Early life and education

Sullivan was raised in Brownwood alongside his twin brother Sawyer Storm Sweeten and sisters Madylin and Maysa Sweeten, by their parents Elizabeth Anne Millsap and Timothy Lynn Sweeten; Elizabeth and Timothy divorced before Sullivan turned 10, and their mother remarried and gave birth to his four half-siblings.

Sullivan was only a year old when he, Sawyer and Madylin were all cast to appear in “Everybody Loves Raymond”, and he thus grew up acting. He was five when he played Milton in the episode “All About Yvette” of the family comedy series “Even Stevens”, and seven when cast to play Young Frank in the 2002 comedy movie “Frank, McKlusky, C. I.”, marking his debut film appearance.

Sullivan left the film industry in 2005, after having finished shooting for “Everybody Loves Raymond”, to focus on his studies. He attended a local high school in Brownwood and was mostly into sports during his four years there; Sullivan matriculated in 2013 and as he hasn’t spoken of his further education, it’s believed that he didn’t attend college.

Other credits

Sullivan was featured in the 2004 documentary movie “TV Guide Close Up: From Comedy Club to Primetime”, the 2014 documentary series “Pioneers of Television” and the 2015 documentary series “Inside Edition”.

I.”, along with Sullivan.

Sawyer shot himself in the head on 23 April 2015, less than a month before his and Sullivan’s 20th birthday; it remains unknown what led Sawyer to commit suicide, while it’s believed that it was his poor financial situation that had contributed to it.

Love life and relationships

Sullivan’s been staying away from the media’s attention since 2005, and hasn’t mentioned any women (or men) whom he’s perhaps dated; he isn’t active on Instagram, making it even harder to find out if the former popular actor’s taken today.

Some of Sullivan’s fans have claimed on the internet that he has a wife, and that the two have been spotted spending time together in Brownwood on multiple occasions, however, Sullivan’s failed to address these rumors.
