Frankie Muniz notably went missing from Hollywood almost immediately after Malcom in the Middle wrapped, only popping up as a guest star on a television show every now and then. Instead of honing his acting skills, Muniz spent about a decade pursuing a career as a professional race car driver. He also spent sometime as a drummer for a pop-rock band, per CBS News. (What can’t Muniz do?!)
While Muniz has certainly stayed busy, we know one reason why he isn’t acting as much as he used to — aside from pursuing other interests. The actor has been dealing with major memory loss, concussions and mini-strokes. On an episode of Dancing with the Stars (via People), he revealed that he doesn’t remember his time on Malcolm in the Middle.
When the former child star opened up to Entertainment Weekly about it in 2017, he shared that he didn’t remember getting nominated for his Emmy or attending the award show. “I don’t specifically remember being nominated, or what I felt, or what we did.”
These days, Muniz relies on his wife, Paige Price, who keeps a detailed daily journal of their life together (via Page Six). “I only know what it’s like to be me and if I don’t let it bother me, I just try to live the most fulfilling, best life I can,” Muniz told People. “I really try to take advantage of my time. And I’ve got a lot in my life.”
