With the end of Malcom in the Middle, 20-year-old Frankie Muniz has given up on acting for awhile to become a professional race car driver, saying he’ll return to acting when he’s 23 or 24 to get a fresh start.
“I’ve had Malcom since I was 12. In the beginning, everyone was asking how I was going to make that transition from child actor to adult actor, respected actor, movie actor, whatever that might be. I thought, `Well, I’ll just continue what I’m doing and, when I turn 18, I’ll be an adult. So I’ll be an adult actor, right?’ But the things we were looking at me doing were all completely different roles, completely different genres of film, to just break me out of that (child actor) thing. When it came down to it, about six months ago when I really made my decision, all I really wanted to do was go racing.
“I want to want to act and, right now, I want to race. I’ll try it out, have some fun and, truthfully, I think it will be easier for me to leave for a while and come back (to acting) when I’m 23, 24 and be an adult and start fresh.”
In future news, Frankie Muniz has retired from racing after realizing the only skill he has is playing a 12-year-old with a raspy voice. Seriously, racing? It’s like when Lance Bass lost his mind and decided he wanted to be an astronaut. But then that fell through and now he works at Best Buy or something.
Ok, this is my tryout for thesuperficial. Ready, here we go:
Yeah, maybe he figured that since he looks like he is 10,and always will, that he should kill a hobo, hang out with more midgets and dildo, Paris Hilton, potato gun.
Did I get the job?
When asked which car he will be driving, Muniz replied, “the Matchbox car”.
#48 gets my vote for best small-child-as-race-car-driver allusion.
And #8, no I didn’t think anyone really cared about his future career as an actor. Except for me, maybe, but that’s because I have thing for young boys.
#51 – You’re Hired!
Now tell me where we can mail your check for 42 cents.

Hey, deciding to become a racecar driver is a hell of a lot better than joining some psycho cult/con game!
Anyway, Screech and Tom Arnold would be too much competition for him…
Oh good! I hope he crashes and dies. God I hate him and his dracula teeth…
Paul Newman did it….but I guess Frankie Munez is no Paul Newman…long live the salad dressing baron!!!
Holy crap. This is cracking me up since this is the career choice that Bobby Brady also made.
