Frankie Muniz has opened up about his health in a big way.

The 31-year-old actor discussed his health problems during Dancing With the Stars' "Most Memorable Year" night on Monday, Oct. 9, 2017.*"I'm not actually sure how my memory loss started," Muniz shared in a pre-taped package, which aired prior to his performance (via Entertainment Tonight). "I have had nine concussions and I've had a fair amount of mini-strokes."

"I'm not saying those things correlate exactly to the reason why my memory's not great,"*the DWTS contestant explained to his professional dance partner,*Witney Carson. "I've never been to the doctor and been like, you know, 'Why don't I have a memory?' To be honest, I've never really talked about it."

The former*Malcolm in the Middle*star's girlfriend, Paige, has helped him through it by keeping a journal of their day-to-day lives.*"I love to be able to look back," the former child actor*said. "It makes make a little sad that it doesn't just pop back into my mind. Like, I should have remembered going to Australia. That's something that people remember."

Muniz also has the support of his TV dad, Bryan Cranston. "I told him not to worry about what you remember and what you don't remember. They're still your experiences," Cranston said in the video. "That will be my job. I will tell him, 'Remember this? Remember that from*Malcolm? What a life for you!'"

"My most memorable year is 2017, because I learned to live in the present," Muniz added. "I'm happy with my acting career, I'm happy the decision I made to drive race cars and to focus on music. Even if I don't remember it all, I'm happy."

Following Muniz and Carson's quickstep performance to "Adventure of a Lifetime" by Coldplay, host Tom Bergeron said,*"You seem to be almost at peace with the fact that you're having memory issues. Is that accurate or is that just acting?"*To which the actor-turned-race car driver replied, "No, 100 percent. I mean, it's not something that I necessarily think of. I'm just me, so I only know my brain and my life."

The Curse (AGC Blind Item)

281. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 05/18 **#16**

The Curse: There was a room on the set of this back in the day hit sitcom. It was a room that the young stars of the show were told to never enter if they wanted to keep their careers alive. The adult actors stayed far away from the room. They were taking no chances. Apparently a year after this house was built, three young girls were murdered in the room. A horrific murder that took place after each had been raped by a man who then killed himself after. Of course, kids being kids, most of them went past the temporary barriers set up to keep them out by the owners of the house. What happened to the kids? The A list star of the show saw his career for no reason turn into a dumpster fire and he went from A to not working really quickly. Another star of the show, went from having unlimited career possibilities to suddenly just getting a guest appearance or two a season and making crap movies no one knows exist. One actor who had been an A list tweener made a guest appearance on the show and his career went from A-/B+ list to nowhere on the list. There is no one from that show that went in that room that didn't have their career just wither on the vine and die. Or just die in real life like this once promising A-/B+ list actor. As for the room? When the show ended, the owners tore down the entire house and built a new one.
