Biography
Rising to fame as the dimwitted hunk Kelso on "That '70s Show" (Fox, 1998-2006), Kutcher proved that he had both beauty and brains by surprisingly becoming an entertainment mogul. While his films like "Dude, Where's My Car?" (2000) or "What Happens in Vegas" (2008) were typical lowbrow comedy fare, Kutcher had the last laugh, branching out more extensively than any other actor of his generation as producer of such successes as "Punk'd" (MTV, 2003-07) and "Beauty and the Geek" (The WB, 2005-06; The CW, 2007-08). His marriage to A-list actress Demi Moore raised his public profile, and the two settled into what seemed to be one of Hollywood's more stable and fascinating relationships, amidst continued media head-scratching over their age difference and unusually close friendship with Moore's ex-husband, Bruce Willis. Despite the couple's separation in 2011, Kutcher remained a popular celebrity, amassing the most-ever followers on Twitter, though that feat often failed to translate into major box office dollars as evidenced by "Killers" (2010) and "No Strings Attached" (2011). He made major headlines when he took over for Charlie Sheen - who was fired after a very public meltdown - on the popular sitcom, "Two and a Half Men" (CBS, 2003-2015), which held onto its status as a ratings juggernaut while raising Kutcher's unlikely celebrity profile even further. After starring as Apple Computers founder Steve Jobs in the biopic "Jobs" (2013), Kutcher returned to television in the western comedy "The Ranch" (Netflix 2016- ).
