If you don't already know who Ashton Kutcher is by now then it isn't your fault you don't own a television set, or a copy of US Weekly. Welcome to the biography section, written in brief below is information crucial for any Ashton fan to know. Yes it pries a bit into his personal life, however it's always interesting to know about the celebrities WE invest OUR money, and time into for the sake of entertainment.
Ashton Kutcher as most of you know him as today was actually born as Christopher Ashton Kutcher on February 7th 1978 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Larry & Diane Kutcher are the proud parents of Ashton and his 5 minutes apart fraternal twin brother Michael. At the fragile age of 13 Ashton's parents Larry & Diane divorced and both were later remarried (to separate spouses). That same year Ashton's brother received a heart transplant (as his brother suffered from Cardiomyopathy ).
Fast forward to two years later, with Ashton now 15 years old, his mother Diane packed up the whole family along with her husband and moved to Homestead Iowa where Ashton was enrolled for schooling at Clear Creek Amana. Prior to his move in 7th grade Ashton made his some what theatrical debut in a school play "The Crying Princess and the Golden Goose". During his senior year Ashton was offered one of the lead roles in a school production "Annie". However he later ended up losing the part due to a misdemeanor (vandalism, a story he has shared several times early on in his career).
After graduating in 1996 Ashton attended the University of Iowa. His decision was strongly influenced by his brothers surgery to study biochemical engineering in hopes of finding a way to help people with Cardiomyopathy. As a side job and means to pay for college Ashton worked at a General Mills factory earning $10 an hour, sweeping the floors.
However fate would have it differently and while at a local bar a modeling agent suggested he enter the Fresh Faces of Iowa modeling contest. The first prize was a trip to New York City to compete in the 1997 International Model and Talent Agency competition (if you're wondering, yes Ashton won). While in New York Ashton signed to the Next Agency. In no time Ashton was traveling across the world and modeling where he could for print ads (including Abercrombie) and runways for top fashion designers such as Calvin Klein, Versace, and Tommy Hilfiger.
In 1998 Ashton went to Hollywood during pilot season to try out for TV shows. Ashton was presented with 2 auditions on the same day. 1 for "Wind On Water" and the other was for Fox's "That '70s Show". Ashton was then left with a dilemma as he had landed both shows and was forced to decide between either. "Wind On Water" was shortly canceled, luckily Ashton had made the right decision and chose That '70s Show, and quickly became an instant star as the loveable, comedic doofus Michael Kelso.
Ashton stayed on That 70's Show for 6 seasons, he was reportedly earning an estimated $250,000 to $300,000 per episode in his latter days of T7S. Ashton and Topher Grace both decided not to sign on for a 7th season, however Ashton made reoccurring appearance on forthcoming episodes, showing his loyalty and commitment to the show and fans. Meanwhile it was reported that Ashton and Topher were not that close on set, Ashton did find great friendships in Wilmer Valderama and Danny Masterson, the trio are business partners on a restaurant Dolce. During his stint on That 70's Show, Ashton's stardom soared, especially after his much publicized relationship with Demi Moore.
Wanting to conquer all aspects of his craft Ashton has branched out into producing. He's credited with producing 2 of his films including a credit as executive producer on The Butterfly Effect, and a co-producer credit on My Boss' Daughter. He is also credit with co-creating his most successful production venture a little hidden camera "reality TV" series called Punk'd. Punk'd has Ashton starring and producing his very own show where he plays practical jokes on celebrities. The show has been well received by viewer, proof of this is it's 7 season stretch on MTV. The show also helped Ashton earn two 2003 Teen Choice Award surf board (Choice Reality/Variety Host and Choice TV Reality Hunk).
From the television screen to the big screen, Ashton has had small roles in films such as Down to You and Reindeer Games, which both were released in 2000. His first major role was in Dude, Where's My Car alongside American Pie's Seann William Scott. Ashton then made a 180 with his next film project. Breaking out of the mold with a more serious turn alongside James Van Der Beek in 2001's Texas Rangers. A return to comedy wasn't far behind with a role in My Boss's Daughter formerly known as The Guest scheduled to be released later that same year. However the movie was pushed back to late February 2003, and then pushed back again when Ashton and Brittany Murphy (of 8 Mile fame) scored a hit with their romantic comedy Just Married. Ashton was next seen in a minor role in Cheaper by the Dozen. That was followed by The Butterfly Effect, which to this day is a major fan favorite.
Although Ashton has yet to garner that critical acclamation, no one can deny his talent and ability to entertain, to make us laugh. Ashton can next be seen in The Guardian.
