Though the peak of Frankie Muniz's career has long since passed, the actor's name still carries a certain amount of cultural cachet for a generation of fans who grew up watching him act on television and in movies. Looking back on that time in his life, Muniz says that it feels like a dream. "I mean, really, my whole life, when I think back [on] it, I did so many incredible things at a young age," he told Yahoo! Entertainment. " ... I was at the Emmys and the Golden Globes and traveled all around the world and hanging out at the Playboy Mansion. Almost to the point where I look back, and I go, 'Was that real?'"
If Muniz needs confirmation that it was all real — if he's wondering if anyone still cares — he only has to look at how many times he's been called on to play himself. Frankie Muniz played "Frankie Muniz" on "Don't Trust the B— in Apartment 23," cornered by James Van Der Beek, also playing himself in a grocery store.
He was himself in "Sharknado: Heart of Sharkness," "The Mysteries of Laura," "Preacher," and even Max's animated "Harley Quinn" series, to name a few. In other words, even though Muniz now may look back on that part of his life as if it were a dream, fans still remember.
