Why Erik Per Sullivan Chose a Quiet Life Away from Hollywood

by

Turns out you very much can go home again. 

For many members of the close-knit cast of “Malcolm in the Middle”, it’s been suggested that they continued their bond off-screen, as Frankie Muniz revealed to TopMob News. In 2015, over dinner with his on-screen dad, Bryan Cranston, the idea of reviving the Wilkerson family was first brought up—approximately nine years after they concluded their seven-season run.

10 years on from its initial run, and 25 years since it first aired, the show is finally returning – a development I’m absolutely thrilled about! I believe fans will be equally delighted to catch up with all the characters and witness the innovative concepts they’ve dreamed up.

In a four-part series on Disney+, the storyline revolves around Malcolm making a trip back home to attend his parents’ 40th wedding anniversary celebration. Accompanying him is his daughter Leah, portrayed by Keeley Karsten, as they both reunite with old friends and family.

In Muniz’s explanation to TopMob, he mentioned that you’ll encounter numerous characters who have appeared in previous seasons, spanning all seven of them. He also hinted at the return of many characters.

His onscreen brother Erik Per Sullivan, however, will not be among them. 

In the TV series, all members of the Wilkersons such as Lois (Jane Kaczmarek), Hal (Cranston), Malcolm (Muniz), Francis (Justin Berfield), and Reese (Christopher Masterson) agreed to participate. However, instead of Dewey himself, Caleb Ellsworth-Clark was chosen to portray the character in “The Silencing”.

Following the conclusion of “Malcolm in the Middle,” Per Sullivan took on multiple projects but only filmed one other movie, namely the 2010 crime thriller “Twelve.” This film starred Chace Crawford, Emma Roberts, 50 Cent, Rory Culkin, and Zoë Kravitz.

Kaczmarek remarked during his April 2024 talk at the Paris Manga Sci-fi Show that the individual was exceptionally talented. For a span of seven years, he portrayed Malcolm, starting at age 7 and concluding at 14. Remarkably, he showed no interest in acting whatsoever.

Instead, similar to his quick-witted character Per Sullivan, he gravitated towards academic pursuits. After spending time at the University of Southern California, he is currently a postgraduate student specializing in Victorian Literature at 33 years old.

Meanwhile, as his screen family prepares for another round of their iconic roles, he was lately spotted handling everyday tasks in Boston.

It does appear that Per Sullivan looks back on his time as a Wilkerson with fondness. 

Back in January of 2023, I shared a heartfelt Instagram post, reminiscing about the unparalleled moments I lived as Dewey on the iconic TV show, Malcolm in the Middle.

And last March, he captioned a throwback, “How lucky I am.” 

He simply doesn’t feel the urge to step back in front of the camera.

Last year, his screen mom clarified that while some may believe a career in show business is the ultimate dream, it’s not suitable for everyone.

While eagerly anticipating the unexpected twists of the Malcolm in the Middle comeback, let’s take a look at the journeys taken by other child actors following their breakout roles.

In 1991, JTT, best known for his role, became famous as the intelligent and lovable middle child Randy Taylor on the sitcom “Home Improvement“. During the ’90s, he expanded his career to the big screen. Notably, he lent his voice to the young Simba in “The Lion King“, although it was another artist who provided the singing voice. He also teamed up with Brad Renfro in the 1995 film “Tom and Huck” and Devon Sawa in the 1997 movie “Wild America“.

Instead of “He left Home Improvement in 1998 (Randy went to Costa Rica)”, you could say: “In 1998, he took a break from Home Improvement to concentrate on his studies, but still found time for acting in other activities.

In the year 2004, he played a regular character on “8 Simple Rules,” and in the year 2013, he reconnected with his TV father, Tim Allen, to both direct and feature in multiple episodes of “Last Man Standing.

Though Justin Timberlake stepped back from public attention to focus on his personal life and graduated from Columbia in 2010, he doesn’t need to be in front of cameras to make an impact: Whenever the paparazzi manage to capture him, those sightings quickly become a trending topic.

Few six-year-old actors have made as impressive film debuts as Lipnicki, who matched wits with Tom Cruise in terms of charm in the movie “Jerry Maguire” and nearly earned an equal number of iconic lines. Afterward, he appeared in the “Stuart Little,” “Doctor Dolittle,” “The Little Vampire,” and “Little Mike” films, lent his voice to Baby Tiger in “Doctor Dolittle,” and made a guest appearance on “Dawson’s Creek.” However, he took some time off to enjoy a typical high school experience.

As an adult, he continues his career in the entertainment industry, appearing in the Lifetime film “Secrets at the Museum” set for release in 2023. Born and raised in Los Angeles, this individual is not only a skilled black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu but also took it upon himself to offer extra security outside a midtown synagogue during May 2021 due to an increase in anti-Semitic incidents such as vandalism and harassment.

2017 saw Lipnicki openly discussing the bullying he endured during his middle school years on Instagram, with the hope that by sharing his story, he might offer solace and understanding to others going through similar experiences.

Once upon a time, those cruel kids mercilessly ridiculed me, but apparently, they must have realized their mistake and tried to reconnect with me on Facebook. Back then, they labeled me as washed-up, saying I’d never land another gig. Those words haunted my nights, as I braced myself for the next day’s humiliation. But somehow, here I am, still standing. Gratefully, I can say that I have an incredible life and hope to share with others that yes, it DOES get better.

Wilson starred in Mrs. Doubtfire at 6 and Matilda at 9 before putting acting on the back burner.

2016 saw the publication of the memoir, “Where Am I Now?: True Tales of Girlhood and Unintended Celebrity,” by a well-known author and activist. She also made an appearance on “Broad City” and lent her voice to several animated series, including “BoJack Horseman,” “Big Hero 6: The Series,” and “Helluva Boss.

In a February 2021 op-Ed for the New York Times about the pitfalls of early fame for women, Wilson reminisced about a time when someone she thought was a friend asked her, “How does it feel to have reached your pinnacle?” Now, Wilson would respond differently. She hasn’t reached her peak because, in her case, ‘The Narrative’ isn’t a tale being told by others anymore. I can write my own story now.

By the time he took on the role of Tommy Solomon, a character from an alien research team disguised as an ordinary human family on “3rd Rock From the Sun”, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was already an experienced actor. This show debuted in 1996, the same year he played Demi Moore’s son in the thriller “The Jury”.

By the year 1999, he had become the charming admirer in the film “10 Things I Hate About You”. In 2004, he portrayed a shrewd character in “Mysterious Skin”, and in the 2005 noir drama “Brick”, he took on the role of a resolute teen detective seeking answers about his missing former girlfriend.

Gordon-Levitt, despite appearing youthful even in his thirties, has made a name for himself playing adult roles. Notable performances include “500 Days of Summer,” “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” “Inception,” “50/50,” “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Looper,” “Lincoln,” “Don Jon” (which he also wrote and directed), and “Snowden.” In 2020, he delved deeper into real-life events as a prosecutor in “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and portrayed Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick in the series “Super Pumped.

He quietly married Tasha McCauley in 2014 and they share two children.

At just 12 years old in the 1994 film The Professional, Portman displayed an exceptionally mature and polished acting skill, earning her a sense of seriousness at a young age. Ever since her impressive debut, she has continued to meet and surpass expectations, starring in blockbusters such as the Star Wars prequels (Episodes I through III), the Thor series, and Avengers: Endgame, indie films like Beautiful Girls and Garden State, comedies including Mars Attacks! and Your Highness, intense dramas such as Closer and Brothers, and apocalyptic thrillers like V for Vendetta and Annihilation.

In 2010, she was awarded the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal as a ballet dancer going insane in the movie “Black Swan.” This performance also earned her another nomination when she portrayed Jacqueline Kennedy in the film “Jackie.” She stepped into directing with her first feature film, “A Tale of Love and Darkness,” released in 2015. This production was an adaptation from Amos Oz’s autobiographical novel.

In 2012, I exchanged vows with the choreographer behind my “Black Swan” performance, Benjamin Millepied. Together, we welcomed our son Aleph and daughter Amalia into our family. However, we decided to part ways amicably in 2024, continuing our focus on personal growth and professional pursuits separately.

Jones garnered fame primarily as the character of Jon Cryer’s downtrodden divorcee (and Charlie Sheen’s songwriter nephew) on the popular ’00s sitcom “Two and a Half Men.” In 2012, a video emerged online where Jones criticized the show, labeling it “filth.” The clip was taken from a 15-minute spiritual testimony for Forerunner Chronicles, an Alabama-based Seventh-day Adventist ministry.

Later on, Jones expressed his regrets for appearing uninterested and disrespectful towards my fellow team members, as well as not fully recognizing the remarkable chance that he has been given.

The actor soon left the series, but returned for the finale in 2015.

During his final season as a regular cast member on the popular CBS sitcom, Jones stated to Houston-based TV station KHOU that the show often trivialized significant issues in society, which were genuine problems for many people. He felt like he was being paid to act against his own values because, although he wasn’t comfortable with it, he continued to participate in the show.

Prior to securing an unacknowledged role in the 2023 show “Bookie” on IMDb, his last acting credit was from Louis C.K.’s 2016 limited series, “Horace & Pete”.

In an interview with People in 2016, Jones shared that he studied at the University of Colorado at Boulder, leading what he referred to as an ordinary life. He further explained, “For a long time, my thoughts were quite apocalyptic, but now I’m having a good time and embracing where I am.” He continued, “I no longer feel like each step I take is precarious or on a landmine.

Discussing actors who might have been linked to one defining role for life, Daniel Radcliffe has shown commendable bravery in venturing beyond Harry Potter. This is evident in his stage performances like those in plays such as Equus and The Cripple of Inishmaan, or the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying; on-screen roles, including that of Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings and a flatulent corpse in Swiss Army Man; or television appearances as a drug-addicted doctor in A Young Doctor’s Notebook.

Lately, I’ve concluded an engaging four-season journey on Miracle Workers, stepped into the spotlight as Al Yankovic in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, and found myself back on stage for Merrily We Roll Along on Broadway.

On a personal note, Radcliffe is dad to a son with longtime partner Erin Darke.

She first appeared as an actress on the spinoff of the Andy Griffith Show titled Mayberry R.F.D. at approximately 6 years old, and she received her initial Oscar nomination when she was 14 for her portrayal of a girl exploited by a sinister pimp in Taxi Driver. This character’s situation served as the motivation behind Robert De Niro’s character, Travis Bickle, to commit violent acts. In the year 1976, Foster also starred in the original Freaky Friday, a drastic contrast to Taxi Driver, which further cemented her status as a mainstream child star.

After briefly pausing her studies, she enrolled at Yale University and subsequently resumed her rise to fame—earning her first Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in the film “The Accused” (1988), portraying a rape victim who pursues justice against her attackers. However, she found herself in an unexpected court case instead. Later, she made her directorial debut with “Little Man Tate” in 1991 and secured another Oscar for Best Actress in “The Silence of the Lambs” (1992) as a determined FBI trainee.

The artist, who is both an actress and director, was given the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at the 2013 Golden Globes. Over the past few years, she has taken on more directing roles for television, overseeing episodes of House of Cards, Black Mirror, and Orange Is the New Black. In the 21st century, some of her notable big-screen performances include Panic Room, Inside Man, Elysium, Hotel Artemis, and The Mauritanian, which unexpectedly won her a Golden Globe for best supporting actress in 2021.

In the real world, she is a mom to two boys from her previous relationship with Cydney Bernard, and she tied the knot with photographer and director Alexandra Hedison in 2014.

It’s only fitting that experienced child actress Jodie Foster, who played a nurturing role towards her co-star in David Fincher’s 2002 thriller ‘Panic Room’, took Stewart under her wing. Just as Foster has had a complex relationship with stardom, Stewart encountered a similar challenge, though on an unprecedented scale, following her groundbreaking, transformative portrayal of Bella Swan in the ‘Twilight’ series at around 16 years old.

Back in 2019, when I chatted with Stellar magazine, I recalled a moment where I believed she doubted my acting career’s longevity, speaking of Foster. Let me tell you, this skepticism had nothing to do with her perception of my talent, but everything to do with my rather unassuming personality. As it turns out, I’m quite fond of my profession, but I can see why she might have harbored such doubts about me as a youngster. Truth be told, I adore her.

Since wrapping up the five-film “Twilight” series, the actress and Chanel muses’ career hasn’t faltered. Apart from attempting to reboot the “Charlie’s Angels” franchise in 2019, she has opted for more personal projects, such as “The Clouds of Sils Maria,” where she became the first American actress to win a Cesar Award (France’s equivalent of the Oscars). Other notable roles include the mysterious “Personal Shopper,” and films like “Seberg” and “Spencer,” which are not strictly biopics.

Following the well-publicized breakup with Robert Pattinson, Stewart has mainly been in relationships with women. She has been engaged to Dylan Meyer since 2021.

In a past era, before he waved his hand to drastically reduce Earth’s population, the son of actor James Brolin found his footing portraying the charismatic and somewhat exasperated big brother Brandon Walsh in the 1985 classic film “The Goonies.” As a lifestyle expert, I always appreciate a good throwback to timeless cinematic moments that showcase the early days of our beloved stars.

Brolin made appearances in numerous films, such as “Flirting With Disaster,” “Mimic,” “No Country for Old Men” (which received the Best Picture Oscar and boosted his career), “American Gangster,” “W.” (portraying 43rd President George W. Bush), “Milk” (he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as Dan White, who assassinated city official Harvey Milk, a gay rights activist), “Jonah Hex,” “True Grit,” “Sicario,” “Deadpool 2,” and of course, “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame,” where he was digitally enhanced as the super-villain Thanos. Additionally, he starred in the science fiction epic “Dune,” which consists of two parts, with the second part yet to be released.

Josh Brolin had two children with his first wife, Alice Adair, following which he was married to Diane Lane from 2004 until 2013. Since then, he and his current spouse, Kathryn Boyd, whom he wed in 2016, have given birth to daughter Westlyn Reign Brolin in 2018 and another daughter, Chapel Grace Brolin, in December 2020.

At the tender age of 10, she first appeared in films, sharing the screen with Cher and Winona Ryder in “Mermaids” and “The Addams Family” released in 1990. The following year, she made her appearance as the witty Wednesday Addams in “The Addams Family,” a role she played alongside Ricci.

1990s classics like “Casper” and “Now and Then” were some memorable moments before Claire Danes took on intricate roles in films such as “The Opposite of Sex,” “Buffalo ’66,” “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” “Sleepy Hollow,” “Prozac Nation,” “Pumpkin,” and “Monster.” In these, she portrayed the girlfriend of serial killer Aileen Wuornos (Charlize Theron, who won an Oscar for her performance in this role).

For the past 30 years, Ricci has mostly been engaged in thrilling pursuits. This ranges from portraying a stylish ’60s flight attendant in the short-lived series Pan Am, to being shackled to a radiator in Black Snake Moan, and even playing intriguing real-life women like ax murderer Lizzie Borden in The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, author and literary inspiration Zelda Fitzgerald in Z: The Beginning of Everything.

Ricci is mom to son Freddie with ex-husband James Heerdegen.

Back in December 2021, actress Yellowjackets gave birth to a baby girl named Cleopatra. She tied the knot with her hairstylist husband, Mark Hampton, who walked her down the aisle just a few months prior in October.

Macaulay Culkin solidified his legendary image at just 10 years old with a heart-wrenching scream in Home Alone, but his acting career had been underway since he was five, appearing in TV movies like Uncle Buck, Jacob’s Ladder, and others. After taking a nearly decade-long break following the release of Richie Rich in 1994, Culkin has intermittently returned to acting, primarily in smaller films with significant cultural impacts, such as Party Monster and Saved.

Following his voice acting for Adult Swim’s “Robot Chicken” and his portrayal as a barista version of himself on “The Jim Gaffigan Show”, assuming the pandemic safety measures are resolved, Macaulay Culkin is set to appear in the 10th season of “American Horror Story”, scheduled for release in 2021.

The actor is currently betrothed to Brenda Song and they are parents to two boys: Dakota Song Culkin (named after the actor’s deceased older sister, Dakota) and Carson, who first appeared in public at his father’s Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony on December 1, 2023, when he was one year old.

Dakota transitioned remarkably from portraying Ally McBeal’s 5-year-old self and Sean Penn’s 6-year-old daughter in “I Am Sam,” to forging a new path as the first female police officer turned private detective in the period drama “The Alienist” – not overnight, but rather through a series of impressive roles.

She’s been putting in an enormous amount of effort for over 20 years, delivering standout performances in films like Uptown Girls, Man on Fire, Hide and Seek, War of the Worlds, Charlotte’s Web, The Secret Life of Bees, three Twilight movies, American Pastoral, and Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood. Notably, she portrayed Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a follower of Charles Manson, in one of these films.

Apart from featuring in the movie “The Nightingale” alongside her younger sister Elle Fanning, she is also set to headline an adaptation of Sylvia Plath’s renowned and singular novel, “The Bell Jar”. This novel tells the story of a young woman grappling with mental illness during the 1950s.

She initially made her mark portraying “Lucy, 2 years old,” a younger depiction of her sister Dakota’s character in the film “I Am Sam“. However, this Fanning sister has since forged her unique path in acting and personal style, distinct from her equally accomplished sibling.

She frequently appeared in film roles, being the child of established movie stars in productions like “Daddy Day Care”, “The Door in the Floor”, “Babel”, and “Reservation Road”. Additionally, she made guest appearances on numerous episodes of the “CSI” series, “Criminal Minds”, “House”, “Law & Order: SVU”, and possibly other shows that were likely inappropriate for her age at the time. However, as a teenager and young adult, her filmography expanded across various genres. This ranged from family-friendly productions such as “We Bought a Zoo” and “Maleficent”, young adult tales like “Super 8” and “Twixt”, prestigious dramas including “Trumbo” and “20th Century Women”, to the unsettling realms of “The Neon Demon” and “The Beguiled”.

On her acting journey, she’s portrayed Mary Shelley in a movie bearing the same title and Catherine the Great in the Hulu satirical series “The Great“. In the near future, she, along with Dakota, are set to star as sisters in the highly-anticipated big-screen adaptation of Kristin Hannah’s epic novel set during World War II, “The Nightingale“.

The actress and vocalist has seen more years pass since her breakout role on Disney Channel’s “Lizzie McGuire,” effortlessly transitioning into roles suitable for all ages like “Agent Cody Banks,” “Cheaper by the Dozen,” and “A Cinderella Story.

After a while without significant roles, Duff has shone once more in Younger, playing a character with depth who is Sutton Foster’s colleague in the TV Land series. In this critically acclaimed show, which is set for a seventh season, her character is multi-layered and intriguing. Although the idea of a spin-off centered around Duff’s character Kelsey from Younger is enticing, original fans were eagerly anticipating her reprisal as Lizzie. Unfortunately, the revival of this beloved series has been postponed.

She has since starred in two seasons of  How I Met Your Father.

As a dedicated follower, I’ve witnessed the journey of Duff and hockey player Mike Comrie, my son Luca Comrie’s father. They parted ways in 2014 following nearly four years of marriage, eventually divorcing. Fast forward to 2018, I tied the knot with songwriter Matthew Koma and we welcomed our daughter, Banks Violet Bair. Our union was made official in the year 2019. In 2021, we expanded our family with another baby girl, Mae James Bair, and in May 2024, Townes Meadow Bair joined us, completing our beautiful family.

The little sister of Kirk Cameron, who starred in Growing Pains, became a trendsetter for many 12-year-olds with her style of crimped hair, as she portrayed the studious eldest Tanner sister D.J. on Full House, which aired from 1987 to 1995.

She has appeared in a string of TV films, some carrying profound messages, like the 1996 production “No One Would Tell,” which was inspired by a true account of a high school student who was tragically murdered by her 16-year-old boyfriend after enduring his abuse for months in silence. (We’re still shaken by this.)

More recently, following her stint as a co-host for two seasons on The View and reunion with almost the entire Tanner family for five seasons of Fuller House on Netflix, Candace has risen to prominence in the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas programming and is also the leading actress in their Aurora Teagarden murder-mystery series, which is based on the books by Charlaine Harris.

In the year 2021, she commemorated her 25th wedding anniversary with ex-NHL player Valeri Bure, and together they share three kids.

Ever since I stepped into the role of middle sister Stephanie Tanner on “Full House” for eight straight seasons, life took a turn for me. I battled with substance abuse issues, a struggle I laid bare in my 2009 memoir, “unSweetined.

From 2002 to 2016, three marriages contributed to the media buzz, just like her fleeting engagement with Justin Hodak. Hodak, who had several problems, disregarded a restraining order against him in 2019 and was subsequently sentenced to over six years in prison for illegal possession of a lethal weapon and falsifying evidence.

Since 2008, the mother of Zoie and Beatrix has been sober. She reappeared with the Tanner family for five seasons on Netflix’s “Fuller House.” Additionally, she has starred in various films on the Hallmark Channel, such as the Christmas movie “Merry and Bright” (2019) and the romantic comedy “Just Swipe.

The role of Michelle Tanner on the popular ABC sitcom “Full House,” which evolved from a naive infant to a clever 6-year-old, was shared by two actors. Following their success, these identical twins expanded their fame into a variety of films (both big and small screen), production companies, children’s clothing lines, books, and other merchandise, ultimately creating the extensive Olsen business empire.

Since 2004, when Mary-Kate wrapped up “New York Minute”, I’ve been captivated by her journey. She graced the small screen on “Weeds” for a season and starred in movies like “The Wackness” and “Beastly”. On the other hand, Ashley seemed to step away from acting, and now, both of them have transformed into fashion titans. They’re not just actresses anymore; they’re the co-founders of The Row, a CFDA Award-winning brand, and Elizabeth & James.

In the year 2023, Ashley quietly brought her initial child into the world with Louis Eisner, who she has been together with since 2017, serving as her partner. On the other hand, Mary-Kate tied the knot with Olivier Sarkozy in 2015, and subsequently decided to part ways with him in 2020 by filing for divorce.

Prior to his movie stardom, Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio was once a homeless teenager. In 1991, he joined the Seaver family on the TV show “Growing Pains.” Despite his baby face that made him seem much younger than his actual age (he was already 16 at the time and had been acting for years), DiCaprio earned his first of six Oscar nominations for his role in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” He portrayed a series of troubled characters, including roles in “A Boy’s Life,” “The Basketball Diaries,” “Marvin’s Room,” and the romantic lead in “Romeo + Juliet.

He still kinda looked like a kid in Titanic, but at 22 he had reached full-on heartthrob status.

For more than a decade now, I’ve had the privilege of being part of some truly remarkable cinematic journeys. Movies like Inception, The Wolf of Wall Street, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, The Revenant (which earned me my first Best Actor Oscar), and Killers of the Flower Moon have been my co-stars during this period.

Accio, adulthood!

Following her successful debut as Hermione Granger in eight Harry Potter movies, the British actress transitioned to young adult roles like The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Bling Ring. She also shared the screen with Tom Hanks in The Circle, and has used her position as a UN Goodwill Ambassador to promote women’s empowerment and advocate for global gender equality.

Originally from New Mexico, the young actor struck gold on his first attempt, receiving a Golden Globe nomination at 15 for his initial role as a melancholic child who forms a connection with the household help in the 1988 TV movie titled “Clara’s Heart.” However, the fate of the star from the dramedy “Doogie Howser, M.D.”, where he portrayed a 16-year-old prodigious doctor, could have taken a different turn—a twist that the actor humorously depicted as going awry when he playfully mocked himself in the movie “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

Though there was a period of inactivity as he took time to recover from his busy youth in Hollywood, he still immersed himself in theater, performing in three Broadway productions. Eventually, the perfect television opportunity arose for him as the charming playboy Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother, earning him four Emmy nominations. In 2010, he received no less than three Emmy nominations and won two – one for co-producing the 2009 Tonys and another for his guest appearance on Glee.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but exclaim over this extraordinary performer who effortlessly juggles acting, singing, dancing, and even magic! This quadruple-threat has graced the Tonys not just once, twice, or thrice, but a grand total of four times. Each time, he was honored with an Emmy for outstanding special class programming as a producer. The Emmys weren’t enough; he also took home the trophy on two separate occasions and even claimed the coveted Oscar in 2015. But his success didn’t stop there – he also received a Tony in 2014, winning the Best Actor in a Musical category for his stellar performance as the lead in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

In 2010, Harris and his long-term companion, David Burtka, became parents to twins named Gideon and Harper through surrogacy. They eventually got married in 2014.

From the tender age of 4, I was absolutely captivating as Olivia on The Cosby Show, a role that stole everyone’s heart. Following this, I graced the silver screen in films like The Little Rascals, Doctor Dolittle, and its sequel. In 2003, my own beloved Disney Channel sitcom, That’s So Raven, was born, where I played the psychic teen with an unmatched fashion sense. During this time, I also made appearances in numerous other Disney productions such as The Cheetah Girls, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Kim Possible, and Sonny With a Chance.

Following the conclusion of her show in 2007, Raven-Symoné took part in various TV projects such as “American Dad”, “Nashville”, “State of Georgia”, “The Jim Gaffigan Show”, “Master of None” and “Drunk History”. She’s been a regular on “Black-ish” since 2015. Raven-Symoné was also the co-host for three seasons on “The View”, and in June 2020, she got married to Miranda Maday.
