Frankie Muniz

Frankie Muniz, the beloved star of the television hit ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ definitely went through some tragic career changes. He had a successful acting career as a child actor and was even nominated for a Golden Globe twice. This makes the following event later those years even more sad because he can’t even remember his most glorious years. After the show, Muniz decided to pursue his passion for racing and began competing in professional motorsports competitions, including the Atlantic Championship series. After leaving the racing scene, Muniz turned to music and became a drummer for the band Kingsfoil.

In 2012, Muniz suffered two mini-strokes in one year, which severely affected his memory. He reportedly can hardly remember his time as a child actor. Despite his memory loss, Muniz didn’t let it hold him back and decided to channel his entrepreneurial spirit. He opened a specialty store called “Outrageous Olive Oils and Vinegars” in Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona, with his partner Paige. The store specializes in unique olive oils and vinegars from around the world. Muniz has thrown himself into running the shop and it has become his main focus. He still makes occasional appearances on TV shows and events, but running the store has been his primary focus.
