Most of us know 16-year-old Frankie Muniz as Malcolm from the hit TV comedy Malcolm in the Middle. He's one busy dude. You've seen him do guest appearances on other shows and commercials. He lends his voice to cartoons and is often seen in Hollywood at various charity fundraisers. Now he has his first big lead role in the wacky comedy Big Fat Liar. When we talked with him, we found him to be so "normal" that it was weird. He seems unaware that girls find him "cute." He's totally into his hot new "ride" and, like a lot of new drivers, almost lives in his car. He told us about the process of working in film versus television, working with pal Amanda Bynes and how he crams so much living into his busy schedule.

We heard rumors about Frankie's amazing new car. "I bought the Jetta from The Fast and the Furious. I made a deal with my mom yesterday. I have a pick-up truck too. We got it to be my first car. She said once I get to 40 thousand miles she's gonna let me get one of those Cadillac Escalade pick-up trucks they came out with. So I'm like driving in circles trying to get up to 40 thousand miles."

Little Malcolm a street racer? Move over Vin Diesel. "Don't tell anyone (yeah, like we won't publish this..). But I had it up to 140 the other day without lighting the nitrous. My mom likes it. I only do that in the right places (of course)."
