You'll Barely Recognize Stevie From Malcolm In The Middle Today - Looper

After Malcolm in the Middle, Traylor didn't find much success in the acting industry. He had a couple supporting roles in smaller films, like 2011's Dance Fu, a comedy directed by Cedric the Entertainer. The film is about a young performer, played by Cedric the Entertainer, who must avenge the death of his uncle. It may not sound like a comedy based on that premise, but it is. In the film, Traylor played a character named Lil Ryat.

Traylor also acted in the 2012 film This Bitter Earth, playing the character Tyrone MC. Also starring Billy Dee Williams, Nichelle Nichols, and Sahara Ware, the film focuses on Ware's character T'neesha Coleman, a teenager whose life is completely changed when her father is shot and killed. Those around T'neesha encourage her to pursue the one thing she loves most — playing the piano — and win a very important talent competition that could set her up for a successful future.

Traylor's roles in these films are relatively minor. After 2012, Traylor took a break from acting to focus on other interests and spend time with his family.
