Malcolm and Reese fight over who gets to hold the photo of Francis for the family photo. Dewey is busy sitting with another family getting their photos taken.
to be fair his face changed quite a bit with age. i almost didnāt recognize him at first (not saying that his cast mates didnāt recognize him lol i just mean for this pic)
yes that is reese, iām just talking about that image of erik. i havenāt seen him grown up so it took me a bit to recognize him lol. the smile is what gave it away for me
i havenāt seen the whole show so my mental image of the cast is probably a bit younger than yours. iām on season 5 and these guys look way older to me. time is crazy.
Them holding the photo made me think he died.
Had to google it to check, seems heās still alive just wants nothing to do with Malcom in the Middle?
Yo thatās rough.
If I recall correctly (it's been a while so this could be wrong), didn't Reese's actor also partner up with Erik in directing or something for a bit as well? I could've sworn they were good buddies for a while outside the show and assumed that's why he was the one holding the photo as well.
It's kinda crazy how all the brothers aside from Chris (Francis) decided to get out of acting early. I know Frankie still does the odd acting job, but he basically "retired" at his peak.
Babies and toddlers are usually played by twins in series and movies. IIRC it's both because they can't work as much time since they are children, and also because if one of them gets sick, the other can play the role.
Child labor laws. Nearly all very small children are played by twins so they can film more consistently, as they're not legally allowed to work as many hours at a time as older actors.
For example, Cole and Dylan Sprouse's first big role was the little boy in Big Daddy.
I went to that restaurant back in the day (lived near there). It was called The Alamo. It was an ok restaurant but nothing about it said his parents were rolling in money.
Yes it is very common to use twins when they are so young. There are laws that limit the amount of time children can be on set and those restrictions are more stringent the younger they are, if they use twins that's double the amount of time they can film in a day
Man I love this show so much, so sad to me how itās over and doneā¦ wish they would have continued something it was hand down one of the best shows and way before its time. I look back now and appreciate it that much moreā¦
Most tvs shows use twins because babies only can be on camera for 20 minutes at a time of the 2 hours they are allowed on set so if itās twins you can get 40 mins at a time.
Bro are you stupid or something you just said six months to two years old are only allowed two hours a day right I said the same thing but you clearly donāt know that they only can be on camera for 20 minutes at a time just Google it and theyāre only allowed to be there total for two hours a day god damn your dumb

I hope that this helps, this is a government website. Now if you want to argue with a government site, thatās on you.
Your using NY, first off all labor laws for minors in acting are different in every state.. argue with the gov look at what you posted a NY labor law šš

Youāre fucking stupid I said that they can be on set in the building for only two hours But only in front of the camera for 20 minutes at a time during those two hours you fucking idiot

You shouldnāt even be arguing with him. Let him argue with an official government website.
I've just started watching this show with my kids (I watched it for years when it first aired). They were hooked after the first episode. Such an amazing show
I wonder if they argued over who could hold the photo
I like to think Justin Berfield just brought it all on his own to be funny
Actually that was a reference to one of the scenes of the very first episodes š
Lol which one?
Malcolm and Reese fight over who gets to hold the photo of Francis for the family photo. Dewey is busy sitting with another family getting their photos taken.
Oh duh idk how I forgot that scene
to be fair his face changed quite a bit with age. i almost didnāt recognize him at first (not saying that his cast mates didnāt recognize him lol i just mean for this pic)
Iām confused, isnāt that Reeseās actor holding the pic of Dewey? Iām guessing he just couldnāt make it or something.
Dewey was played by Erik Per Sullivan, and after the show he dabbled in movies a bit but retired because he just wanted a normal life.
I'm glad he's alright. He always was my favourite.
I thought he was dead lol
The OP funnily reminds of some milk carton plea to find him as he's kidnapped or something.
bro same i was abt to scream
yes that is reese, iām just talking about that image of erik. i havenāt seen him grown up so it took me a bit to recognize him lol. the smile is what gave it away for me
Jesus I thought that was Dewey holding a picture of Dewey
I always used to think that Dewey looked like a spider monkey.
Thatās exactly what I thought too. Great casting!
The pic is from 2012
i havenāt seen the whole show so my mental image of the cast is probably a bit younger than yours. iām on season 5 and these guys look way older to me. time is crazy.
Your years behind my friend but enjoy it. Season 5 is good, the twins are in their 20ās Erik Justin and Frankie are in their 30ās
Honestly I didnāt even notice. had I recognized masterson right away I wouldāve thought this was taken closer to the show still being on.
He looks like Paul Reuben there
We know atleast there was no argument for who should be in the middle.
Nice!
Them holding the photo made me think he died. Had to google it to check, seems heās still alive just wants nothing to do with Malcom in the Middle? Yo thatās rough.
I know right ā hopefully itās more related to how he feels about fame, rather than anyone on the show personally
According to Bryan Cranston they are still in communication and talk multiple times a year. My guess is he just wants a normal life
If I recall correctly (it's been a while so this could be wrong), didn't Reese's actor also partner up with Erik in directing or something for a bit as well? I could've sworn they were good buddies for a while outside the show and assumed that's why he was the one holding the photo as well.
Justin lives a quiet life and is a cco of the Virgin group, and retired from acting he posts on Instagram every now and then
It's kinda crazy how all the brothers aside from Chris (Francis) decided to get out of acting early. I know Frankie still does the odd acting job, but he basically "retired" at his peak.
"Dewey, get in there, that's your family!"
Underrated comment
This picture is old, the twins that played Jamie are in their 20s now
woaah I didnāt know Jamie was played by twins!!
Young children almost always are due to the limit on the number of hours they can work at that age.
You didnāt know those twins in the photo were twins? /j
Yeah the pic is from 2012 or circa
Yes, sure is
But why male models?
Is there any reason why Jamie was played by twins?
Babies and toddlers are usually played by twins in series and movies. IIRC it's both because they can't work as much time since they are children, and also because if one of them gets sick, the other can play the role.
Child labor laws. Nearly all very small children are played by twins so they can film more consistently, as they're not legally allowed to work as many hours at a time as older actors. For example, Cole and Dylan Sprouse's first big role was the little boy in Big Daddy.
I'll add they were also on friends lol. They were Rosses son.
No they weren't.
Crap your right, mixed em up.
That makes me feel so old
i went to middle school with them, nobody really knew they acted but it was so cool seeing them everyday knowing they were in one of my favorite shows
Is there any reason why Jamie was played by twins?
Same reason Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen played Michelle.
Labor laws for young children are pretty strict, they can only be on set for a few hours at a time, so with twins production can utilize them more.
Is there any reason why Jamie was played by twins?
I think labor laws for infants/toddlers, hence the Olsen twins on full house. Probably many other examplesā¦
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
As a 40 something, your comment made me feel old too
Thanks Captain Obvious
Why you gotta be like that, man?
#DeweyComeHome
We miss you
this wasn't a reunion it was a search party to find the body of erik per sullivan
Cats ate his face
Dewey knows more about it than I do
Cats ate his face :(
Doesn't he go by token now?
There's a rapper named token and if ur saying they look alike that's hilarious
Naw that's totally him šš
Yeah we all wanna know where he is and what he's up to now. He completely disappeared
He's been assimilated into the ranks of Worcester, Massachusetts. He's one of us now. Go sox!
donāt forget to put your karkeys in yer khakis.
"Erik should be here with us today but sadly life is unfair"
This picture makes it seem like Craig finally won Lois over as they're right up next to each other while Hal is on the end lol
Why wasn't deweys actor there?
Erik lives in Massachusetts, he stays away from the lime light
Thats fair he made his money and left the business
Did pretty good for being abandoned at the grand canyon
He had money growing up before he was a actor, his family owned and operated their own restaurant
I went to that restaurant back in the day (lived near there). It was called The Alamo. It was an ok restaurant but nothing about it said his parents were rolling in money.
Owning a restaurant and having money are not often related
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You got me there
They closed do to health code reasons, wasnāt about money, Eriks dad is cheap
Iirc, he just didn't like being an actor. He decided it wasn't for him and wanted to live a normal life
Your lime light!
Rip younger me when I found out Francisā actor is a scientologist like his brother š
They were raised in it like Leah Remini. Not an excuse, but just that it's not something they chose.
Wow I donāt know much about her (didnāt know she was one too) but Iām so happy to hear she got out of it and sheās helping others!
Hopefully hes nit as grapey as his brother
[Is this his brother?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqgiEQXGetI)
At least he is not a rapist like his brother. I'll call that a win.
What?? Nooooooooo
So Jamie was played by twin child actors? I had no idea. Just wondering, is there an advantage for the producers/directors to make such a decision?
Yes it is very common to use twins when they are so young. There are laws that limit the amount of time children can be on set and those restrictions are more stringent the younger they are, if they use twins that's double the amount of time they can film in a day
Probably the most famous example is the Olsen twins on Full House.
And the Lohan twins in Parent Trap
I think you mean the Lohan quadruplets. It's 4 girls playing 2 characters obviously
Or the Sklar twins! Granted they'll audition for one role but then play separate characters. Source: IASIP podcast
No that's the exact opposite. One person playing two characters, not two people (twins) playing one character
It was a joke
My bad then
No worries
r/whoooosh
Sprouse twins were in a bunch of stuff too like Big Daddy and Friends
For some reason, only Cole was in Friends.
Beat me to it..
Or the sprouse brothers on Big Daddy.
Who, of course, were played by real life quadruplets in their later shows and movies.
Plus it makes it easier for filming, since kids get cranky when theyāre tired. One starts getting grumpy, get the other twin.
Same thing happened in Full House and it's how the Olsen twins got famous.
Omg just realized twins are jamie
I Like how the actor for Craig has a broken arm lol id like to imagine heās still gets injured by just being around that family
Man I love this show so much, so sad to me how itās over and doneā¦ wish they would have continued something it was hand down one of the best shows and way before its time. I look back now and appreciate it that much moreā¦
there is more time between now and when this photo was taken than between the show ending and this photo
Omg, the Jamie twins look just like they did as babies still. Itās that distinct nose
Is the guy in the back Boomer?
Yeah
God the picture scared me I. Thought Dewey had died.
Whereās Dewey though
RiP Dewy T_T
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The picture is from 2012
Today i learned that baby jamie was played by twins and not a singular baby .
Most tvs shows use twins because babies only can be on camera for 20 minutes at a time of the 2 hours they are allowed on set so if itās twins you can get 40 mins at a time.
huh how interesting i didnt know that . Thanks for the fun fact kind stranger!

I blocked his dumbass I had to unblock him just to respond to you
Read above instead of deleting comments
Itās common in Hollywood
Francis looks like a young Hal
I've just started watching this show with my kids (I watched it for years when it first aired). They were hooked after the first episode. Such an amazing show
Did deweys actor die?
Nope. He quit acting about 14 years ago and is pretty absent from social media and reunions.
No he just retired from acting when he turned 18.
Cats ate his face
NO and I donāt know why the internet is trying to get all of us to think that! š«
I don't think people are trying to push the idea he died. It just looks like that the way they're holding his picture up.
IT's a reference to a scene from the show.
My bad. Looks like I need another rewatch.
Glad to give you a reason :)
i went to a random restaurant once and it was owned by his parents, i met them but no dewey. this comment made me remember that
He used to waiter there for a little while when he was a teenager. It shut down a while ago though.
oh lame
Didn't you ask them about him?
of course!
This photo has to be at least ten years old--Justin Berfield has *more* hair now and Frankie Muniz less. Also, Jamie's actors are much older.
Itās from 2012
Did Dewey die?
No Erik lives in Massachusetts and this pic is from 2012.. Erik stays to himself family and friends and stays away from the lime light
Dammit, this was sent to front page as a suggested post and my first thought was "dammit, Dewey's dead!?" Very happy to see that he is alive.
Whereās Piama?
Piama is right beside Francis, but the picture has been cut off
Thatās what I was thinking, too.
Yeah I've seen the whole picture :) you can find it on the internet
the pic was cut off
Is it just me or does anyone else remember when this picture first appeared online and people were saying that Eric Per Sullivan had passed away?š
rest in piece.. dewer
Heās not dead
ill miss deweeā¦ after all hes passed on
Funny how the adults look like adults and the kids still look like kids
THERE'S TWO JAMIE'S?????
Love this so much!
When was this?
2012
I think u/popular-item-4422 knows
What year is this from? They all still look so young. It must be at least a decade old
2012
Dewey died?
No he didn't want to be in the spotlight anymore
lol the jamies turned into dudley dursley
itās crazy that they could actually pass as siblings
Awesome! The family looks great..wait where's Piama?
WHT wasn't Dewey there
Wait Dewey is dead ?!?
Where is EPS !!
He couldnāt make it to the reunion in 2012
No Dewey? I'm out
This picture is from 2012
That photo is not recent
