Erik
Per
Sullivan
is
living
his
Ivy
league
dream.

The

Malcolm
in
the
Middle
star
is
currently
studying
to
obtain
his
master’s
degree
at
Harvard
University,
his
TV
dad

Bryan
Cranston
recently
revealed.
While
discussing
the
upcoming
revival
of
the
series,
the
actor—who
plays
family
patriarch
Hal—gave
an
update
on
his
on-screen
son.

“He’s
actually
going
to
Harvard,”
Bryan
told
hosts

David
Spade
and

Dana
Carvey
on
the


Fly
on
the
Wall
podcast
June
11. “He’s
really,
really
smart,
and
he’s
getting
his
master’s
at
Harvard
right
now.”

As
Bryan
explained,
he
shared
the
news
of
the
revival
getting
the
green
light
with
Erik.
However,
the
former
child
actor
politely
declined
the
offer
to
come
back.

“I
talked
to
Erik
and
I
said, ‘Hey,
we
got
the
show!
It’s
going
to
come
back,’”
Bryan
recalled.
“He
goes, ‘Oh,
that’s
fantastic!’
And
I
go, ‘Yeah,
so
we’re
looking
forward
to
having
you
back,
He
goes, ‘Oh,
no,
no,
I
don’t
want
to
do
it.
But
it’s
fantastic.'”

Outside
of
school,
Erik—who
left
Hollywood
in
2010—confirmed
to
Bryan
that
he
isn’t
into
returning
to
television.
