Frankie Muniz shot to stardom playing Malcolm in the iconic family sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. Frankie was awarded the “Young Star Award” and by 2003, he was considered “one of Hollywood’s most bankable teens”. He went on to appear as a guest star on various TV shows and movies and has amassed over US$ 40 million. Malcolm later took a break from his acting career to pursue other dreams like racing. He participated as an open wheel racing competitor in the Atlantic Championship. Sadly in 2012 and 2013 he was hospitalized for having two mini strokes, but now he is happy and healthy again. In 2012 he became a drummer in a band called Kingsfoil and recently got engaged.
