Post-Malcolm in the Middle, Erik Per Sullivan would go on to play various roles such as The Little Boy in the short Once Not Far From Home about two kids who discover an old house that holds secrets to their future. The short received positive reviews by showing that true love can last forever. He also played the titular role in 2006's Mo, a comedy-drama about a boy named Mo who has a genetic mutation called Marfan syndrome. Mo must come to terms with his differences with his parent's support.

Since then, Sullivan has only appeared in one other project, a 2010 film called Twelve about drugs, a wealthy group of young kids, and murder. Sullivan plays the small role of Timmy. Since then, it looks like he's retired from acting and begun to move in a different direction (per Legit).

As for Sullivan's personal life, it looks like there is an Instagram account that he might personally post on, but it's unclear. Beyond that, there is little known about what he's been up to since his acclaimed role as Dewey in Malcolm, which shot him to stardom for his breakout performance.
