Malcolm In The Middle Cast: Where Are They Now?
3. Jane Kaczmarek - Lois
Jane Kaczmarek played Lois, Malcolm's overbearing and, frankly, terrifying mother.
Kaczmarek was excellent as Lois, with her endless screaming and innate frustration with her sons. She gave us countless relatable moments, delivering one of the most realistic and simultaneously exaggerated examples of parenthood on television.
Kaczmarek hasn't quite been able to capture lightning for a second time, and after Malcolm in the Middle ended she has mostly been limited to guest roles on TV shows. She appeared in The Big Bang Theory, and regularly appears on The Simpsons as Judge Constance Harm.
Kaczmarek also reprised her role as Lois in a leaked alternate ending of Breaking Bad, in which Bryan Cranston's character, Hal, wakes and realises his turn as Walter White was nothing more than a dream
Kaczmarek also contributed an afterword to children's book Together, alongside former co-star Erik Per Sullivan.
