Frankie Muniz revealed to his “Malcolm in the Middle” dad, Bryan Cranston, in a new Esquire video interview that he often wonders how his career would’ve been different had he not dropped out of “Holes.” Muniz was attached to play the lead role of Stanley Yelnats in Disney’s 2003 movie before he got the offer to headline “Agent Cody Banks.”

“I was signed to be in the movie ‘Holes,’ and it was 100% about to start filming, and then ‘Cody Banks’ was greenlit. They were like, ‘Which one do you want to do?'” Muniz remembered. “I immediately picked ‘Agent Cody Banks,’ but I remember everyone pushing me to do ‘Holes’ because of the story, and it’s a little more dramatic. Shia LaBeouf ended up doing it, and it kind of catapulted his movie career.”
