Atticus Shaffer: Where Is Brock From The Middle Now?

by

For a while now, it’s been since sitcom “The Middle” last appeared on our TVs, but it still resonates due to its relatable plotlines and authentic characters. Airing on ABC for nine seasons, this show centers around the Heck family, a charmingly ordinary middle-class household from the Midwest. The narrative primarily revolves around Frankie Heck, portrayed by Patricia Heaton of “Everybody Loves Raymond” fame, who navigates her family through life’s highs and lows.

Though Frankie Heck is the main character in “The Middle”, the show boasts a rich cast of compelling supporting characters. Among them, Brick, the peculiar Heck family member, truly shines. With his unusual bond with his backpack, Brick is an eccentric yet endearing figure, excellently portrayed by Atticus Shaffer at just ten years old when he got the part. However, since “The Middle” has concluded its run, one may wonder what has become of Atticus Shaffer?

Ranch)” features Atticus discussing a hidden detail in The Middle that dedicated fans might have overlooked. In this particular video, Atticus mentioned:

The Prop and Set Decoration teams were quite engaging and creative individuals, always bringing something new to the table. A noteworthy habit of theirs was the inclusion of stone geese on the Heck front porch, which you may have noticed. These geese were often a goose and its gosling. During seasons or holiday changes within the show, they would even modify the outfits of these geese by altering their cement attire accordingly.
