid
Leave him alone. You’re not the boss of him and you’re not so big.
He looks great 👍
Can we actually start respecting humans AS humans? Wow, he was 'caughr' getting groceries! Who knew EX celebrities eat food just like us! 🙄
The show is coming back so somebody stalked him to get a pic
Thought paparazzi was looked down upon in America
"FREE FROSTY! FREE FROSTY! FREE FROSTY!"
He just wants to be a private citizen. Please leave him be.
He hasn't aged a day!😂
Dewey.
Although I am very disappointed that Dewey won't be returning to the MITM reunion, I am so happy to see that photo of him just out there thriving and smiling. I hope he's happy with his life.
CELEBRITY OBSESSION IS WEIRD. ET SUCKS
Thats so creepy.
Wow!! His replacement really is so spot on. That is wild! But also, let's respect his privacy.
He looks good, leave him alone.
