Eric on "That '70s Show"

Topher Grace portrays Eric Forman, the level-headed 17-year-old who is the center of the retro view of Wisconsin on THAT '70s SHOW.

Grace, whose talents were brought to the attention of producers Bonnie and Terry Turner, was discovered while performing in a New Hampshire prep-school production of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." He has been praised for his wry, subtle portrayal of Eric Forman in THAT '70s SHOW which marked his network television debut.
Grace studied at the renowned Groundlings Improvisation School as well as the Neighborhood Playhouse. His theater credits include a leading role in "Our Town." He completed his freshman year at the University of Southern California, but left college to star on "That '70s Show."

More recently, Grace co-stared in Steven Soderberg's Oscar nominated film "Traffic." In the film, which stars Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, Grace played a drug user who drew Michael Douglas' daughter into cocaine and heroine addiction.

A native New Yorker, Grace currently resides in Los Angeles.
