“I will never allow my son to enter this industry.”

A recent interview Pedestrian televisionFrankie Muniz has spoken about his early years as an actor, saying he refused to see his young son (now 3) become a child star:

“I will never let my son enter this industry”He said, before clarifying that the decision has nothing to do with his own TV adventure.

“It’s not that I’ve had a negative experience, because to be honest, my experience has been completely positive. But I know a lot of people, close friends of mine, who have had terribly negative experiences. I think it’s a scary world in general.”

“Becoming a successful actor is like winning the lottery.”

Muniz then elaborated on his point, explaining that in the world of film and TV series many are called, but few are chosen, and that the “luck” factor was fundamental:
