"Malcolm" Bro in the Middle of Space

TMZ has learned that Justin Berfield, aka the dude who played the second-oldest bro on "Malcolm in the Middle," will be going to space with Richard Branson. Rewind: That dude has the coin to blow $250K on a 150-minute space trip? Apparently so.

Berfield has ponied up for a seat on Virgin Galactic's White Knight Two, which should be ready for flight in a couple years. The celebs and rich people on board will go up in space for two-and-a-half hours, including five minutes of actual weightlessness.

Turns out that the actor/producer just loooooooves Chief Virgin Richard Branson and that his production company J2TV has ties to Virgin Unite, Branson's charity arm.

The White Knight Two is the plane that will carry the rocket plane to it's launch altitude. The SpaceShipTwo will carry Justin Barfield into space.

"4. Justin played the oldest son, Malcom was the middle child,, HELLO!"

Did you even watch the show at all??

Christopher Kennedy Masterson (aka Francis on the show) was the oldest.
