"As an adult, you tend to overthink things ... and you put more pressure on yourself as well," he continued. "So I didn't know what it was gonna be like — if it was going to be easy to be Malcolm, if it was gonna be awkward back with the cast. And not to sound, like, cliché, but it was as if not a single day went by. All of us — every single person — instantly fell back into their characters with, I'm talking the first table read."
The longtime star said this was the "first time in my entire life that, when I was done filming the reboot, I was happy to call myself an actor."
"I've always been like, 'Oh yeah, I act but I also do these other things too,'" Muniz added. "It was just really fun and a really cool experience, so I'm hoping that everyone loves it for sure."
