> In an interview with The Guardian, star Jane Kaczmarek, who played Per Sullivan’s on-screen mother, said the retired actor is “studying Dickens and is an incredible student. They offered him buckets of money to come back, and he just said, ‘No thank you.’”
Thats the most Dewey thing he could’ve done
Good for him, man. Total giga chad move.
I’m happy for him that he is doing what he wants to do, but sad because I always thought Dewey was the best part of the show.
i love the episode with him and Bea Arthur
Based on all the trailers I’ve seen, their version of „Dewey“ only seems to be included in Zoom calls, so I have a feeling they greatly reduced his character as a consequence of Per Sullivan not returning.
“Multi-millionaire chooses not to work”
Breathtaking journalism here
That’s fair.
When you have the main Star stating he does not even remember filming the show originally, for those that do, perhaps it’s not worth it for them.
He’s studying Victorian literature and pursuing a master’s degree at Harvard University. Good for him!
Sounds like a questionable choice.
But it’s his choice.
Assuming he saved and invested his money from his original run as a child actor, he already has enough to retire and can do whatever he wants in life.
I did one commercial and noped out of acting as a kid, don’t blame him one bit the public are freaks.
In his defense it was money day the day before they asked
They did an amazing job casting his replacement, 100% looks like a grown up Dewey
I’d love for part of the plot of the show to be that Dewey hires a look alike to pose as him for family meetings-and none of his family notices it’s not him.
Unrelated
Just introduced my 13 year old son to Malcom in the middle curious if it’d be too dated for him while explaining
„being from a chaotic household with 6 kids I related a lot to Malcom in the middle or Rosanne etc.“
I’ve had to rip him away from it several times since. He’s been binge watching any free time he has.
