After a brief stint as a Pink Dot delivery guy, recovering child star Frankie Muniz has returned to the world of acting. While leaving the supermarket where he works, Muniz explained that he's been bulking up and working out for a bold, new high concept film. He is said to be pitching a self-penned script that has him playing a guy who's a hitman by day and and a Pink Dot delivery guy by night. Muniz hopes that playing against type will bring him back much the same way it brought John Travolta back with Pulp Fiction.

Whatever, the kid is like five feet tall and looks like a slightly menacing squirrel.

I just want to go give him a hug and wipe that dirt off of his upper lip and chin.

I wonder how many Frankie Muniz's I could take on in a fight.

You leave people him alone. Frankie's a doll; he makes me feel all pederast-y in the same way that the butt-shots of Harry Potter make me feel. And that's a good thing. I think.

I saw him jogging down Sunset at 8:30 the tuesday morning. He looks like his shoulders are slowly eating his neck and head.

He looks like he means business. Actually, he looks like Simon Pegg imitating Ben Kingsley in "Sexy Beast".

This image shows that there will be no problem with Frankie nabbing the title role in "the Lee Harvey Oswald Story."

Why do child stars all grow up to be so stunted*? Is it because casting directors choose kids who are naturally small so they can last longer/play younger than they are? Or are their handlers slipping them some sort of anti-growth hormone to make their meal tickets last as long as possible?

*Physically, although it's not probably unreasonable to assume that they're emotionally stunted, too.

@Omelas: I think they cast 'em small. But hell, they could be drugging them too.

Or maybe we'll soon see a dramatic congressional hearing (a la Roger Clemens) where we get terrible details about how Frankies Muniz was bleeding through his pants from INJECTING HIMSELF with anti-growth hormones...

Or maybe not. How long until he has a creepy marriage at a young age that ends in divorce? Isn't there a law that all child stars have to do that nowadays?
