„Bryan Cranston Comes in Wearing a Little Speedo.” Frankie Muniz of Malcolm in the Middle Met His TV Father Under Hilarious Circumstances
Frankie Muniz talked about the circumstances under which he met Bryan Cranston on the set of Malcolm in the Middle. The situation was very unusual.
In close bonds of the on-screen family were also reflected in real life, as the cast of this sticom became attached to each other. Frankie Muniz even itted that while working on the TV series he just spent more time with the series family than his real family.
Muniz, during an interview with People, talked about the circumstances under which he met Bryan Cranston, who played his father in Malcolm in the Middle. As it turned out, the actor was cast quite late, so the cast only met him on the set, and under funny circumstances due to the scene they were supposed to shoot together first.
We hadn't met Bryan because they didn't cast Bryan, or whoever was going to play [his character], until a few hours before we started filming. And the first scene we filmed is from the pilot where my mom is shaving him in the kitchen while we're eating breakfast. And so Bryan Cranston comes in wearing a little Speedo, you know what I mean? And he's like, 'Hey, I'm going to be your dad. [It was] just a memory that just sticks with you... because that was the beginning of moment that really changed my life as far as the show.
Muniz confessed that during the seven years they worked on the series, they all had a great time together and really grew close. He added that with the rest of the guys, they really were like brothers, which was a result of spending 12 hours a day with each other all those years. He also added that Cranston s him to this day and keeps in touch with him even though they stopped working together long ago.
