This is 40.
Little kid me would’ve laughed if you said 2025 was real… or that I’d actually get here. I used to try picturing 40-year-old Frankie...what I’d look like, what I’d be doing...and it felt like science fiction.
If you’d told 13-year-old me on the Malcolm set that I’d walk away from Hollywood, race trucks full-time in NASCAR, own a freaking olive oil store, become a husband, a dad, and somehow still get recognized as “that kid from the show” two decades later… I would’ve called you crazy.
Most days I’m still waiting for someone to tell me this is all a prank.
But here’s the thing: the wild childhood is in the rear-view, the chaotic twenties are a blur, my thirties were where I finally figured out who I am when the cameras aren’t rolling… and now 40?
40 feels like the starting grid.
I’ve got the best little family, the fastest chapter of my racing career ahead, and a hunger I haven’t felt since I was that kid begging for one more take.
This isn’t the finish line. This is engines on, green flag dropping.
Let’s go. Thank you all for being part of this absolutely unbelievable ride.
Just wrapped filming the Malcolm in the Middle reboot, and man, I’m still reeling. This experience was straight-up incredible—like stepping back into Malcolm’s wild world but with all the love and chaos cranked to 11. Reuniting with the cast, getting to know some new characters, laughing till it hurt, and making new memories on set felt like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from. It went by so fast, like a blur of perfect moments. I wish it could go on forever.
I'm so happy to have gotten the chance to relive being on this show with a greater appreciation of what we were making knowing how many people around the world truly love Malcolm and his family. Another big thing I am taking away from this experience is how much I truly love being an actor. I never officially felt like that label fit me, but now I wear that label proudly and hope to do so much more of it in the future. I am so sad to have to say goodbye to my MITM crew, I love each and everyone of you.
And PS: Life's Still Unfair
I had so many incredible pictures of all the cast I wanted to post but Disney won't let me.... So imagine a picture of all of us together, having the time of our lives!
Just started watching Malcolm in the Middle episode 1. Got 151 to catch up on before we start filming again in a few days!!! Can't wait to get back together with my old family.
Never thought I would make partner of a law firm @forthepeople! Nevermind partner with America's Largest Injury Law Firm! As someone that watched every episode of "Suits", I know how big of a deal it is to have your name on the wall (Even if it's hand written in for now). @DMorganESQ and I are basically besties. Can't wait to race the Morgan & Morgan & Muniz truck this Friday night in Las Vegas and a bunch of other times during this NASCAR season. Actor, race car driver... Kind of a lawyer, what can't I do?? #forthepeople #ad
OF MY GOSH! I'm so excited to announce that after 18 years, Malcolm in the Middle is returning with new episodes on @disneyplus!
Get ready, we can't wait for everyone to see what Malcolm and his family have been up to! #MalcolmInTheMiddle
