Danny Masterson's Siblings Work in the Film Industry – Meet Christopher, Jordan, Alanna, and Will Masterson
Danny Masterson is the eldest of five siblings, born into a family that gradually grew complicated. The actor, whose sexual assault charges are being revisited this month, isn't the only of his brothers and sister who have pursued rewarding Hollywood careers.
Danny Masterson drew his first breath in Long Island, New York, on March 18, 1976. He joined the entertainment industry at only four years old as a model and spent much of his childhood pursuing a Hollywood career. He later transitioned to acting and branched into DJing and entrepreneurship.
Danny was born to Carol Masterson, a member of the Scientology Church, and Peter Masterson. His brother, Christopher Masterson, followed before their parents divorced. Little is known about his biological father, but both his parents remarried.
His mother moved on to former Australian rugby player Joe Reaiche, who assumed a father figure role in his and Christopher's lives. Joe later welcomed two more children, Alanna and Jordan Masterson, with Carol. When he married Carol, he effectively became a part of the Scientology church and rose to one of its highest echelons — the Sea Org clergy.
But when he questioned some of its beliefs and left, the religious organization cut him off from his wife and children, who he has said "are good kids" but were "mentally dead" to him. He said they were "brainwashed" to believe he was a threat to their faith. It's been over a decade, and the closest Joe has been to his kids is the TV screen.

And while they've achieved notable success, his eldest stepson's reputation was marred by sexual assault charges in the early 2000s; the case was revisited earlier this month. Still, despite this, Danny has maintained a close bond with his brothers and sister.
Christopher Masterson Is an Actor-Turned-DJ
Like Danny, Christopher was born in Long Island on January 22, 1980. He debuted on-screen at eight years old and is best known for his roles in "Malcolm in the Middle," alongside Bryan Cranston and Frankie Muniz, "Cutthroat Island," and "Scary Movie 2."
He later transitioned to DJing after being exposed to it through Danny and dabbling in it as a teenager. The 43-year-old spent two years practicing in his room until he felt confident enough to take small gigs in restaurants and house parties. He also enjoys nature adventures, as his Instagram profile suggests, but he last posted in August 2022.
Jordan Masterson Also Followed the Hollywood Path like His Older Brothers
Jordan, another Long Island native, drew his first breath on April 9, 1986. He is primarily known for his work as an actor and director with credits in "The 40-Year-Old-Virgin," "Last Man Standing," and the mini-series "The Beauty Inside." Jordan has no social media accounts and mostly stays hidden from the spotlight.

Alanna Is the Only Sister, and She Starred in 'The Walking Dead'
Alanna joined the hit series as Tara Chamber alongside Norman Reedus and Andrew Lincoln. The 34-year-old, born on June 27, 1988, is also recognized for her appearances in "Mistresses," "Grey's Anatomy," and "The Young and The Restless."
With an active social media presence, Alanna frequently updates her IG profile with snaps of herself and her loved ones, including her brothers. She has a daughter, Marlowe, from a previous relationship, whom she welcomed in November 2015. Her current beau is a man named Paul Longo, and her reported best friend is Hilary Duff.
Will Masterson Also Has Film Production Experience
Compared to his siblings, Will is the least visible to the public. He's close with his brothers; he once shared a funny throwback photo of them posing in Ireland and congratulated Danny when he became a first-time father. In May 2020, Alanna sweetly wished him a happy birthday.
Will doesn't have an IMDb page like his brothers and sister, but his online presence suggests he has experience in film production, likely working behind the scenes, from as early as 2012. He also has story highlights with behind-the-scenes photos from unknown productions but rarely provides further information about them.
