Frankie Muniz’s career in Hollywood has been quite the wild ride literally!
“I only stopped because I got badly hurt in an accident in 2009,” he revealed.
“I broke my back, had pins in my hand, broken ribs, a broken ankle.
It took me a long time to heal.”
Now he’s back, trying to race in the Daytona 500 within the next few years.
But how did he get here?
And what about those memory-loss issues?
Sometimes, those interests bring him back into the spotlight for a moment.
Other times, they take him to Scottsdale, Arizona.
In January of that year, “Malcolm in the Middle” premiered on Fox.
However, he decided to go anyway.
“Lucky we did go, because it ended up being my lucky forever after.”
A few months later, “My Dog Skip” hit theaters.
“Most of the cast and crew were told not to get near them.”
Thanks to “My Dog Skip” and “Malcolm in the Middle,” Frankie Muniz had arrived.
In 2002, he starred in “Big Fat Liar” opposite fellow teen television royaltyAmanda Bynes.
The following year paired Muniz with another teenage TV star, Hilary Duff.
He toldHollywood.comthat working with Duff was easy.
They were friends before the film.
He explained, “She was one of the first people I met when I moved out to California.
We kinda went through the trenches together.”
Muniz reportedly commanded quite the payday for “Agent Cody Banks.”
According to"48 Hours,“his paycheck was roughly $2 million.
Still, the actor had no patience for the generation that presumably made him a star.
He proclaimed, “I hate teenagers, you know what I mean.
I think they are the most annoying people on the planet.”
“You learn so much about yourself and who you want to be.
Getting to do that on a show with Jane, Bryan, and everyone was an amazing experience.”
To achieve his dream, Muniz signed with Eric Jensen’s Jensen MotorSport.
News that his racing prospects would start in the Formula BMW series.
“He’s got the basic ingredients: He’s got intelligence and courage,” Jensen said.
Between 2012 and 2014, Muniz was the drummer in an indie rock band called Kingsfoil.
“I flew in and auditioned.
I was a little scared, but did it, and here I am.”
Muniz’s time in Kingsfoil was ultimately short-lived.
In February 2014, he announced onFacebookthat he was parting ways with his bandmates due to scheduling conflicts.
Just promise me you won’t do ‘Dancing with the Stars’” (viaYouTube).
Muniz didn’t take his advice, and he told O’Brien that he’s glad he didn’t.
“I honestly love it,” he said.
“I’m mad I didn’t do it sooner.”
Muniz’s time on the show went well.
However, it wasn’t his tango that made headlines; it was something he revealed during an interview.
He explained, “I’ve gotten to do really anything I’ve wanted to do.
But the truth is, I don’t really remember much of that.”
Going to the Emmys, I don’t remember that.
I know I went."
The revelation prompted an outpouring of support on Twitter.
“That hurts my heart,” one fantweeted.
He ran an olive oil store
Frankie Muniz has had a lot of jobs in his life.
In an interview withThe Republic, Muniz explained his surprising career move.
“Now, it’s become our lives.”
Muniz manned the register himself, among many other retail duties.
Apparently, he enjoyed working with money.
“I love doing payroll.
I love doing anything with the financials,” he said.
“I’m a numbers guy, so this has been like a dream come true for me.”
He and Price sold the store in 2020 after running it for two years.
“I know I’ve jumped around to a bunch of different careers/passions of mine!”
“It really means a lot to me.
I’ve sold my olive oil company and moved on to a new adventure!”
Looking back on that time in his life, Muniz says that it feels like a dream.
Almost to the point where I look back, and I go, ‘Was that real?'"
Now, the actor has a family of his own.
She makes my life instantly better!
Their family grew in 2021, when Price gave birth to a son.
I love my baby so much" (viaPeople).
A few days later, he revealed the baby’s alliterative name in anInstagrampost.
“World, meet my son Mauz Mosley Muniz,” he wrote. "
I didn’t know it was possible to love anything as much as I love him."
“I started thinking about it and I think, ‘Do you remember every day of high school?’
You remember certain moments, which I do, of my career in my past … ## Frankie Muniz’s surreal life
In late 2022, Frankie Muniz returned to television.
News that his wife was the one who encouraged him to sign up for the show.
“We immediately created this bond in this … house because none of us drank,” he explained.
“So we’re ‘The Sober Three.’
And we had an amazing connection and became really, really close because of it.”
He toldPage Six, “I’m unfortunately, like, Dennis Rodman-dong height.
I saw way too much of Dennis Rodman’s dong.”
This time around, he drives for ARCA, a NASCAR feeder league.
“Talk is one thing.
Saying I want to be there is one thing,” he said.
As of May 2023, Muniz led the ARCA standings, according toThe News Tribune.
A Malcolm in the Middle reboot?
“Will & Grace” returned in 2017 for three additional seasons.
“Mad About You” came back as whatever a Spectrum Original is.
So … what about checking back in with the Wilkersons and reviving “Malcolm in the Middle”?
According to Frankie Muniz, such a reboot might in fact be in the works!
He also teased that a former co-star might be spearheading an effort to get the group back together.
“So, there might be something.
I would be down 100%.”
