Chris Masterson on Malcolm Revival & Dream Roles

Actor Chris Masterson, known for his role as Malcolm's eldest son, revealed he personally identifies with the middle child dynamics depicted in the popular sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle." Masterson, who is himself a middle child, shared that he often experiences a desire for harmony within a group, alongside a need to ensure everyone is having a positive experience.

Masterson reprised his role in a recent four-part revival of "Malcolm in the Middle." Looking ahead, he indicated a willingness to participate in further projects within the "Malcolm" universe, whether that be additional episodes, a movie, or a spinoff, contingent upon the quality of the material. He noted that future installments depend on creator Linwood Boomer's vision.

Beyond the "Malcolm" franchise, Masterson is eager to explore diverse acting opportunities, including challenging roles that involve multiple dialects or time periods. However, he confessed a particular fondness for comedy and expressed a long-held ambition to perform in a multi-camera sitcom, a format he has never previously experienced. He also admires the comedic stylings of the cast of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."
