From Dewey to Degree: Erik Per Sullivan Trades Hollywood for Harvard

Erik Per Sullivan, famously known as Dewey from“Malcolm In The Middle,”is making headlines again, but this time, it’s not for a TV comeback. With the reboot of the beloved series around the corner, viewers were surprised to see that Erik won’t be reprising his role. Instead, he’s embraced a life of simplicity and academia in Boston, spotted shopping for groceries after leaving the Hollywood scene nearly two decades ago.

What’s more intriguing is his decision to reject the allure of fame and significant offers to star in the reboot. Instead, Erik is focusing on his studies, reportedly pursuing a master’s degree in Victorian literature at Harvard. The shift in priorities is a remarkable one, showcasing that not all child stars are chasing the limelight into adulthood. So, while fans reminisce about the show’s hilarity, we can’t help but wonder: is the new, bookish Dewey the coolest Dewey yet?
