react_christopher: Hello everybody!


fionafish_2000 asks: Last night there was a lot of Francis. Will there be more episodes like that soon???
react_christopher: Yeah, they are talking about developing a couple of more episodes around my character. Last night's episode was actually supposed to be the second one shown, but it got pushed back.


ckm_angel asks: Hi! What do you prefer to be addressed as: Chris, Christopher or Christopher Kennedy?
react_christopher: I like Christopher.


pantomime_182 asks: What inspired you to go into acting?
react_christopher: I don't think I was ever really inspired, I started when I was a baby in New York, and I didn't really know what I was doing. Since then I haven't ever really stopped working. It's always been something I've done. And I'm enjoying more as I get older.


fionafish_2000 asks: What's Francis' last name on the show? I don't think I've ever heard it . . .
react_christopher: Our family doesn't have a last name. We don't even have ages. We also don't know where we're from.


CoolDan989 asks: Are you surprised by the booming success of Malcolm In The Middle"?
react_christopher: Yeah, I'm a little surprised, I'm pretty happy about it. When we started we were making this little show that seemed pretty cool at the time. Somehow it became really big.


brightlight11 asks: Hi! I wanted to know if you were planning on doing any movies?
react_christopher: I've been talking to some people about possibly doing a movie this summer while we're off, but I haven't decided on a certain project yet.


young_lassy asks: What do you think about being in chat??? Talking to strangers????
react_christopher: Personally, I like strangers.


Zillion999 asks: Did you ever have stage fright?
react_christopher: That's a funny question. No, I don't get stage fright. And I don't really know why that is. I've done a couple of plays that are notorious for that sort of thing, and it hasn't fazed me all that much. I guess that's a good thing.


ckm_angel asks: Hey Chris! My name is Jen, and I wanted to know why type of music you are into, and who is your favourite band? Thanks! Lotsa luv :)
react_christopher: I don't really have a particular kind of music that I'm most fond of. My favorite band right now is Radiohead. But I like all kinds of music, classical, jazz, and what they're now calling alternative.


your favorite TV show? (besides Malcolm)
react_christopher: My all time favorite show which is gone now is the Larry Sanders Show. But I actually don't have a TV so I don't watch that much.


banzoruss asks: Do you think of yourself as a teen idol now?
react_christopher: No. I don't think I'll ever think of myself as a teen idol.


y2janied asks: Do you have a favorite sport?
react_christopher: Surfing. Generally I don't really play team sports, like baseball or football. I'm more fond of solo sports like surfing, climbing and shooting.


popgrl17 asks: Whats your favorite action movie?
react_christopher: I would say probably Hard Boiled. A very cool movie, known as the Gun Movie.


CoolDan989 asks: What's it like working with Frankie Muniz?
react_christopher: Frankie is great. I've worked with quite a few kids before. The thing I like about the kids on Malcolm is that although they are very professional, they still haven't lost the sense of being kids. They screw around, run around the set, but as soon as someone yells "Action," they put that aside for the time being and concentrate on work.


BabyAzure54321 asks: What three things would you take with you if you were stranded on a desert island? (ps- your cute)
react_christopher: A house, a beautiful girl and my dog.


young_lassy asks: Do you have a girl friend ???
react_christopher: I do have a girlfriend.


CoolDan989 asks: What's your favorite cereal?
react_christopher: Cptn. Crunch.


krystalinna asks: What's your favorite book?
react_christopher: "Ham on Rye," by Bukowski, Charles Bukowski.


manolis_varnassinger asks: Chris, the show is very funny. What do you think of your brothers show that '70s show and do you go to the shootings?
react_christopher: I make it to most of the tapings, and I like the show a lot. I watch videos of it sometimes, so I guess you could say it's the only show on TV that I watch.


young_lassy asks: Have you ever got your heart broke before???
react_christopher: Yes.


y2janied asks: What's your favorite episode so far?
react_christopher: I would say the first episode, the pilot. Although I did enjoy Krelboyne Picnic and Francis Escapes.


krystalinna asks: Will you ever guest star on That 70's Show?
react_christopher: We really haven't talked about me guest starring on That 70's Show, but if I did I probably wouldn't be playing a character related to my brother.


exergal asks: Do you have a crush on any celebrities?
react_christopher: LOL! No.


banzoruss asks: What shirt are you wearing right now?
react_christopher: I'm wearing a red Ruger Firearms shirt.


ashley32086 asks: Do a lot of girls notice who you are in public?
react_christopher: It depends. Some days I look more like myself than other days. Because sometimes when I'm out I'll have a lot of people asking me if I'm that guy, and then other days no one pays attention to me.


Anne_Chovey asks: Any plot twists you would care to entice us with?
react_christopher: I really can't, because I don't even know what shows they've aired.


lindros887 asks: Do you like the charecter that u play?
react_christopher: I like my character a lot, because in one sense he's a little evil. And in another he's a really nice guy with a big heart. So I kind of get to play a villainous character and at the same time play someone who really cares. So it doesn't get boring for me.


CoolDan989 asks: If you could change one thing about Francis, what would it be?
react_christopher: I'd make his hair longer.


blink182caligurl asks: Do you act like Francis in real life?
react_christopher: I kind of base Francis on how I was five or more years ago. But these days Francis and I don't really match personality-wise all that much.


Caramel_cream_13 asks: Do you laugh a lot on the set of MITM?
react_christopher: Yes, we do laugh a lot. There's always different practical jokes going around, and the cast and crew are all generally funny people. So they keep my stomach hurting.


midnitekilla asks: Chris, what is your favorite brand of toothpaste?
react_christopher: Mentadent.


CoolDan989 asks: Are you the practical jokester on Malcolm In The Middle?
react_christopher: Our unit production manager, a guy named Jimmy, has been deemed the practical jokestar. He's very verbal, he'll tell you something very confusing, and you try to find out about it, and end up looking like a complete shmuck.


banzoruss asks: You have any weird habits?
react_christopher: LOL! I talk to myself a lot, which I guess is a little weird. Sometimes when I'm driving I'll be having a conversation with myself, and there'll be a whole family in a minivan watching.


Caramel_cream_13 asks: Were you popular in high school?
react_christopher: No, I really wasn't very popular. Because a lot of time I was working during high school. So I would only make school once or twice a week. So I never really got to acquire a big group of friends.
React_Host: Did you go to the prom?
react_christopher: No. I was in Malta. Doing a movie.


TIF_14_99 asks: What did you have for breakfast today?--Lisa in Canada

puppy_love_21_1999 asks: Whats your favorite place to think?
react_christopher: I do 90 percent of my thinking in the shower. I don't know why that is but I have big revelations there.
React_Host: Do you sing in the shower?
react_christopher: No.


banzoruss asks: Waffles or pancakes?
react_christopher: Waffles, Belgian waffles.
React_Host: Toppings?
react_christopher: Syrup.


banzoruss asks: Did you ever wear braces?
react_christopher: No, but I had about five retainers. I was never able to keep one more than a month. One fell out of my mouth while I was riding my bike and I ran it over. The dog ate another one. But she has really good teeth now, so it all worked out.


CoolDan989 asks: What's on your walls of your trailor?
react_christopher: Wall paper. White wall paper.


drunkenhilly asks: Christopher, I'm Hilary, love your show. Has anyone ever told you that you look like anyone famous (other than you, of course)
react_christopher: I've heard that I look like Wesley Snipes a few times. And someone once told me I look like Elvis. The older years.


SKYLIR asks: What do you do to kick back after working on Malcolm all day?
react_christopher: I usually drive out to Malibu and surf. Then I'll come home and hang out with my dog.


CoolDan989 asks: How did you get started on Malcolm In The Middle?
react_christopher: The job came pretty easy which was nice. I auditioned for it. And that was how I booked it. Normally you have to audition, go back again for a callback. And then do a thing called going to network, which is where you read in front of all of the network executives. All in all it's a pretty long process, so it was nice with I that I only had to go once.


banzoruss asks: If you could characterize yourself in one word, what would it be?
react_christopher: Me.


snboorder asks: How many hours a day to you work?
react_christopher: That would depend on the day. Some days I work as many as 15 hours. Other days it might only take three.


fionafish_2000 asks: If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would you go?
react_christopher: Venice, Italy.


banzoruss asks: Do you ever get intimidated by other actors and the whole Hollywood scene?
react_christopher: No, not really. There's people I respect, but I wouldn't say that I'm intimidated.


manolis_varnassinger asks: Chris, where do you shoot the show?
react_christopher: I shoot it in Studio City, California, at the same studio where Roseanne and Seinfeld were shot.


ladyerynne asks: I heard that the family on the show is based on the producer's family or something. Is that true?
react_christopher: Yes, the family is based on Lynnwood Boomer's family. And a lot of things you see in the show are based on experiences he had growing up.


blink182caligurl asks: What kind of dog do you have????
react_christopher: An Australian Shepard named Cody, he's pretty feisty and sometimes bites people.


popgrl17 asks: What actor/actress would you most like to work with?
react_christopher: Gary Oldman and Lili Taylor.


TIF_14_99 asks: Is your bellybutton an "innie" or and "outtie"?- Lisa in Canada
react_christopher: Currently I have an innie, but some day if I get really fat, it might become an outie.


night_princess_2001 asks: What person on the set do you get along with the most?
react_christopher: I get along with everybody on the set. I'm really lucky to be part of a cast of people who are all really nice.


lindros887 asks: Chris, do u like hockey?
react_christopher: I like watching hockey live, I don't like watching it on TV. I don't play it myself. My brother plays ice hockey though.


banzoruss asks: What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
react_christopher: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Ben & Jerry's.


kymberli_rose696 asks: What would you like to see your character do that he wasn't yet?
react_christopher: I would like to see him join a synchronized swimming team.


carleemouse asks: What's your favorite candy bar?
react_christopher: I don't eat candy. But I once had a candybar called a Violet Crumble. It was very good. I had nice dreams that night.


juiceballsteer asks: Chris, have you ever stole a road sign or car surfed or anything crazy like that?
react_christopher: I once stole a stop sign and I currently have a fire hydrant in my living room. I had to wash it because it smelled like dog piss. Now it's nice and red and shiny. My dog finds it very confusing.


so_cal_skater_surfer_chick asks: Dude, what's something that TOTALLY ticks you off?
react_christopher: When people run into my car. When people throw things at me. When people ask me if I'm related to Liberace.
React_Host: What do you do when you get mad?
react_christopher: I used to be an internalizer. In the past year or so I've become a wall puncher. I punched my mom's refrigeration once, I had to buy her a new one.


banzoruss asks: Do you speak any other languages?
react_christopher: I speak Pig Latin.


sporty_1982_2000 asks: Hey Chris, I think you are cute. I want to go into acting. How do you think I should pursue my dream?

Caramel_cream_13 asks: Who's the best actor/actresses on the show, in your opinion?
react_christopher: I would give the best actor title to Brian Cranston, who plays Hal, the father. He's recently become my favorite character. Best actress I'd say Jane, who plays Lois.

chris_masterson: Yeah, when we shot that movie, we actually had the title "Fear."

chris_masterson: Everybody on "Malcolm" is very cool.
chris_masterson: I wouldn't say there's one person nicer than another.

urock: Who do you like the most out of justin,frankie ect... luv ya from kelly
chris_masterson: I like them all equally, they're all great kids.

MITM_FANATIC: Chris, who do you hang around most with on the set?
chris_masterson: Most of the time, I hang out by myself because on our average episodes, the kids work in the morning.
chris_masterson: And I work military school at night.

chrisyoutheman: Do you ever feel left out because Francis is always away at military school? I mean, don't you think all the fun goes on at the house?
chris_masterson: I actually enjoy being at school more than I do coming home.
chris_masterson: Because we shoot very quickly in the scenes at school.
chris_masterson: Not having the kids around makes everything go faster.

Jason: How old are you on the show? How old are you in real life?
chris_masterson: In real life, I'm 20.
chris_masterson: On the show, we actually don't know my age. We also don't know where our family is from.
chris_masterson: And if you've noticed, we don't have a last name.

IcEydUdE21: Are you going to be home in alot in the new episodes?
chris_masterson: This season, we've shot about 10 so far, and I've come home 3 times.

MikeDaddy: Do you feel like your really the other boys' big brother at all on the set?

chris_masterson: Sometimes I do feel like an older brother, but most of time I just feel like we're friends.

Owen: Hello Chris... I just wanted to say that Malcolm in the middle is a great show. In what direction would you like to see your character go this season and in the future? Any chance of your character moving back home with the rest of the family? Its one nutty family!
chris_masterson: I'd like to see Francis go places which aren't our house or military school.
chris_masterson: Because it's fun to get into a new environment.
chris_masterson: So far, I've gone to New Orleans for Mardi Gras and also to the Lucky Eight to work with my mom.
chris_masterson: And those episodes were really fun to shoot.

MITM_FANATIC: I LOVE MITM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since you spend so much time filiming, are most of your friends actors?
chris_masterson: Actually, no, I have a few friends who are actors.

chris_masterson: And we actually live together.
chris_masterson: But thank you!

IcEydUdE21: Do alot of people notice you alot when your out? Do you get alot of teenyboppers? ARG they are so annoying ....lol
chris_masterson: Yes and no.
chris_masterson: I find that when I get out of L.A., I get recognized more.
chris_masterson: But I think that's because people in L.A. are more pretentious.
chris_masterson: So even if they do know you, they don't want you to know that they do.

JenniferJ: How would you describe yourself when you meet new people?
chris_masterson: I wouldn't, I'd be more interested. I'd be more interested to see what they thought.

urock: Do you ever sometimes wish you weren't famous??
chris_masterson: LOL.
chris_masterson: No.

Frog_Girl: Yo! I hope this isn't annoying, but I think Malcolm in the Middle is the coolest show! my friends and I always talk about it on the bus going to school! what kinds of TV shows/ or movies do you like to watch
chris_masterson: Thank you!
chris_masterson: I like a wide variety of shows and movies.
chris_masterson: My favorite all-time show is "The Larry Sanders Show."
chris_masterson: I also like "Oz."

monkeyfan: Does the success of "Malcolm" intrude on your personal life at all?
chris_masterson: No, not really. If anything, it's given me more opportunities to do better work.
chris_masterson: So I would say that "Malcolm" has enhanced my life rather than intruded on it.

Tooder_Paded: Are you going to be on "Say What Karaoke" anymore?
chris_masterson: Not for a while...
chris_masterson: but we're talking about possibly doing a few more episodes over Christmas.
chris_masterson: The show's a lot of fun to do.

dream063: What was the best part about being a judge in "say what karaoke" on MTV?
chris_masterson: The best part was getting to yell at teenagers.
chris_masterson: Being a teenager myself and being that I like getting yelled at...
chris_masterson: I had a great time.

Tooder_Paded: Is your brother ever gonna make a guest appearence on MITM?
chris_masterson: There's no plan for Danny to appear on "Malcolm" any time soon.
chris_masterson: I think he's content being Hyde on "The 70's Show"...
chris_masterson: but that would be fun.

MikeDaddy: Is there any competition between you and your brother?
chris_masterson: No. We both started working together when we were very young
chris_masterson: so any rivalry we had was extinguished a long time ago.

urock: How do you and your brother get along?
chris_masterson: We're both very happy for each other that we're successful.

rollergirl16: what is your brother Danny like?
chris_masterson: In some ways, like his character...
chris_masterson: and in other ways, Danny and Hyde are nothing alike.
chris_masterson: Very nice, very funny, a lot of fun to be with.

reachu42: if you had a child would you let him or her be a child actor?
chris_masterson: I would leave that up to them, if when they got to an age where they could make that decision, I would support them either way.
chris_masterson: I had a great childhood growing up in this business.

laurabelle: What do you feel is the most challenging aspect of acting?
chris_masterson: Wearing makeup....
chris_masterson: It feels horrible when they make you up, and then you fall asleep, and then they wake you up to do a scene...
chris_masterson: still very sticky.

laurabelle: Do you have any advice for peeps trying to start an acting career?
becky239: what kind of advice would u give for somone , like me, whowants to become an actor?
chris_masterson: My advice would be to find an acting class and work at it till you feel comfortable...
chris_masterson: and then call local agents, ask them if you can audition for them.

AstroKidd: Who is your hero? Or who do you look up to?
chris_masterson: I think I look up to my father more than anyone else.
chris_masterson: He's by far the most interesting person I've ever met...
chris_masterson: and he has an amazing outlook on life.

JenniferJ: What's your most embarassing moment?
chris_masterson: I used to be on a show called "The Road Home" when I was 13.
chris_masterson: One day we were shooting a scene on a dock
chris_masterson: and during a close-up
chris_masterson: a dog peed on my leg.
chris_masterson: That was very embarrassing!

AstroKidd: How many hours a day do you spend filming malcolm?
chris_masterson: Personally, I usually only work 3 days a week
chris_masterson: and it can take us anywhere from 3 hours to 12 hours.

luvlygurl: do you ever watch your show when it's on sundays?
chris_masterson: Yeah, I watched it last night.
chris_masterson: I actually just got TV about 2 months ago.
chris_masterson: And before that, I would watch our episodes on videotapes.
chris_masterson: But it's nice to see it live with commercials.

hihi: So far what has been your favorite episode?
Yankee8022: What has been your favorite episode so far?
chris_masterson: That would be a tie between our first Pilot episode
chris_masterson: and our Season Premiere, which will be on this Sunday at 8:30.

IcEydUdE21: Are you anything like Francis?
chris_masterson: Francis is a lot like I was when I was 14.
chris_masterson: Sometimes I read scenes and I'm not exactly sure how I should play them.
chris_masterson: So I think about when I was 14 and what I would have done in those situations...
chris_masterson: and it seems to come really easy.

dream063: What's the best thing about playing on MITM?
chris_masterson: I really like the way the character is written.
chris_masterson: He always seems to get into trouble, but it always seems to come from a good place.
chris_masterson: I think he's more passionate than devious.
chris_masterson: So it's fun to play that kind of character.

LadiesPunchinbag: What do you like most about working with the other actors and actresses on the show?
chris_masterson: I love working with everyone on the show.
chris_masterson: They're all very different, but it's thoroughly entertaining to watch their personalites change as they become their characters.
chris_masterson: Especially Bryan, who plays Hal.

chrisyoutheman: If you were stranded on a deserted island and could bring only one cast member from the show, who would you bring???
chris_masterson: I guess it would depend on how long I was going to be on the island.
chris_masterson: But most likely, I would bring Bryan Cranston. He'd be funny enough to entertain me on a deserted island.

megan: do you feel people treat you differently now that you are on a hit tv show?
chris_masterson: I sure hope not!
chris_masterson: I haven't noticed a change in any of my friends and family.
chris_masterson: I think the only difference is sometimes when I'm out in public, people will call me "Francis"
chris_masterson: which I don't like.

megan: do you play pool as well as your character?
chris_masterson: No, I'm pretty good at pool. I used to have a pool table in my house.
chris_masterson: But Francis seems to be quite the expert. I think if I had to play him, I would definitely lose.

hihi: Did you really buy Laura a horse?
chris_masterson: Yes, I did.
chris_masterson: I bought her an Arab named Shasheem.
chris_masterson: They seem to be a good match. They're both quite feisty.

JenniferJ: What was your fave school subject?
chris_masterson: I'd say my favorite school subject was history.
chris_masterson: My least favorite subject was math.

Owen: what actors do you look up too?
chris_masterson: I'm most impressed by Lili Taylor, Gary Oldman and John Malkovich.
chris_masterson: They're all very versatile and are the most believable as their characters that I have ever seen.

Coolness: have you had any doubts about acting?
chris_masterson: Before I make a choice as an actor, I think about that choice for quite a while.

chris_masterson: So by the time that I actually do it, it doesn't really matter to me whether it was the right choice or the wrong one.
chris_masterson: It's more important that I pull it off for myself.

chrisyoutheman: What would you never do for a role? Where would you cross the line?
chris_masterson: I would never molest an animal. It's just too easy.

luvlygurl: so babe what are you doing on halloween?
chris_masterson: I'm staying at home and feeding candy to hungry trick-or-treaters.

riogirl14: Are you in college or plan on going to college?
chris_masterson: I went to film school for one year, but I found that with my work schedule, I really couldn't give it my all.
chris_masterson: So I'm taking a break until I have more time.

OneyBaloney: Hey Chris, its Eryn, I was wondering, do you plan on working in any movies soon, or have any movies in the process, thanks! Luv ya!
rollergirl16: are you going to be in any upcoming films?
chris_masterson: I did a film for VH1 called "Back in Black."
chris_masterson: I've kind of been taking it slow as far as films are concerned because of my schedule.
chris_masterson: I'm also waiting for a project that really interests me.

MITM_FANATIC: MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE IS THE BEST SHOW EVER! DO YOU PLAN TO STAY ON THE SHOW AS LONG AS IT AIRS?
chris_masterson: Thank you!
chris_masterson: I definitely would want to be part of "Malcolm" for at least the next few years.
chris_masterson: But that's about as far ahead as I can see right now, but I love the show.

Owen: what types of projects interest you the most?
chris_masterson: I don't have any one type, but if I read a script and I'm at all scared to play that kind of part, I usually know that that is a good part for me.

chrisyoutheman: Where do you see yourself in 5 years, ten years?
chris_masterson: I don't know.
chris_masterson: I can say that in 5 months from now, I'll be working on the show and hopefully have gone to Europe for a while.
