Frankie Muniz | Race Car Driver

You could remember Frankie Muniz from the iconic sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. You may also know him from his performance in the touching film My Dog Skip, or maybe you recall him as Agent Cody Banks. Muniz appeared to be everywhere for a while.

Muniz, on the other hand, faded from view after the completion of Malcolm in the Middle. He gained a degree of popularity as a child star that it seemed like he’d never stop acting, but Muniz discovered that he had other passions. Though Muniz hasn’t entirely abandoned acting, he has pursued new career directions and made significant life changes. Muniz eventually decided to pursue a new interest, which shocked some of his fans. He was the race car driver for the Toyota 500 in 2001 and won the Toyota Pro-Celebrity Race in 2004. Frankie realized that balancing acting and racing would be impossible, so in 2006, he chose to take a hiatus from acting for a while.
