Could the stars of That '70s Show be any cooler (or funnier)?!? The cast of the retro sitcom gave us the latest scoop on their new season and all the dishy details of what makes their show rock. Groovy!
TOPHER GRACE (ERIC FOREMAN)
Character sketch: "Eric's the most conservative of the group; he's torn between his parents and his friends and his relationship with Donna, the girl next door. When I started, I wasn't very comfortable because I'd never acted before - I'd done, like, three school plays - so they built the character
with me. As I became more confident as an actor, Eric became more confident that this girl could like him and be in a relationship with him.
Fave episodes : "The Pill, because it deals with something that was an issue in the '70s and is still an issue in the '90s. And our wrestling and Star Wars episodes. And also that last scene with Donna and Eric in the back seat of the car where we had a heart-to-heart because we're best friends."
Dream storyline : "I'd like to do a That '80s Show episode, kind of a flash-forward. I'd really like to see what Fez is like in five years and know the conclusion of Eric and Donna's relationship."
Shhh... : "I think some of the second season will deal with whether or not Eric and Donna have sex. And more making out on TV for me with Laura Prepon! [laughing] She's a buddy I can make out with in front of 10 million people and not feel embarrassed."
MILA KUNIS
(JACKIE BURKHARDT)
Character sketch : "Jackie is a misunderstood, spoiled brat. She's very controlling and defenitly wants everything to be her way. 'No' isn't in her vocabulary. You can't relate to her, butyou'll always know someone in high school who's just like her."
Fave character : Fez. It's so funny to watch him. Every line he does with that little accent, even it's just "Hi! How are you?" makes me laugh so much."
Fave episodes : The prom one and the disco episode. We got to take discodancing lessons for that one with the choreographer from Austin Powers.
Dream storyline : "I want a bunch of hot guys to guest-star as my classmates : Ryan Phillippe, Freddie Prince Jr., Mark Hoppus from blink-182 and Brendan Fraser."
Shhh... : "Kelso will keep cheating on me with [Eric's sister] Laurie."
The clothes: "It's all very, very, very tight. If you're not a size 2, you're basically screwed. My favorite is this pair of rainbow socks that go up to your knees and have seperate
pockets for each toe."
Between takes : I usually have school on the set, but everyone else hangs out and plays Nintendo 64."
Up next : Mila continue as te voice of Meg on Family Guy.
DANNY MASTERSON
(STEVE HYDE)
Character sketch : "Hyde's a cool dude, but a little dysfunctional 'cause he's got no family. But he's pretty smart for having no guidance in life, and he's a lot more worldly and mature because he's had to be independant. He's sarcastically funny. And he's really paranoid."
Fave character : Fez. Wilmer's just got it - he's a really good actor."
Dream storyline : "Hyde gets into the adult film industry and stars making films with Donna's mom, Midge."
Great expectations : "I don't want to go down the same old road that every show does where they have the gay episode and the family crisis episode and the alcohol episode. That stuff bores me. I just wanna stay weird, to keep doing stuff that's never been done on TV."
The clothes : "My sunglasses on the show are the ultimate '70s pimp look."
Between takes : "We play GoldenEye 007 [on Nintendo 64] and watch a lot of videos. It's a pretty short day, so you don't find yourself bored a lot of the time."
Up next : Danny will direct a short film called Rolling Hills Prophesy, and he'll star in three independant films that'll be out next year.
WILMER VALDERRAMA
(FEZ)
Character Sketch: "Fez is very sweet, very adorable and very naive. He loves his friends, he loves to find out new things about America and he loves to speak his mind. But when he does, sometimes he says things he shouldn't - like calling everyone 'whore!'"
Name game: "No one really knows where Fez is from. There have been clues, like he dances the samba, he speaks Dutch, he worships feet. But even I don't know." No one knows Fez's real name either. Fez is just a nickname for "foreign exchange student."
Shhh...: "Fez will find a love interest this season. I think it'll be a guest star, and she's a really awesome star, but I can't give it away." But Wilmer gave us this hint: She's famous for her work in TV and movies.
The clothes: "They're so tight that you have to be very careful when you sit down. I've busted a pair of pants-twice! My favorite outfit is the baby-blue tuxedo I wore in the prom episode. I wanted to wear it to my own prom."
Between takes: "One time, Topher and I stole a golf cart from the studio and drove it all over, in the street, around the lot, everything. The security guards reported it to the creators of the show but Topher was like, "What are they going to say?"
LAURA PREPON
(DONNA PINCIOTTI)
Character sketch : Donna is like the girl next door. She's kind of a tomboy. She's honest, and I think people feel like they can relate to her. I am so like Donna it's funny. And most of my friends are guys too."
Love life : "I'm Eric's best friend as well as his girlfriend. In my real life, there was this boy named Jared who lived up the street from me. We used to date, and now he's one of my best friends. So the Eric-Donna relationship is actually really close to me."
Dream storyline : "To have Scott Speedman from Felicity on the show and be a gueststar. I love him!"
The clothes : "My vintage Levi's are my favorite on the show, 'cause they really fit. Toward the end of last season, Donna started getting a little more feminine, but she would never start wearing a lot of makeup and dresses. I wouldn't let that happen either."
Between takes : "Me and Topher and Wilmer have these major water fights. We'll grab a bottle of water in each hand and hide behind a dressing room door. A lot of nights I went home soaking wet."
Up next : Laura just finished her first movie, an untitled independant flick, where she plays a bratty little sister who won't take crap from anyone.
ASHTON KUTCHER
(MICHAEL KELSO)
Character sketch : "Kelso is a friggin' idiot! He comes from a large family and has lots of brothers and sisters, but he came last, so by then his parents were tired of answering all their kids' questions. He's very book smart, but a little lacking in common sense."
Fave character : "Red [Eric's dad]. Because he reminds me of my dad."
Fave episode : "Painting a pot leaf on the water tower. I mean, who does that?"
Dream storyline : "I want to do a tornadoe episode where all of the kids and all the parents get stuck in the basement together, and we see what happens when the parents are in our territory."
Shhh.... : "I'm cheating on Jackie with Eric's sister Laurie, but I think that Jackie and I are going to stay together in the long run."
The clothes : "I love my UFO jeans and puka shell necklace. My puka shells are dope!"
Between takes : "We chill out and play Nintendo 64 all day. It's all about Goldeneye 007 and 1080, a snowboarding game."
Up next : Ashton appears in Reindeer Games with Ben Affleck and stars as Jim Morrison in Down to You with Julia Stiles and Freddie Prince Jr. (both out this winter), and he'll be in Texas Rangers with James Van Ber Geek (out next summer).
