He also has a paternal half brother Will Masterson. A child model from age 4, who was featured in magazine articles as well as television commercials beginning at age 5, Masterson starred in musicals as a child at the age of eight, and began acting as well. His singing voice `` disappeared '' by the time he was a teenager. By the time he was sixteen, he had appeared in over one - hundred commercials, including ones for Swift Premium, Kellogg 's Frosted Flakes, Hardee 's, Hostess, Tang, and Clearasil. Career Acting career In the early 1990s, Masterson had a role in Beethoven 's 2nd, and starred as Justin in Cybill. These roles launched a film career, including a minor role in the John Travolta film Face / Off. After starring in the third and fourth seasons of Cybill, Masterson decided he wanted to move on from Cybill and audition for a show originally titled Teenage Wasteland, which later was changed to That ' 70s Show. The original casting director for That ' 70s Show, Debby Romano, resisted Masterson 's audition because he was slightly older than the rest of the cast, but ultimately allowed him to audition. She stated that, `` he came in and he was just so funny, '' and that he redefined where the role was going and made the role of Steven Hyde the, `` tough, funny guy. '' Masterson appeared in all eight seasons of That ' 70s Show. His appearance on That ' 70s Show launched a breakthrough in Masterson 's career, allowing him to pursue other endeavours between tapings. After the show concluded Masterson starred in several movies and made guest appearances on television shows including Punk 'd and MADtv. Along with Kutcher and Valderrama, he co-hosted the Fox TV special Woodstock 1999. He had a role in the 2008 comedy Yes Man. Masterson stars with his real - life wife, Bijou Phillips, in the 2009 drama The Bridge to Nowhere. In 2011, Masterson guest starred as James Roland in USA Network 's White Collar ( episode `` Where There 's A Will '' ). He portrayed Jerry Rubin in the 2010 movie, The Chicago 8, written and directed by Pinchas Perry. The Chicago 8 is a film based on the actual Chicago Eight in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and explores the events around the trial. It was filmed in September and October 2009. The film is based closely on the trial transcripts and most of the action takes place in the courtroom. In 2012, the comedy series Men At Work premiered on TBS, co-starring Masterson and Michael Cassidy, James Lesure and Adam Busch. In 2012, Masterson appeared in the film Alter Egos, directed by Jordan Galland. Masterson starred alongside Sam Elliott, Ashton Kutcher, and Elisha Cuthbert in the Netflix comedy series The Ranch. Music Masterson began DJing at Los Angeles night clubs in 1999 as a hobby, but it soon became a side business.

Rape allegations In March 2017, four women alleged that they were raped by Masterson in the early 2000s, prompting a Los Angeles Police Department investigation. Masterson, through his agent, has denied the allegations, and Masterson has not been charged or arrested. In response to the accusations, Netflix fired Masterson from its comedy series The Ranch on December 5, 2017, saying in a statement, `` Yesterday was his last day on the show, and production will resume in early 2018 without him. '' Masterson stated that he is `` obviously very disappointed in Netflix 's decision to write my character off of The Ranch.
