Frankie Muniz Got ‘Really Sad’ Thinking About Sacrifices His Family Made for His Career as a Child Star

Frankie Muniz is opening up about the sacrifices his family made so that he could be a successful child actor.

On the Nov. 26 episode of Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum, Muniz, 38, explained that in the past year, he’s been reflecting on the sacrifices his parents and sister made so he could be a child actor. As a preteen, he and his mom headed to New York City “because we'd kind of maybe outgrown what we could do in North Carolina, like as an actor,” he explained. He said that he and his sister have talked about this time in their life now and added, “When it's happening you don't realize the sacrifice that every single person is making for you.” He noted that he was particularly moved that his elderly grandparents “were so willing to help out and do whatever they could do” to fulfill his dreams.
