Frankie Muniz doesn't remember starring on Malcolm in the Middle

My memory is shot at 34.

My mother (licensed bereavement therapist) believes it's part of my father dying when I was young.

Never had any bad concussions or anything that I know of. I basically can't remember anything about my childhood without pictures or some kind of reminder. Don't know the name of any teachers I had save 1 or 2 in 18+years of school.

My teen years are really spotty to me now in my 30s. My GF talks about things we did when we were young, and she shows me pictures, a lot of the pictures I don't remember doing anything in them.

She showed me a picture of myself, her, and a bunch of friends in a limo from her 18th birthday....I don't remember any of that, but I'm in the pictures...worries me.

Not surprising since the guy is a total mensch.

Just learned a new word.
Had to google Mensch since not knowing it, sounds like a mean word.

Same.
I had to google to word too. I was "wtf did you say about Cranston? **goggle the word** Oh. That's nice :D"

About Muniz, it's pretty sad that he can't remember. But he seems he has a girlfriend to support him a lot, good friends and a positive attitude. I wish him the best.
 
It's sad. It's also tragic that the one thing he loves to do most in the world has ruined his brain. I just hope he's happy. From what I can tell, he always seemed like a good kid.

We are fragile.

Fake Edit: I loved his tiny cameo in "Stuck on You" where he was sleeping with Cher.

He hasn't seen a doctor about his memory loss and his gf keeps a daily diary for him? Sad.

I read that in the article too. He said he hasn't talked to a Dr. about his memory loss. He is like what 31 years old? And his GF is keeping a daily diary for him.

The dude should really go see and talk to a Dr about his memory loss. If only to get checked out and referred to trained professionals that can give him strategies and techniques to better cope with his condition.

I specifically rented the movie Stay Alive because Frankie was in it. That movie is the best kind of terrible. I still love watching it every now and again. Really unfortunate to hear about his memory issues.

It's one of those movies that uses videogame references to try and appeal to people who would know what they're talking about (and failing because they get it wrong) while still marvelling at minor things that people who play games wouldn't flinch at, like voice activated prompts or vibrating controllers.

I can't remember a whole lot from my childhood/teens, either. I remember teacher names and locations, like all the details you'd find on a fact sheet, but as for actual experiences? Hardly. I'm lucky to have one memory from each grade.

I don't remember meeting my best friends in 7th grade or anything we did back then. They tell me the stories. I've heard so many stories about myself over the years. Much of my own history I know from retellings from my friends. I've laughed at my own jokes before because I didn't remember telling them. I went out with a girl for 5 years and I hardly remember her, which is weird.

The good thing is that it seems my memory started working right at about 21. I still don't have the best memory but at least when people tell me stories from back then, they don't seem foreign. I get that "oh yeeaaahhh" moment.

Jesus, his girlfriend writes down what they did everyday in a journal so he can go back and remember - that's so fucking sad :(

I don't really remember anything from the first 17 years of my life. Never really thought about it before but I don't have a single memory from 1st-4th grade.

He was actually pretty good at it too.

Shame what's happened, hope he can still live a full life.
Pretty good for someone who took up pro racing so late in his life. He has zero podiums, it wasn't likely he was ever going to graduate to IndyCar. The Atlantic Series after 2007 was nothing more than a glorified club racing group.

Just to give you an idea how he is on the show, this is from the second week -- people really like him:

BTW, there are a couple other performers on this season that might interest GAF -- Lindsey Stirling who is a great violinist you might remember from her gaming medleys or her more recent albums. But, also Jordan Fisher, who besides being in Hamilton, was in Until Dawn as Matthew.
 
Didn't know he was almost the same age I am.

Didn't know either about all the awful stuff that happened to him.

He should go and see a doctor though.
