“Malcolm in the Middle” star Justin Berfield, who plays Malcolm’s older brother Reese, told the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast that he feels bad that his former co-star, Erik Per Sullivan, was thrust back into the public eye even though he declined to return as Dewey in the recent series revival.

When asked if Sullivan regretted his decision not to appear in “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair,” Berfield said, “No. I know they asked him a whole bunch. They asked him like four or five times, and every time he was like, ‘No.’”
