Meh, you def have a better shot with good parents, but there are plenty of successful people that had terrible parents or came from a shitty home life. And there are junkie bums who had great parents but can’t tell you about it bc they’re bums or they OD’ed

[@PervertedPodcast]

Steve O is a good example of that too...but kinda in reverse...same lesson though! lol

[@todayisforgotten]

​@@mst3k54 I would say its more context. People always think they are so good or this and that but how many good people hit women or their wife or steal or whatever. Doing the right thing does not make you a good parent. However, this should probably be changed to something like having parents who provide you with the proper choices or good choices or choices in general, while supporting you and being loving, goes a long way. Yes. There will always be the small groups that go the opposite but i take it, "good" parenting is exactly what i touch on above (and that is just a few examples).

@@AxxLAfriku hello

[@TickleMeElmo55]

What I like about Frankie is that he isn't so much driven to be "an actor" - he has other interests and hobbies that could arguably take over any acting gig on tv or film. He's the type of actor that you look at and think that he'd survive outside of the film/tv/entertainment industry. Many kid actors tend to stay acting till they die not really knowing any other pathway to make a living or to channel their creativity. I'm glad Frankie has found success in other avenues.

[@sinatramnzzz928]

malcolm in the middle is a show that i found my self relating to when i was 12 years old . and when i was 26 years old . different stages of my re understanding of every character and what they are going thru . finding something deeper in every watch. a showcase of true brilliance in sitcom. Frankie is one HELL of an actor

[@jacobg8640]

I love how he describes his audition as him reading his lines in a way without caring because he's in a hurry which is probably exactly what got him the part.

[@luisfmc14]

Definitely fits with the character

[@karnewsletters3328]

Exactky what I thought. I also once got a part in a play , without expecting, since I was a newbie. Great feeling.

[@el_duderino_man]

True lol. In sitcoms, they spit out their lines fast. He was probably doing exactly that perfectly because he was in a hurry to leave.

[@Smartychase]

Exactly what I thought because Malcolm talks 19 to the dozen in the show and the rushing probably made the character come to life

[@Tsudkyk]

I’m so happy to see Frankie didn’t have the typical child star story. He is someone who had the ability to guide his own destiny when he became an adult. He made some amazing choices, the man has a good head on his shoulders.

Malcom in the Middle was one the best TV shows ever. Honestly, I would love to see Frankie return to acting on TV or to the big screen. Good luck dude.

[@elperrodelautumo7511]

I rather that he should decide on that choice. The fans shouldn’t pressure Frankie to return like a snap.

[@2beJT]

Makes me so happy to see the kid all grown up with his head on right and able to manage the success so well.

[@kath3832]

This guy is so down to earth and genuine! All of you seem to be!

[@chrispteemagician]

Dude, thanks so much for this. It's great to hear Frankie did well for himself, I loved the show.

[@jeepernj99]

What a great personality he has!

[@brecovers]

This guy was literally my generations hero. Big fat liar!!! Lmao such a good movie. I was one of the saddest kids on earth when he got into a his accident. I’m happy to see he’s doing awesome. Thanks steve-o!!

For you...

[@fatsuperfly]

So cool you guys got Frankie! That was my childhood show, watched probably every episode. Very cool how he talk about how he got the gig and everything.

[@kevinmatthew1050]

Great interview. He seems like such a good dude. Malcom in the Middle is one of the most underrated comedies ever.

[@kate2create738]

Frankie seems like a cool person, even better seeing how as a kid he made unique yet impressive business choices that paid off.

[@GenuineNPC]

Gotta love this interaction. Life experiences fully on display here, all around.

This is dope, especially considering just how big of a kid star he was back in the day..he was like, the biggest thing not just as a kid star but a star period, for a time

[@Murph1331]

As someone who grew up on Malcolm in the Middle every week as a kid about his age, it’s so cool to see what a smart and humble dude he’s grown into

[@guidezoid1646]

I think its humbling and cool that he never smoked and drank even with all his success at a young age. Now that is pretty freaking rare.

[@kingcreature5206]

Yeh seriously, especially with the amount of influence that would have been around him.

[@Hugh.G.Rectionx]

true. i win 2 quid on a scratchcard and im out on the piss celebrating. no wonder he has more to show for his life than i do lol

[@aidanmouellic5919]

Steve-Os dog is so freakin sweet and adorable

[@GustavoLopez-hp8zz]

Good for him, it makes me happy to see him do well. Easily one of the best tv sitcoms. Portrayed poverty in a working class family in such a realistic way.

[@strelok5661]

poverty? im from south america and though they were middle class lol, different standards of poverty i guess

[@Joseph-nh6in]

By American standards they were definitely in poverty. But largely because of bad financial decisions. They have a much nicer house and live in a much better neighborhood than most Americans in poverty would live in. Other than the house, they lived a poverty lifestyle, perhaps because they were spending lots of money to pay for Francis's military camp.

[@jacobygrove2202]

@@jougetsu what classes are you talking about? Dewey is an elite piano prodigy and they won't even buy him an 88 key keyboard. He gets a shitty 30 dollar looking keyboard. Maybe they're not in poverty, but the kids live a poverty lifestyle because the parents are negligent. Hal spends 1000 dollars to rent a truck to run things over, but they won't shell out 200 dollars for an 88 key keyboard, or better yet, find someone giving away an upright piano for free. They had plenty enough room for an upright and it's not hard to find people giving those away for cheap or free.

I'm sure Frankie won't see this comment, but I'm an Egyptian who grew up watching this since I was 6. I literally learned English by watching this show .. must have rewatched it at least 10 times! Thanks for all the childhood memories!

[@jilltheprivateinvestigator3328]

Great to see Frankie so stable in life. Being stable after living as a child star seems to be an anomaly.I had to laugh though, Steve O and the money questions. lol

[@TheLordCinderbottom]

I sell downtown parking lots in a major city, and he is spot on about them potentially being worth $100s of millions these days. I've also sold a couple self-storage properties as well, and can see that Frankie made some fantastic investment decisions with his money. He got some great advice back then!

[@albanpaul907]

Do you know how much he would've bought them back in 2002?

Frankie is obviously very smart and well raised. Gotta love this guy.

[@njosborne5540]

Child actors and their parents should be required to attend a presentation led by Frankie. He is so balanced and separate from the stereotypical Hollywood tragedy.

[@hugorocha7854]

Hell yeah shout out steveo awesome interview !

[@boonedocksfl2012]

Frankie was on my little league baseball team before he made it "big" in Knightdale, NC. He never references he lived here but he was an energetic happy dude back then and seems the same way now. Glad for his success.

[@betaraycomics9072]

I live in Knightdale and had no clue!

[@DaveRichardsonFitness]

Frankie is inspiration to always follow your passion; he did acting including big movies, then decided to do race car driving, then got involved in a band and toured relentlessly.. topped with solid investments and a frugal attitude. It’s great that his mom taught him to be frugal. Other parents would use their kids money to buy a huge house, forget to pay the tax on the house then go bankrupt. Waste the money pointlessly. Frankie bought some cars but most of his money seems to have gone into houses, strategic investments, apartments and business ventures

[@harleyHDz]

Haven't seen frankie in what feels like forever, so cool that he's doing so well.

[@tonydalton459]

Yeah, great to see. Malcolm in the Middle was great, and he was terrific in it. Haven’t seen him in anything as an adult, but glad he doesn’t seem to have suffered the fate of so many child stars.
