Caleb Ellsworth-Clark knew stepping into the role of Dewey in the “Malcolm in the Middle” revival came with pressure — especially for a character so closely associated with Erik Per Sullivan.

In the Hulu revival, “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair,” Ellsworth-Clark joins a returning ensemble that includes Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek, alongside Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield. But taking on Dewey — one of the original series’ most beloved characters — came with a distinct sense of responsibility.
