The actor who originally played Dewey, Malcolm's younger brother, has resisted attempts to pull him away from his literature studies at Harvard University. In an interview with The Guardian, Jane Kaczmarek, who played matriarch Lois and 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.'". Per Sullivan is the only cast member from the original ensemble to be recast for the upcoming four-episode revival, officially titled Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair.
