Here's What The Cast Of 'Malcolm In The Middle' Is Up To Today
Malcolm in the Middle was a hit series back in the early 2000s. Aired on Fox, the sitcom follows a dysfunctional working-class family of an immature father, a hotheaded mother, and an overly intelligent son. One Peabody Award win, one Grammy for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media, and seven Emmys are enough to prove how iconic Malcolm in the Middle was.
However, it's almost been 15 years since the show ended, and many of its stars have ventured into other things. Here's a little look back at Malcolm in the Middle cast and what they've been up to lately.
10 David Higgins Secured Smaller Roles
David Higgins played Craig Feldspar, a childish hopeless romantic and Lois' co-worker, appearing in 39 episodes of the series. After departing the show, he played Reginald Bitters on Big Time Rush and Joe on Ellen. Now, the 59-year-old actor only takes smaller roles. He scored several cameo appearance in shows including Mom, School of Rock, Comedy Bang! Bang!, and B Positive.
9 Emy Coligado Struggled To Secure Big Roles
Unfortunately, despite her breakthrough as Piama Tananahaakna, Emy Coligado struggled to bounce from the show on to others or find continual success. Her last big role was Elizabeth on Ctrl in 2009, but the show was canceled after only one season. She has an impressive net worth though, so that's still something to be proud of.
8 Craig Lamar Traylor Ventured Into Modeling
Remember Malcolm's best friend Stevie who always had to take a deep breath every one or two words? Well, Craig Lamar Traylor, the actor behind the character, became a model and an aspiring tattoo artist. He has an impressive collection of ink on his own body including a big pair of wings on his chest!
7 Frankie Muniz Became A Music Manager
During his peak, Frankie Muniz was one of the most bonafide child actors in Hollywood. However, that didn't stop him from venturing into other opportunities. Just a couple of years after the show ended, he pursued an open-wheel racing career, and later, he became a drummer for a band called Kingsfoil.
6 Catherine Lloyd Burns Became A Writer
Catherine Burns played the earnest teacher on the show. In real life, she's also very intelligent. Aside from her acting career, Burns has written several books where she goes completely candid about her motherhood experience. She also wrote a humorous and touching novel for kids called The Half-True Lies of Cricket Cohen about a family with early stages of Alzheimer's disease.
5 Erik Per Sullivan Disappeared From The Hollywood Limelight
There are many cases where breakthrough actors and actresses couldn't manage to push their acting career to new heights, despite starring on one of the most popular shows of the decade. Unfortunately, Erik Per Sullivan is one of them. He's best known for his portrayal of Dewey, Malcolm's younger brother. The Massachusetts actor has been taking some time away from Hollywood's spotlight.
4 Justin Berfield Produced A Series
Justin Berfield may not have been the most popular star of the show, but he eventually ventured into management after Malcolm in the Middle ended. Thanks to the show's success and his directing job at Virgin Produced, the 34-year-old has amassed an estimative $10 million net worth. Way to go, Reese!
3 Christopher Masterson Welcomed His First Child
Remember Francis? Well, Christopher Masterson, the man behind the character, will soon become a happy father of one. Masterson and Yolanda Pecoraro tied the knot in 2019. The latter announced over social media last year in November that the happy couple is expecting a baby soon.
2 Bryan Cranston Went On To Star In Other Very Popular Shows
Bryan Cranston is a versatile artist. Not only is he able to pull off comedic stunts like with Malcolm in the Middle, but we also know the actor for his brilliant portrayal of high school chem teacher-turned-drug dealer Heisenberg on Breaking Bad.
Now, Cranston has added one more show to his impressive resume. He starred as a judge who "breaks bad" to protect his child from a hit-and-run incident on Showtime's Your Honor.
1 Jane Kaczmarek Landed Several Smaller Roles
Lastly, who could forget Jane Kaczmarek's motherhood touch from the show? Since the show ended, the Golden Globe-nominated actress has also landed other smaller roles and ventured into acting in dramatic plays. She landed a nomination from the Ovation Awards as the Best Lead Actress in a Play for Good People at Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.
