Malcolm Nolastname
Rotten Tomatoes/Fox Television Studies
They’re credited as the Wilkersons in the pilot’s script and that’s about it. The family surname was deliberately left blank because creator Linwood Boomer did not want to put any specific ethnic label on the characters. In the final episode, Francis’s ID badge at his job reads “Francis Nolastname,” presumably because “Inthemiddle” wouldn’t have made sense for every member of the family.
Frankie Muniz’s Memory Issues May Be Overblown
IMDb/Fox Television Studios
What’s been said publicly is sometimes contradictory, like when he told People he’s “only reminded of how bad memory is” when friends ask him about specific events, which other places described as “severe memory loss.” It all started on Dancing With The Stars, where he talked about how important journaling was to him. He later told Steve-O on Wild Ride With Steve-O that the whole “doesn’t remember Malcolm In The Middle” thing is untrue. Muniz sounds like a fascinating person with a busy life, which may not lead to the most total of recalls sometimes. Then again, he’s had some brain trauma. Only he knows what’s in his brain, as he says, and it sounds like he’s a little more cognizant than people make him out to be.
