Danny Masterson

About

Daniel Peter Masterson (born March 13, 1976) is an American actor. He portrayed Steven Hyde in That ’70s Show (1998–2006), Milo Foster in Men at Work (2012–2014), and Jameson “Rooster” Bennett in The Ranch (2016–2018).
In 2023, Masterson was convicted of raping two women in 2003, and is currently serving a 30 years to life prison sentence. A third count of rape resulted in a hung jury. Masterson is a Scientologist, as were his victims at the time of the assaults. The Church of Scientology’s attempts to silence the victims, and other interference, delayed for 20 years the bringing of the crimes to justice.

Masterson was born on Long Island, New York, to Carol and Peter Masterson. He grew up in Albertson, Garden City, and East Williston in Nassau County. Masterson has a brother, actor Christopher Masterson, who played Francis on Malcolm in the Middle. Their maternal half-siblings, Jordan Masterson and Alanna Masterson, are also actors. He also has a paternal half-brother, Will Masterson.

Starting at age four, Masterson worked as a child model, and at age five, was featured in magazine articles as well as television commercials…
