Frankie Muniz Will Straight Up Murder Your Ass

Douglas Reinhardt — Thu, 08 May 2008 17:10:00 EDT

After a brief stint as a Pink Dot delivery guy, recovering child star Frankie Muniz has returned to the world of acting. While leaving the supermarket where he works, Muniz explained that he's been bulking up and working out for a bold, new high concept film. He is said to be pitching a self-penned script that has him playing a guy who's a hitman by day and and a Pink Dot delivery guy by night. Muniz hopes that playing against type will bring him back much the same way it brought John Travolta back with Pulp Fiction.

Former Malcolm In The Middle star Frankie Muniz was spotted on the first day of his new job as a Pink Dot delivery guy. Muniz explained that the residual checks for Malcolm are becoming smaller and smaller and the parts aren't as interesting as they used to be, so he picked up a gig as a delivery guy. Muniz went on to explain that in his downtime, he's working on a spec script that was described as No Country For Old Men meets Juno.

One time "cute" child actor but now just "creepy" actor Frankie Muniz struck up an instant friendship with fellow cute kid/awkward adult Alfonso Ribeiro while out in Las Vegas. The pair shouted numerous times over the music that they had so much in common being former child stars and all, yet their conversation never gained much momentum beyond that. At one point Alfonso quickly muttered something about knowing what it must feel like when doves cry which got a blank stare from Frankie. Alfonso shook his head and quickly said that he asked if Frankie had used a fake ID to get into the club.

TMZ's all-seeing cameras, dutifully stationed in the areas around Hollywood's hottest nightclubs, capture new, utterly shocking footage reportedly showing (things get a little grainy and confusing in the melee, but we'll take their word about what's actually going on) a former Malcolm in the Middle star taking a couple of punches behind LAX. Disappointingly, Frankie Muniz was not involved in the brawl. [TMZ]

Frankie Muniz Graduates to Champ Car Atlantic, Will Never Graduate From College

Matt Hardigree — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 15:08:00 EDT

Honestly, if you were 21 and had millions of dollars and nothing better to do you'd propose to your 27 year-old hairdresser girlfriend and start racing cars, too. Frankie Muniz, star of Malcolm in the Middle, has graduated from the Formula BMW USA series to the Champ Car Atlantic Series and will be racing for Jensen MotorSport at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach. Apparently, he's sporting a mohawk in order to "be taken seriously as a member of the Jensen MotorSport team." Which is completely logical... as everyone knows, Fangio, Moss and Gurney all wore mohawks as young drivers. – Matt Hardigree

World Cheers As Frankie Muniz Quits Acting For High-Risk Sport

Seth — Thu, 13 Apr 2006 17:02:21 EDT

Frankie Muniz can now add another impressive line to his resume, right beneath "starred in Malcolm in the Middle" and "single-handedly convinced Playboy Mansion to abolish their minimum height requirement." Muniz has announced he'll be giving up acting to become a full-time race car driver:

The 20-year-old "Malcolm in the Middle" star has applied the breaks to his acting career, at least temporarily, to race for Jensen Motorsport in the Formula BMW competition. [...]
"I got signed to Jensen Motorsport for two years, so once the show is done, I'm just going to be doing that full-time," Muniz tells ABC News Radio. [...]

Muniz is best known as a comedian, but his new career could put him in line down the road for a big-budget action flick, as there have been several.

We're having a difficult time picturing the perpetually-lodged-at-the-cusp-of-puberty actor headlining his own Michael Bay-helmed explosive speedway adventure ("MUNIZ. STEEL CHASSIS. SUMMER 2010"). Then again, they don't call it "Hollywood magic" for nothing, and you wouldn't even need expensive CGI: Just a vehicle rigged with a Yellow Pages booster seat.
