Francisco "Frankie" Muniz IV (born December 5, 1985) is an American actor and racecar driver. He is known primarily as the star of the FOX television family sitcom, Malcolm in the Middle. In 2003, Muniz was considered "one of Hollywood's most bankable teens". In 2007, he put his acting career on hold to pursue a racing career. He competed in the Atlantic Championship. Muniz was born on December 5, 1985, in Ridgewood, New Jersey, the son of Denise, a former nurse, and Francisco Muniz III, a restaurant manager. His father is Puerto Rican and his mother is of Irish and Italian ancestry. He has an older sister, Christina. Muniz was first discovered at age eight at a talent show in the Raleigh, North Carolina, suburb of Knightdale (shortly after the family moved from Ridgewood), where he was cast as Tiny Tim in a local production of A Christmas Carol. His parents divorced shortly after. Muniz subsequently moved to Burbank, California, with his mother. He appeared in commercials and made his film debut in the made-for-television movie, To Dance With Olivia (1997), starring Lou Gossett Jr. The same year, he appeared in the CBS Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation of What the Deaf Man Heard. A small role in the film Lost & Found (1999) led up to his breakthrough role as the title character on Malcolm in the Middle. The winner in 2005 was Frankie Muniz ('Malcolm' on "Malcolm in the Middle"), in a celebrity race that featured a lot of crashes. "General Hospital" star Ingo Rademacher smashed into the tire barriers on the first turn (and again at the end, along with Olympic swimmer Aaron Peirsol). Frankie's "Malcolm" co-star, Justin Berfield ('Reese'), totaled his car during practice Friday, crashed again during qualifying, and went into the tires in the big race, colliding with Patrick Dempsey ("Sweet Home Alabama," "Iron Jawed Angels"), along the way. Other 2005 celebrity drivers included singer Meat Loaf (I Would Do Anything for Love / "Fight Club"), Mark Steines (anchor on "Entertainment Tonight"), Karl Malone (future NBA Hall-of Famer with Lakers and Jazz), Paige Hemmis ("Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"), and U.S. Olympic medalists Amanda Beard (swimming) and Misty May (Beach Volleyball).
