Former child star Frankie Muniz recently revealed the reason behind his absence from two episodes of the hit TV show 'Malcolm in the Middle.' Muniz disclosed during an appearance on Australia's 'I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here' that he had walked off the set due to the tense atmosphere created by certain individuals who were controlling, rude, and disrespectful.
Muniz expressed his concern over the fear that cast and crew members felt in standing up for themselves, prompting him to take a stand by walking off the set. Despite the risk of not being allowed back, Muniz felt it was necessary to address the issue, given his status as the show's protagonist.
The actor, who starred in 'Malcolm in the Middle' from 2000 to 2006, shared his positive experience as a child actor but acknowledged the darker side of the entertainment industry. Muniz emphasized the prevalence of rejection and the challenges faced by many individuals in the business.
Reflecting on his own journey, Muniz expressed hesitance about allowing his own child to pursue a career in show business, citing the negative experiences of friends in the industry. Despite the complexities of the entertainment world, Muniz remains open to the idea of revisiting his iconic role in 'Malcolm in the Middle.'
He hinted at the possibility of a reunion, noting the enthusiasm of co-star Bryan Cranston for the idea. Muniz's willingness to return to the show reflects his enduring fondness for the 'Malcolm' family and the impact the series had on his life.
