Frankie Muniz<\/a> is reflecting on his unconventional path through Hollywood<\/a> and beyond, admitting he has often struggled to feel like he belonged in the acting world.<\/p>\n During a recent appearance on the Lightweights Podcast<\/em>, the Malcolm in the Middle<\/em> star shared how, even at the height of his fame, he sometimes felt out of place among his peers.<\/p>\n “I’ve always felt a little bit like an outcast as an actor. I remember I was nominated for like an Emmy or the Golden Globes when I was a kid, and I remember showing up there and being like, ‘How am I even invited here? Like, I don’t even feel like […] these aren’t my people. Like I’m an outcast, you know?” Muniz said.<\/p>\n He explained that after the sitcom wrapped up, he leaned into other passions, including professional racing, music, and running businesses, often distancing himself from the label of “actor.”<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

I was like, ‘Oh no, I race cars now’ or I was in a band or I’m doing this or I’m a business owner.’ Yeah, I act, but I also do this. When we finished Malcolm<\/em>, I’m in the middle of my NASCAR season, right? I’m a NASCAR driver. It was the first time I was happy to say I’m an actor. I am an actor and I’m proud of it,” he added.<\/p>\n Muniz, now 38, has lived a multi-faceted career since his child star days, balancing acting with pursuits in racing, music, and entrepreneurship. His next starring role will be in the <\/a>Malcolm in the Middle<\/em><\/a> reboot titled <\/a>Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The reboot is a four-episode revival that will premiere on Disney+ in December 2025. Muniz returns in the lead role as an adult Malcolm, while Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek reprise their iconic roles as Hal and Lois.<\/p>\n <\/a> Emma Stone Says She Believes in Aliens: ‘I’m Coming Out With It’<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Rudolph Valentino to Be Honored 99 Years After His Death at Historic Hollywood Memorial<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> ‘Ketamine Queen’ in Matthew Perry Death Agrees to Plead Guilty in Federal Case<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Kris Jenner Shuts Down Corey Gamble Breakup Rumors With Boo’ed Up Joint Appearance<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \u2018The Long Walk\u2019 Marches Onto the Big Screen<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
