‘Malcolm in the Middle’ mom says ‘common sense’ saved Frankie Muniz from child star downfall

Frankie Muniz always had "great common sense," according to TV mom Jane Kaczmarek.

"He always had a really great common sense about him," Kaczmarek, who reunited with Muniz for the revival of the early 2000s hit "Malcolm in the Middle," told Fox News Digital. "He was always a good kid. He never got into a lot of the trouble that I think some actors can."

Bryan Cranston, who is also returning as Muniz’s father in "Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair," added that the now-40-year-old doesn’t drink or do drugs.
