SUPERTEEN

Justin celebrated his 14th birthday with Frankie Muniz at his fave hangout, Six Flags Magic Mountain. The two teen actors are very good friends off the set of Malcolm in the Middle. Justin says, "He's so easy to talk to, because we're the same age. We talk about everything - he knows what goin' on!"

Justin's goal for the future is to become a veterinarian and attend UC Davis. He is also interested in getting into behind the camera work, such as producing, writing, or directing. That way, "if I can't act, I'll have something to fall back on."

The actor describes himself as nice, easy to talk to, fun to be around, and shy when meeting new people. He enjoys playing the part of Reese on Malcolm in the Middle, but feels there are few similarities between himself and the character. For example, Justin says that he doesn't go around beating on other people and isn't THAT stupid! He also doesn't think he's as loud as Reese. "He's always telling his mom what she's doing wrong, I would never do that."

He's a bit of a practical joker on the set of Malcolm in the Middle. "Me and little Erik are always making little jokes... but we have these clothes pins, and we always pin people on the back, and then they have to figure out who did it, me or Erik."

Do you get into fights with your sibling? When asked what his relationship with his older brother (Lorne) is like, JB responds, "We get along, but we also fight. It's weird, we can be the best of friends... or the worst of enemies. I guess what we fight about mostly though, is who has to take a shower first. But it can get way worse!"

Justin likes sleeping in and having his hair longer. He dislikes it when people think they're better than somebody, just because they have something. He doesn't like when pizza is all greasy and you need a napkin, and when drinks are all diluted. "You get them, and the ice is all melted and you can't taste anything..." JB also hates being sick because "you have to stay in bed all weekend and it's no fun!"
