With 25 years in the entertainment industry, Topher Grace has built an immensely successful career in which he has played some major roles and interesting characters that have left a lasting impression in the memories of the audience. Some of his iconic performances are in films such as Take Me Home Tonight, Truth, War Machine, Under the Silver Lake, Spider-Man 3, and many more.
However, much to the contrary belief many people believe that his most iconic role was in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 as Eddie Brock/ Venom. But, in reality, Topher Grace’s most iconic role was playing the role of Eric Forman on the hit comedy series That ’70s Show. His iconic portrayal made him a household name, but he has one regret that made him a little distant from his co-stars.
Topher Grace’s Biggest Regret At That ’70s Show
Topher Grace does not have many regrets to live with as it was very rewarding for him to play the role of Eric Forman in That ’70s Show, and its sequel series That ’90s Show. When looking back the actor does not regret playing the role of Eddie Brock/ Venom in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 but he regrets not dating his co-stars from That ’70s Show.
While appearing as a guest on the Pardon My Take podcast, the Predators actor denied the rumors of not being close to his co-stars. He explained that he was “so green” with professional acting that he spent more time focusing on his work, rather than socializing with his co-stars from the series.
“That’s not true. I love them. We get together. I love them. I was so messed up the first couple of years that a lot of the cast was more fun and would go out more. And I didn’t even date anyone the first couple of years. I was so trying to do a good job on the show. Sometimes people will say, ‘Were you not as close to them?’ and it really makes me sad because they’re all still great.”
Perhaps if Topher Grace could go back in time to fix one thing from his past, then he would have probably done things a little differently. Nonetheless, he played his role fantastically in the show which made him taste success in Hollywood.
Topher Grace Denies Rumor Of Being Reserved With That ’70s Show Co-Stars
In 2019 During an episode of Minor Adventures with Topher Grace, Wilmer Valderrama who played the role of Fez in the series, appeared on the podcast where they talked about how they were new to the industry when they met for the very first time. Grace stated that they have a text group together, and how he and Valderrama became very good friends after the show.
“Wilmer’s one of my great friends in life. To be thrown into this show together and have such a wonderful time, it’s so great when you meet someone amazing, one of your great life friends, at a real crossroads like that. It was one of the luckiest things ever, that you were on that show, for me.”
Even though many people had numerous misconceptions about the 45-year-old actor, thinking of him as reserved and aloof with his cast members from the show that made his career. But, it turns out that he was extremely close with them, giving him some of the most meaningful connections in the industry.
That ’70s Show can be streamed on Peacock Premium.
