Danny Masterson is an American actor best known for his role as Steven Hyde in the TV comedy series "That '70s Show," which aired from 1998 to 2006. This role launched his career, and he appeared in all eight seasons of the show. In addition to "That '70s Show," Masterson acted in various movies and TV series, including "Men at Work" and "The Ranch".
However, Masterson's career has been overshadowed by serious legal issues. In 2023, he was convicted of raping two women in 2003 and sentenced to 30 years to life in prison. The crimes took place while he was a member of the Church of Scientology, which was criticized for attempting to delay justice. His character was written out of "The Ranch" and was not included in the sequel series "That '90s Show" due to these allegations.
His legal team is seeking to overturn the conviction, arguing that he did not receive a fair trial, but as of now, he remains incarcerated.
Masterson was born on Long Island, New York, in 1976 and has several siblings who are also actors. He has been married to Bijou Phillips since 2011 and they have a child together.
