Frankie Muniz came to fame in the 2000s as the star of TV shows and movies like Malcolm in the Middle, Big Fat Liar, and Agent Cody Banks. Unfortunately, the actor now says that he doesn't remember most of his hit roles due to his memory loss.
"I only know what its like to be me. Or have my brain. So, Im only reminded of how bad my memory is when people I see, they come to me and go, 'Oh, you remember when we did this? Remember we went on this trip to this country?'" he explained to People . "And I have no recollection of it, but in my head, its not like I feel bad or sad about it."
Muniz has suffered from nine concussions in his life, with the first one occurring at age 7 when playing goalie in a soccer game. In 2012, Muniz had a mini-stroke , and he had a second attack less than a year later.

The timing of when Muniz started losing his memory is unclear, but in 2017, the actor competed on Dancing with the Stars , and he opened up about his memory loss. He explained that his girlfriend Paige Price (now his fiance) helped him by writing down the things they do together in a journal.
But as Muniz explained to People, he doesn't like to dwell on the negatives. "I only know what its like to be me and if I dont let it bother me, I just try to live the most fulfilling, best life I can," Muniz said. "I really try to take advantage of my time. And Ive got a lot in my life."
In addition to his acting career, Muniz has also been a race car driver and a drummer in the band Kingsfoil. Most recently, Muniz and Price bought an olive-oil shop in Scottsdale, Arizona. Muniz is also known for his very intriguing, very relatable, Twitter account .
