#48: Frankie Muniz

It’s lucky there aren’t more child stars featured here, or the stories we’re telling would be more on the tragic side and far fewer instances of success following success. Most child stars end up suffering from various mental illnesses or, at the very least, running away from the paparazzi for the rest of their unhappy lives.

It’s nice to know that Frankie Muniz was one of the lucky ones, following up his Hollywood career with a stint in car racing. It reminds me of his fantastic scene from Agent Cody Banks, where he stops a car from rolling down a hill with a baby on board, armed with nothing but his skateboard.
