That 70s Show’s Main Cast

That ’70s Show is an American television period teen sitcom that aired on Fox from August 23, 1998, to May 18, 2006. The series focuses on the lives of a group of six teenage friends living in the fictional town of Point Place, Wisconsin from 1976 to 1979.

Topher Grace

From season one to season seven, Topher Grace portrayed smart-aleck teenager Eric Forman on That ’70s Show. To the delight of fans, Grace made a quick cameo in the final episode of season eight to round up his character’s journey.

Grace concentrated on his film career after leaving That ’70s Show. He played Venom in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, starred in Christopher Nolan’s 2014 blockbuster Interstellar, and his most recent breakthrough performance was in Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman.

Lisa Robin Kelly

On That ’70s Show, Lisa Robin Kelly portrayed Laurie Forman, lead character Eric Forman’s older sister, albeit her character was unceremoniously written off in the third season. It was later found that she had been coping with personal losses and had turned to alcohol to cope.

Kelly was detained in August 2010 on suspicion of driving under the influence. Kelly was arrested in 2012 on a felony charge of corporal injury to a spouse and released on $50,000 bond.

Kelly died in her sleep at a rehab facility in California on August 15, 2013, just days after checking in. Her death was determined to be the result of an undisclosed oral “multiple drug intoxication” by the Los Angeles Department of Coroner.

Laura Prepon

Laura Prepon’s breakthrough role was as Donna Pinciotti on That ’70s Show, where she stayed for the entire run. While she’s had a number of film and television appearances after the sitcom ended, including a role opposite Emily Blunt in the 2016 film The Girl on the Train, Prepon is most recognized these days for her performance as Alex Vause in the blockbuster Netflix comedy-drama series Orange Is the New Black.

Prepon is now a wife and mother off-screen. She revealed on Live with Kelly and Ryan in June 2017 that she and her fiancé, fellow actor Ben Foster, were expecting a baby girl, whom she gave birth to in August 2017. They then had a son in 2020. Prepon and Foster married in June of this year and currently reside in New York.

Ashton Kutcher

From 1998 until 2006, Ashton Kutcher portrayed Michael Kelso on That ’70s Show. At the same time, he rose to prominence as the erratic host of the MTV reality show Punk’d.

Kutcher went on to become Hollywood’s rom-com king, appearing in films like What Happens in Vegas, No Strings Attached, and Just Married. On a more serious note, he portrayed Apple’s Steve Jobs in the 2013 movie Jobs. In recent years, he has been in the Netflix series The Ranch and the Reese Witherspoon rom-com Your Place or Mine.

Kutcher divorced actress Demi Moore in November 2011, after being married to her for just over six years. Then, in a happy coincidence for That ’70s Show fans, he married his former comedy co-star Mila Kunis in July 2015. Wyatt Isabelle and Dimitri Portwood are their two children.

Mila Kunis

Mila Kunis was 14 years old when she received her first major television role as Jackie Burkhart on That ’70s Show. Her breakthrough film role came in 2008 when she played Rachel in the popular romance comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

She won critical recognition for her portrayal in the 2010 psychological thriller Black Swan, and she has subsequently starred in a string of big-budget comedies, including Friends with Benefits and the two Bad Moms films. Viewers were also enthusiastic about Netflix’s Luckiest Girl Alive.

Debra Jo Rupp

Prior to That ’70s Show, Debra Jo Rupp was best known for her recurrent role on Friends as Alice Knight-Buffay, Phoebe’s brother’s wife, with the storyline concentrating on their significant age difference.

Rupp appeared in That ’70s Show for the duration of the show, noting, “I just cried for a month when we ended ’70s Show.”

Following the success of the hit show, Rupp shifted her focus away from TV and movies and onto the theatre, starring in a number of successful plays. She has just returned to television, working on This Is Us and The Ranch, both of which star Ashton Kutcher.

Kurtwood Smith

Kurtwood Smith (aka Red Forman), Rupp’s on-screen spouse, has kept a more low-key career in the spotlight. He has continued to work on television, appearing in various guest roles, including those on 24, Resurrection, and Agent Carter. Prior to That ’70s Show, he was most recognized for his roles in RoboCop and Rambo III.

Wilmer Valderrama

Wilmer Valderrama is most remembered for his role as Fez in the sitcom That ’70s program, but he also had a successful television career after the program ended. He has appeared in recurrent parts on Grey’s Anatomy and The Ranch, and he played Nick Torres on NCIS.

He has dated actresses Lindsay Lohan, Demi Lovato, Mandy Moore, and Ashley Simpson, and is presently engaged to model Amanda Pacheco. He and Pacheco welcomed their first child, daughter Nakano Oceana Valderrama, in February 2021.

Danny Masterson

From 1998 until 2006, Danny Masterson played Steven Hyde. After the show ended, Masterson appeared in a few modest films and had guest appearances on TV shows such as Punk’d and MADtv. From 2016 through 2018, he co-starred in and executive produced The Ranch with Ashton Kutcher.

In October 2011, he married Bijou Phillips, with whom he had a daughter, Fianna Francis Masterson, born on February 14, 2014. In March 2017, four women accused Masterson of sexual assault and rape. An investigation was launched by the Los Angeles Police Department in response to the claims.

Masterson has denied the accusations. Netflix fired Masterson from The Ranch on December 5, 2017, in reaction to the allegations. In the same month, a fifth woman came forward with rape charges.

Conclusion: “That ’70s Show” not only provided viewers with laughter and nostalgia but also introduced us to a talented cast whose careers have continued to flourish in Hollywood.
