Oh my as a 12 year old girl I was mad over Frankie. 🙂
He had a nice little career as a child and teen actor with Malcolm in the Middle where he made his name and a few movies that were nothing more than fluff to capitalize on his fame from MITM.
However, that being said he was an awful actor and that is why as an adult he is open-wheel racing. 🙂
I love MITM and had a huge crush on Muniz in 2000 like all other pre-teen girls. 🙂
I love Frankie to death back when I was a kid and MITM was new on TV. 🙂
I like the movie My Dog Skip. 🙂
