The cast of That '70s Show is set to reunite for the reboot, That '90s Show. The former cast is very excited to reunite, however, there are noticeable absences, including Danny Masterson, who wasn't extended an invitation for the show. In truth, since his assault allegations came out, the actor's career has never been the same.
What about his brother, Christopher Masterson? Chis had quite the career, know for his work on Malcolm in the Middle as Francis. He also appeared on That '70s Show for two episodes, playing the role of Todd.
In 2019, his career seemed to slow down. We'll take a look at why that is, and what the actor is doing these days. It seems like along the way, Masterson took a liking for DJing, and it would lead to a new business venture in 2021.
Christopher Masterson Is Generally Remembered For His Work On Malcolm In The Middle As Francis
Christopher Masterson enjoyed significant roles throughout his acting career. Among the roles he is most recognized for, includes his time on Malcolm in the Middle, playing the role of Francis from 2000 all the way until 2006.
The actor had other significant roles, including Scary Movie 2, My Best Friend's Wedding, and Cutthroat Island.
Masterson also briefly appeared alongside his brother in That '70s Show, taking part in two episodes. He played the role of Todd, becoming a brief love interest of Jackie, aka Mila Kunis, who was working at the time, after her parents cut her off on the show. Frustrated with Kelso, aka future husband Ashton Kutcher, Jackie used Todd as a crutch.
Ultimately, his guest cameo was short-lived, and he didn't have much of an interaction with his brother on the sitcom.
Christopher Masterson's Acting Career Slowed Down In 2019, And He Transitioned Into The Music Industry
It is unsure if his brother's career as anything to do with it, however, as of 2019, Chris' acting career slowed down. He appeared in Beneath the Leave, and I'd Like to Be Alone Now.
It looks as though his gigs started slowing down in the 2010s, and his relationship to music might've been another reason why. Masterson loved the DJ life, and he grew a passion for it because of his brother.
"My brother had been a DJ for a decade before I started so I was exposed to it a lot and I messed with it when I was a teenager here and there. Five or six years ago I started doing it and realized really quickly how much work that it takes to go out and play and not suck," Masterson tells A Drink With.
"I would record my sets and feel like I was Michael Jackson while I was playing but then I’d listen and they were terrible. So I just kept practicing and when I felt like I was okay I started playing at restaurants, house parties and random little places. I did that for a long time until I started playing at a bar here or there and I’d be really nervous."
That would all change for Masterson, as in 2012, he was playing at a major festival in Paris, Lollapalooza. It seems like these days, the former actor is keeping up with the music industry, starting a new business.
Christopher Masterson Won't Be Appearing On That '90s Show, But He Did Start His Own DJ Agency In 2021
With the That '90s Show reboot, fans can't help but to think of Danny Masterson, and the fact that he won't be appearing on the series. Not a surprise, his brother won't be appearing either, and it doesn't seem as though he has any acting gigs lined up in the near future.
Instead, the former actor seems to be committed towards his new business, which is a DJ agency helping artists get booked for gigs.
He posted about his involvement to Instagram. "NEW ROSTER / NEW COMPANY — I’ll be here with this talented crew @yay3dayweekend.
It remains to be seen if the former TV star will ever return to acting. Nonetheless, he seems to be very content with his current circumstances, which includes lots of travel, something he loves to do.
