Frankie Muniz, best known for his role as Malcolm in the Middle, has had a diverse career and faced some health challenges. Heres what happened to him:
-
After the end of Malcolm in the Middle, Muniz decided to focus on being a full-time race car driver. However, his first attempt at a racing career was cut short in the late 2000s when he was badly injured in an accident, suffering a broken back, pins in his hand, broken ribs, and a broken ankle. He later returned to racing and in 2023, he announced that he would compete full-time in the NASCAR-owned ARCA Series.
-
Muniz also pursued a music career and was a drummer for the band Kingsfoil. However, his time in the band was short-lived, and in 2014, he announced on Facebook that he was parting ways with his bandmates due to scheduling problems.
-
In terms of acting, Muniz has made cameo appearances in various TV shows and films, playing himself in some instances. For example, he made a cameo appearance as himself in the second season of the comedy Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 and in The Mysteries of Laura.

Muniz has faced some health challenges, including two suspected transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) in 2012 and 2013. In 2023, it was reported that he has suffered nine concussions and has dealt with migraines that were initially misdiagnosed as mini-strokes. However, in October 2017, he stated that he had no health issues.
