I'm Kind of a Big Deal. Colloquial Expression. Inspired by the motion picture, Anchorman, I'm Kind of a Big Deal means: I'm kind of a big deal. Expression usually used by those who are decidedly not a big deal.

Remember Frankie Muniz? The kid from "Malcolm in the Middle" who got waylaid by ugly stick during puberty (that's his fiance above -- is he dating a Cylon)? Yeah  -- guess what happened to him? He quit the business to pursue a career in racing cars about three years ago. And he's good. Really good. Compared to all the other celebrities turned race car drivers, at least.

"I don't want to sound conceited, but I don't think there has been an actor or celebrity-turned-racecar driver that has made it as high up on the racecar circuit as I have. So I don't think there's anyone who can keep up with me. And that's just me being honest."

So, in other words: He's kind of a big deal.
