While Malcolm in the Middle is a Fox show, Frankie worked with Nickelodeon throughout his teen years — including hosting the 2000 Kids’ Choice Awards and appearing in two episodes of All That.
He also rubbed shoulders with many of the network’s biggest stars, famously appearing alongside Amanda Bynes in the 2002 movie Big Fat Liar.
