Frankie Muniz - Dead Career

[hellouser]

And we all know why his career is over;

His hair is so thin, it's worse than mine. Bryan Cranston is close to 60 years of age and he's doing much better. This guys is never going to get another big role... unless it's a bumbling bald loser role. But hey, it's JUST HAIR, RIGHT?

 

[CaptainForehead]

I don't think his hair has anything to do with his career. Remember, he is only 5'5. He is never gonna be the romantic lead.

Hollywood can hide it if an actor's short and they have hidden shortness for some romantic leads.

 

[shookwun]

not 5'5. that's average height of most Caucasian women.


His career ended after the prepubescent tv and movie era. once he hit puberty it was game over for any leading and supporting actor roles. to be precise it ended after Malcom in the middle.

Regardless of his hair, he's aged like ****. 30 going on 45


Bald + short = game over.

 

[I.D WALKER]

LOL. You left out absence of asymmetrical facial aesthetix and meathead physique.

There are people with full head of hair whose careers have been over in entertainment industry. There are people who went bald but that didn't impact their career. How can you reduce complex set of reasons behind end of a career to "it's because of hairloss" is beyond me. Sometimes, "It's because of hair" is just as ridiculous as "It's just hair".

I think that the people who lose their hair and maintain their careers (Sean Connery for example) have to be top notch talents and they have to adjust to wigs
readily. You have to live in it 24/7 ala Ted Danson and Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darren. And now John Travolta looks like he's going to live in his too. Some guys
don't want to do this sh!t.

Agreed. Or be one of those guys who look good with shaved head. The point is that when a career ends, there is usually a complex set of reasons and many things going wrong.

Telly Savalla pulled it off and he didn't even wear a wig. I don't know how he pulled it off but he deserves a lot of respect for doing so. He didn't just lose his hair - he was very unattractive and he actually became a leading man anyway but I don't think he ever became a romantic lead. He was more of a tough-guy lead who never gets the girl.

Hollywood does not want to show bald guys get the girl because they know that the American people want to see a beautiful man kiss the beautiful girl.

I wonder about the life of the dude in the video. Is he incel? Is he depressed?

@Captain Forehead

Cringe worthy to watch.


A flesh light, and annual subscriptions to HD pornography is the reality for him.

 

[Pray The Bald Away]

HOLY F*** these threads depress the hell out of me. I'm only 17.5 and my hair is starting to recede. God please let Samumed/Replicel/Histogen work!

 

[resu]

He gave up acting years ago, nothing to lose, he has money from the show syndication.

 

[Austin:316]

Nearly all child stars' careers die when they enter adulthood, like the kid from Sixth Sense, the kid from the Wonder Years, Machaualy Kulkin, the girl from Sebrina the Teenage Witch. The list is endless.

He's just being REAL, bro! Someday you'll stop all this positivity and face the dark truth ...

But seriously, that last sentence is gold, couldn't have said it better.

On top of that, OP picked the 2 worst pictures that can be found of Muniz's hair, he normally looks nowhere near this bad, I just have no idea what he was thinking with that haircut. There's plenty of actors with as much recession and somewhat as much thinning, and people don't even have a clue just because of how they style it (and I just mean styling it, not to mention the vast amount who go one further and conceal etc.). If Muniz had half a clue he could still have this, only a few years ago:

By no means a desirable hairline but as long as it gives the impression of hair, a lot of people don't notice. Is it any worse than Jesse Pinkman?

Since Breaking Bad, Aaron Paul is doing tons of filming, and if you don't think about his hair loss and focus on it like in a picture above, you don't even realise just how bad it is (no pun intended). He's got 6 years on Muniz so you could say he's outside of that "weird balding youth" category but he's had a poor hairline for years.

Basically, there's a lot of factors as to why either actor is working or isn't working, and Muniz was a comedic child actor, becoming even a comedic adult actor is a completely different thing. He might suck, basically.

And judging by the one delivery of a line in this trailer that must have been his best showcasing of acting skills, yes he does suck.

When you're balding even a little bit, that 'swept up' hairstyle is probably the worst thing you can do. That only really works well on a 95%+ full head of hair.

 

[frenchy]

btw hiw wife :

....

note that his career isn't over, last year he played in Sharknado 3

 

[Dench57]

Apparently he has a net worth of $40 million. And yeah, his wife:

Poor bloke.

 

[I.D WALKER]

I have deep Galician roots and also a "high forehead" like dear Frankie boy..,
well before my Androgenetic Alopecia assault anyway ha ha!

Spanish/Celtic genes or pure coincidence?

This image may give us new insight how well his hair has matured.

 

[shookwun]

Sharknado 3 :laugh:


Tier 5 film of PEACE.
