That ’70s Show Cast & Character Guide

Who was in the cast of That ‘70s Show and which characters did they play? Fox’s nostalgic sitcom That ‘70s Show enjoyed a successful eight-season run between 1998 and 2006, airing a total of 200 episodes. Set in the fictional town of Point Place, Wisconsin, the show followed the misadventures of a group of teenage friends as they navigated their way through adolescence and the latter half of the 1970s.

From its catchy theme tune and talented cast to its frequent pop (and pot) culture references, That 70s Show was a hit with viewers and the sitcom quickly became one of Fox’s flagship shows. Fox even attempted to recreate the sitcom’s success with spin-off That ‘80s Show. Unfortunately, despite boasting future It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia star Glenn Howerton and Chyler Leigh (aka Supergirl’s Alex Danvers), That ‘80s Show couldn’t replicate its predecessor’s magic and was cancelled after just 13 episodes.

That ‘70s Show was also responsible for kickstarting the careers of Mila Kunis, her now-husband Ashton Kutcher and Laura Prepon who would go on to join the Emmy-winning ensemble cast of Orange Is The New Black. Let’s take a look back at who else filled out the cast of That ‘70s Show along with a quick breakdown of their characters.

Topher Grace – Eric Forman

Geeky Star Wars fanatic Eric Forman was played by BlacKkKlansman star Topher Grace. Eric’s basement was the group’s main meeting place and his parents Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) acted as parental figures to his friends.

Laura Prepon – Donna Pinciotti

Eric’s neighbor and long-time girlfriend Donna was the girl next door, literally and metaphorically. She was played by Laura Prepon who nowadays is best known for playing Alex Vause on Orange Is The New Black.

Danny Masterson – Steven Hyde

Danny Masterson, who reunited with his That ‘70s Show co-star Ashton Kutcher on The Ranch, played Hyde – Eric’s best friend and the group’s resident rebel and conspiracy theorist.

Mila Kunis – Jackie Burkhart

Spoiled rich girl Jackie Burkhart was played by Mila Kunis. Jackie was the on-off again girlfriend of Ashton Kutcher’s character and the set of That ‘70s Show was where the now-married Kunis and Kutcher first met.

Ashton Kutcher – Michael Kelso

Before Punk’d and Two And A Half Men, Ashton Kutcher played Kelso on That ‘70s Show – Jackie’s pretty but dumb boyfriend who coasts along on his good looks.

Wilmer Valderrama – Fez

Wilmer Valderrama played Fez, a wannabe ladies’ man and foreign exchange student whose nationality is never revealed. After That ‘70s Show, Valderrama went on to star in From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series and NCIS.
