In a touching revelation, Frankie Muniz, the beloved star of "Malcolm In The Middle," shared that Bryan Cranston, who portrayed his on-screen father, continues to play a significant role in his life even after the show's conclusion. On a recent episode of Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast, *Inside Of You*, Muniz disclosed that Cranston reaches out every few weeks to “check in” on him, demonstrating the enduring bond between the two actors.

Muniz, who has transitioned from acting to a career as a race-car driver, expressed gratitude for Cranston’s support, stating, “He really cares about what I’m doing.” He highlighted how Cranston not only connects through phone calls but also makes it a point to attend his races and band performances. The thought of Cranston taking time out of his packed schedule to cheer on his "son" truly resonates with fans who witnessed their chemistry on-screen.

Reflecting on his time working with Cranston, Muniz described him as a "father figure" and a formidable inspiration. He praised Cranston for his unwavering dedication, sharing, “He showed up every day on set and gave it 100%. He was so nice to everybody and you never ever saw him wanting to leave.” Muniz credits this work ethic as a driving force behind his own pursuits.

This heartfelt tribute to Cranston mirrors sentiments shared by his former TV wife, Jane Kaczmarek. When Cranston received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2013, Kaczmarek revealed how he took Erik Per Sullivan, the actor who played Dewey, under his wing, allowing him a semblance of stability during the chaotic filming schedule.

The camaraderie and genuine friendship between Cranston and Muniz highlight not just the magic of Hollywood, but the deep connections that can form through shared experiences. As Muniz continues to carve out his path, it’s clear that with Cranston’s support, he is never alone in his journey.
