Justin Tyler Berfield was born on February 25, 1986 in Pamaram City, California.  He co-stars with Frankie Muniz in the very popular TV series "Malcolm in the Middle", playing Reese, Malcolm's older brother, although in real life Justin is a few months younger than Frankie.  Before joining the crew of "Malcolm", Justin starred in several family-type movies including "Mom, Can I Keep Her" (1998), where he befriends and tries to hide and protect an  escaped gorilla, and "The Kid With X-ray Eyes" (1999), where he finds some super-secret X-ray goggles and has to keep them from the evil spies.  Prior to that, Justin played Ross Molloy on the television series "Unhappily Ever After" (1995) where, unfortunately, he was only provided a minor role.  

Justin is a third-degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, but had to put aside his martial arts to pursue his busy acting career.  He auditioned for the role of young Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace" but the role was given to Jake Lloyd instead.  Wouldn't it have been nice to see Justin in that role?
