My Take
I cannot write about Danny Masterson the way I would about most actors. Yes, his Hyde on That '70s Show was a genuinely skilled piece of sitcom work, the sardonic anchor of an ensemble many of us grew up watching. But his 2023 rape convictions and the 30-years-to-life sentence are not a footnote; they are the defining fact. For me, the lesson of his entry in this database is sobering: charisma on screen tells you nothing about character off it, and fame ultimately did not place him above the law. My thoughts go first to the women he harmed.
