[edit] Biography

In 2006, Chris took on a starring role in two independent film projects: Waterborne and Intellectual Property. Waterborne is a story about a group of Los Angeles residents who attempt to cope with life after a terrorist attack against their water supply. Waterborne premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival and won the Audience Award. Chris embarked his second project, Intellectual Property, as the leading role and as a producer. Set in the midst of the Cold War, Masterson is Paul, an inventor who goes to great lengths to protect his inventions.

Before Waterborne and Intellectual Property, Chris also starred in the Wayans' Brothers film, Scary Movie 2 where he played "Buddy", a college student who has an uncanny knack for lacking social skills -especially when dealing with girls. He also appeared in Nice Guys Finish Last, a film directed by Robert B. Martin, Jr., about a nice guy's quest for the perfect date.

Additional television credits include the VH1 anthology series "Back in Black," in which he and Eric Roberts played serial killers, "The Road Home" and Disney's "What's Up?" for which he served as host. He has also guest starred on numerous shows, including "Touched by an Angel," "Dr. Quinn: Medicine Women," "Millennium," "Murphy Brown," "The Client," and the successful USA show "The Dead Zone.” Perhaps the most comedic was his guest appearance in three episodes of FOX's hit series "That 70's Show" where he played Todd, the manager of a cheese shop.
