“I’m only 21 years old,” “But definitely racing is my passion right now and is all I’m focusing my life on. It’s amazing.”

Frankie Muniz, TV’s Malcolm, says he’s focused on racing over acting
After rising to fame as the title character in the long-running TV comedy “Malcolm in the Middle,” Frankie Muniz claims to be semi-retired from acting.
These days, Muniz is devoting his energy to racing and is set to take part in the Steelback Grand Prix of Toronto on July 8.
“This is only my 15th month, which is pretty crazy,” he said Wednesday of his quick rise on the circuit. “I’m having fun.”
At the Toronto event, Muniz will be racing in the Champ Car Atlantic Championship for Jensen MotorSport.
Muniz jokingly refers to himself as a “part-time, retired” actor.
“I can’t say that I’m retired from acting because I’m pretty sure there will be some time in my life where I go back.”
“I’m only 21 years old,” added Muniz. “But definitely racing is my passion right now and is all I’m focusing my life on. It’s amazing.”
Muniz admits it was hard leaving his television family from “Malcolm” after the show wrapped just over a year ago.
“I had dinner with Bryan Cranston who played my dad about a month ago, and we talked about racing,” he said.
“I definitely miss them.”
Despite his claim that he’s done with acting for the time being, Muniz has several film projects coming up, including “My Sexiest Year” co-starring with Harvey Keitel, the animated “The Legend of Secret Pass,” and the teen comedy “Parental Guidance Suggested.”
According to a recent DailyNews.com artcile Justin Berfield who played everybody’s favourite bad boy Reese in Malcolm in the Middle would love to work with his old on set ‘family’ again.
FAMILY MATTERS: Former “Malcolm in the Middle” star Justin Berfield, who has been branching out into producing as of late, tells us he misses working with his TV family since the cancellation of their show, but hopes they’ll have other opportunities to collaborate in the future. “If we’re ever working on a project and one of them could be perfect for a role, I’d definitely want to bring them on,” says Berfield. “Everyone there was a like a second family.”

Many actors stumble into their profession, but Gary Anthony Williams was dropped into it by a computer error.
The Georgia-born actor, who plays Clarence Bell and his alter ego, Clarice, on ABC’s “Boston Legal,” had assumed he would wind up going into business before a computer glitch mistakenly assigned him to a high-school drama class. It was love at first sight.
“I had a great teacher, and we did some mime and improv stuff,” Williams says. “Immediately, I thought, ‘This is good.’ ”
After a brief stab at college, Williams moved to Atlanta and began working at the Academy Theatre and the Georgia Shakespeare Festival. In 1988, he joined the city’s long-running improv troupe Laughing Matters, where he performed until 1998, when he and wife Leslie moved to California.
An unsuccessful audition for a role in the pilot of Fox’s “Malcolm in the Middle” led to a plum recurring role on the sitcom as Abe Kenarban, the father of Malcolm’s best pal, Stevie.
“It was a huge education for me in the business out here,” Williams says. “I would see Bryan Cranston being so nice to everybody. He told me, ‘I made a deal, if I was ever the lead on a show, I would not be an ass.’ That whole set was really like family, which is exactly how ‘Boston Legal’ is.”
Williams has his fingers crossed that he will again be part of the David E. Kelley dramedy next season.
“David tapped into something that nobody else really knows about me, which is that I really am a very shy guy” he says. “I get to play around with that a lot, and this is really three characters in one that he has written, so it’s just wonderful.”
