Bryan Cranston & Chris Masterson Celebrity Poker Showdown [Video]

Back in 2004 Chris Masterson (shortly after his brother Danny) appeared on the Bravo show Celebrity Poker Showdown. Essentially 5 celebrities play no limit Texas hold ‘em poker for charity, with the winner each week progressing to the final. The show is rather fun and friendly to the novice poker viewer.

Chris plays a surprisingly quiet game, I’m guessing it was his game face, for Citizens Commission on Human Rights his chosen charity. I won’t give away how well he did, but definitely worth watching.

Chris competes quite often in tournaments, most recently the Dream Team Tournament earlier this year on 28th March.

Bryan says that when he was young he and his family would bet on anything “what tooth I would loose first when I was 8″. In his first appearance he played for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, a charity Bryan has supported for many years.
