Justin Berfield was born on February 25, 1986 in Panorama City, California. He began by acting in commercials when he was five - in a coffee commercial - but you'd probably know him as Ross Malloy in Unhappily Ever After. Later he starred in some family movies before landing the role of Reese, the second brother and dim-witted troublemaker in Malcolm in the Middle.

quotes
On Malcolm: �The best thing about my job is getting to blow things up! We built this house, just to blow it up!�
How he�s not an avid book reader: �I don�t read. I just read one book for school�The Client�it was good.�
On acting: �It can be harder to be a child actor because you have to balance work and school. But as a child you�re luckier because you can only work nine hours a day whereas adults can wind up working twenty-four hours a day. I think it�s pretty even though."
