. Justin Tyler Berfield (born February 25,
1986) is an American actor and, recently, a producer. Berfield was born in
Los Angeles County, California to Jewish parents Richard Berfield and Gail

Coffee commercial. Since then, he has appeared in 15 other American
television commercials, giving rise to his nick-name, The Commercial
Kid. His television debut came in 1994 when he starred in The
Good Life. In 1995, he began to play the role of Ross Malloy, the
youngest sibling in The WB sitcom Unhappily Ever After,
continuing in the role for 5 seasons. However, Berfield is best known for
his portrayal of the character Reese, the second-oldest brother in the Fox
Network television sitcom Malcolm in the Middle.
He
appeared in over 100 combined episodes of Malcolm in the Middle
and Unhappily Ever After, making him the youngest person in
television history to be in over 100 episodes of two different television
shows.
In 2002, Berfield served as a national youth ambassador for
Ronald McDonald House Charities. He is the younger brother of lesser-known
actor Lorne Berfield. Justin owns two million-dollar homes in the Los
Angeles area, a recently purchased two-bedroom ocean-front condo in
Malibu, and a house in Studio City, the city where Malcolm in the
Middle is filmed.
On January 9, 2006 it has been announced that
he purchased Jessica Simpson's & Nick Lachey's mansion in Calabasas,
California, a home listed for $3.75 million. 1
