Born and raised in New York, Danny Masterson is already an industry
veteran. He began his career in entertainment when he was four and has
since established himself as one of the industry's emerging young
talents, having performed in a number of challenging roles in both
feature films and television series.
He just completed production on Robert Rodriguez's latest feature,
"The Faculty," which will be released Christmas Day
Beginning his career as a child model, Masterson gradually moved into
commercials, appearing in over 100 by the age of 16. It was then that his
family decided to move to Los Angeles. Shortly thereafter, he secured
his first motion picture role in the popular sequel "Beethoven's 2nd." He
then went on to co-star with Mathew Modine, Paul Reiser and Randy
Quaid in the comedy "Bye Bye Love." In 1997, Masterson worked
alongside John Travolta and Nicolas Cage, portraying the outrageous
boyfriend of Travolta's daughter in John Woo's summer blockbuster
"Face/Off."
Masterson is also no stranger to television, having been a series regular
for the last two seasons on "Cybill," playing Christine Baranski's son and
Alicia Witt's love interest. His additional television credits include
regular roles on "Extreme" and "Joe's Life," as well as recurring roles
on "Party of Five," "Roseanne" and "NYPD Blue." Masterson also has
guest-starred on the series "Sliders," "American Gothic," "Empty Nest,"
"Jake and the Fat Man" and "The Tracy Ullman Show," as well as the
miniseries "Murderous Passion" and the movie-of-the-week "The
Morning After."
In addition, Masterson has starred in numerous independent films,
including "Dirt Merchant," with Anthony Michael Hall and David Faustino,
and "Too Pure," which were both screened at this year's Cannes Film
Festival. He has also starred in "Happy Birthday Billy Gale," "Family
Values" and "Lunchtime Special."
Masterson currently lives in Los Angeles.
