Tuesday’s video chat with Chris Masterson was a great success. Many thanks to Chris for agreeing to take the time to speak with us and of course to everyone who watched and participated in the chat. There were some great questions about Malcolm in the Middle and some of the projects Chris is working on now.
The chat (and the recording) went a lot more smoothly this time around with fewer technical difficulties. A full video recording of the hour of chat with Chris is embedded below.
Please note: for the majority of the chat Chris is in the larger window and our host TJ was in the smaller window in the bottom right, but for the first few minutes of the video this is reversed.
Stay tuned to Malcolm in the Middle VC — we hope to have more video chats soon!
After the success of our video chat with Bryan we have setup a live video chat with Chris Masterson to continue the 10th Anniversary celebrations!
Tuesday 23rd February at 3pm PST / 6pm EST / 11pm GMT (UTC) Live on BlogTV.com
If you can’t make the live time and would like a question answered reply, and I’ll try and get Chris to answer it. You don’t need a BlogTV.com account to join the chatroom and ask questions.
Watch it live below, but go here to join the chat! Hope to see you all there!
Chris Masterson (Francis) is no stranger to playing a bit of poker in his spare time, having previously participated in Celebrity Poker Showdown back in 2004 and in the W Lounge Celebrity Poker Tournament in 2006 (pictured).
The exclusive, invitation-only event welcomes Hollywood celebrities, industry VIPs and world-class poker players who go head-to head in a freeroll Texas Hold ‘Em poker tournament for charity, $200,000 in cash prizes and eternal bragging rights. One hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit Chrysalis, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping homeless and economically disadvantaged individuals become self-sufficient through employment opportunities.
The event happened over the weekend of Saturday 20th — Sunday 21st February 2010 and was held at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles. Chris and Danny were joined by more than 100 other celebrities as well as some top professional poker players over the course of the weekend. The final six players will return on 3rd March for the Final Table TV taping.
Chris has hit the big three-o today! (22 January). The VC hopes you have a wonderful day Chris! Chris is currently in Park City, Utah for the Sundance Festival, and I’m sure he’s going to party hard at the Downstairs bar with rapper Slick Rick who is performing.
Last night (21 January) Danny ‘DJ Mom Jeans’ Masterson DJ’ed Downstairs and Chris was there too (pictured above). We hope you’ve recovered enough for your birthday Chris!
Chris part owns the Downstairs bar so is often spotted there. In a series of photos which I have named Deck Shock, Chris looks on in shock at the DJ’s decks, seemingly blown away by the musical genius?
Chris Masterson is starring in pre-apocalyptic short film Impulse, which is being produced by Bluebox Limited Films and was filmed in November last year. Impulse is slated for completion in early 2010. Chris plays David, but we currently know nothing else about the plot.
November 8th – Chris tweeted this photo of himself on set in Perry, Iowa saying ‘Iowa Block Party (of one)’
Made For Each Other (which we’ve been awaiting since 2007) premiered last month in a few theaters but is widely available ‘On Demand’ in the US, no DVD release has been set.

Watch the new trailer above, which is slightly different from the previous one they released. Also IFC have some clips on their site. Chris was at the New York premiere on December 1, 2009 see our GALLERY. He also did a fun and somewhat revealing interview with Afentra on 96.5 The Buzz, promoting his film, Twitter, personal life and love of WALL·E.

The best part of any marriage is consummating it. However after 3 months of a sexless marriage Dan, in a moment of weakness, finds himself in the throws of casual sex with another woman. Dan decides the only way to morally rectify this is, of course, to get his wife to cheat on him and thus he must set out to find the right man to put the hurt on his old lady.
Variety.com Review – A lack-of-sex comedy that somehow features a barnyard’s worth of rutting human animals, “Made for Each Other” is often wryly hilarious, completely overboard and unpredictable. Pairing an utterly absurd premise with an attractive and talented cast, the pic seems made for IFC’s video-on-demand platform, where it’s amusing the couch-bound alongside its limited New York theatrical run.
It’s not clear exactly how, but everybody in town knows that Danny (Christopher Kennedy Masterson, “Malcolm in the Middle”) and Marci (Bijou Phillips) haven’t consummated their union after three months of marriage. This, naturally, yields an occasionally unappetizing smorgasbord of innuendo served up by elderly neighbors, co-workers and the habitues of the wing joint where Danny and his fellow vulgarians drip hot sauce, beer and obscene observations.
Notable among the wingmen are Morris (Danny Masterson, Christopher’s brother) a divorce lawyer who advertises himself as “the Executioner,” and Mike (Samm Levine), who is sleeping with Danny’s mother (Leslie Hendrix, who can hereby wave goodbye to her butch image as “Law and Order’s” medical examiner). The word “vagina” is bandied about by, well, almost everyone. “Piercing” is used as a noun.
Scripted by Eric Lord, and not to be confused in any way at all, ever, with the 1939 James Stewart-Carole Lombard film of the same title, “Made for Each Other” offers the following shaggy-dog implausibilities: 1) Danny’s affair with his vaguely Teutonic boss, Catherine (Lauren German), Marci’s bombshell sister, who pursues Danny the way a shark chases a one-legged swimmer; 2) that Danny would want to rectify his adulterous situation by finding someone to sleep with his wife, so they’d be even; 3) that he would find a willing confederate in actor Mack Mackenzie (Patrick Warburton, in prime form), currently appearing in an ambitious staging of “Waterworld: The Musical” (“Water here/Water there!/Water everywhere!”); and 4) everything else in the film.
The story is ridiculous to the point of being Shakespearean, but the film’s strength lies in the offhanded bits, the digressions, the reaction shots, the laugh lines hanging in the air like underwear on a neighbor’s clothesline, and the cast — notably Hendrix, an economically used George Segal as her philandering husband, and the remarkably funny German, Levine and Danny Masterson.
Helmer Daryl Bob Goldberg may have a narrative swamp on his hands, but he balances his assets cautiously, frugally and with a ripe sense of audacious humor that quite often veers into the smutty, filthy and pornographic. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, or, God forbid, uncommercial, but it does make for an uneven tone — sophistication and vulgarity, the sophomoric and the chic.
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.
In Malcolm Hal loves a poker game, even if he lacks skill, however in the real world Bryan is somewhat a shark…well at least thinks he is, appearing on Showdown twice.
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.
As you can expect from Bryan he doesn’t play a quiet game, he and the other celebs spar throughout, with some pretty funny scenes. His second appearance was a special episode from New Orleans supporting Hurricane Katrina charities, Bryan chose the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.
Twitter is the hot social networking, microblogging and messaging website that has just hit the big time in recent months. We’ve had a Twitter account (@MITM) for about a year. For those who aren’t down with the Twitter, you essentially post short 140 character messages and people ‘follow’ you so they can see your latest updates, see this short ‘In Plain English‘ video for a good introduction.
In the last month both Frankie Muniz (@frankiemuniz) and Chris Masterson (@CKMasterson) have joined giving you updates on their lives. I can confirm that these are the real people and not fakes. As well as simply giving general updates you can @username people and chat directly with them. Frankie and Chris have been having short conversations with followers which is great, we love to see this interaction with the fans. They also carry iPhones and Frankie has been using the Tweetie app to post pictures.
