Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz revealed that he doesn’t remember most of his time acting in the television sitcom, following a series of head injuries.
The actor, who suffered a serious car crash in 2009 while competing as a professional race car driver, revealed the news of his memory loss in his rehearsal video for Dancing with the Stars on Monday.
Muniz said he has suffered at least nine concussions and a “fair amount of mini-strokes,” which he said might have resulted in his severe memory loss.

“Over the past 10 years, my mom will bring up things like trips we went on or big events and they are new stories to me,” he admitted. “I don’t know what the cause of it is. It’s not something I looked into, I just thought it was how my brain is — so I thought it was normal. I didn’t know I should remember going to the Emmys when I was younger.”
He admitted that he hasn’t gone to doctors about his memory loss. “To be honest, I’ve never really talked about it.”
“I’m not a doctor person,” he added. “Every time I go to the doctors they just tell me I’m crazy.”

An interview with his former TV dad, Bryan Cranston, was also included. “Frankie was a TV star, then he became a race car driver, and a drummer in a rock band,” Cranston said. “I said to him once, ‘What are you going to be, an astronaut next? You are doing all the things professionally that everybody dreams about.’”
“I’ve gotten to do anything that I really wanted to do,” Muniz replied. “But the truth is, I don’t really remember much of that.”
Muniz has been working with his girlfriend Paige Price to help with his memory loss. She writes down what they do together every day in a journal.
