The Current Projects and Shocking Status of the Point Place Crew
The career trajectories of the core six have been diverse, with significant professional milestones and one major personal crisis dominating the headlines in 2025. The cast's ongoing involvement in the spin-off, That '90s Show, acts as a continuous thread connecting their past to their present.
Topher Grace’s Return to Film and Television
Topher Grace, who played Eric Forman, has successfully transitioned from the sitcom world to serious film roles. In 2025, he is set to appear in the highly anticipated thriller Flight Risk, directed by Mel Gibson. Grace has also branched into the horror genre, joining the cast of the unique horror film Buddy, showcasing his range far beyond the Forman basement. His return for guest appearances on That '90s Show, alongside Laura Prepon as Donna Pinciotti, was a nostalgic highlight for fans, proving the chemistry between the original cast remains intact.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis: Hollywood’s Power Couple
Ashton Kutcher (Michael Kelso) and Mila Kunis (Jackie Burkhart) famously met on the set of That ’70s Show as teenagers and are now married with children. Their professional lives are heavily influenced by their commitment to family, as they strategically schedule their projects so one parent is always home. Kutcher, in particular, is known for his immense success as a venture capitalist and tech investor, which accounts for his substantial net worth, making him the richest member of the cast. Kunis continues her long-running voice role as Meg Griffin on Family Guy and focuses on producing. Both actors delighted fans with their brief but impactful appearances as Kelso and Jackie in That '90s Show, confirming their characters are still together.
Wilmer Valderrama and Laura Prepon’s Continued TV Success
Wilmer Valderrama (Fez) has had one of the most consistent post-sitcom careers in television. He is a main cast member on the long-running procedural drama NCIS, playing Special Agent Nicholas Torres. In a heartwarming personal update, Valderrama and his fiancée, Amanda Pacheco, recently announced the birth of their new baby in July 2025. This news adds a personal milestone to his already successful professional life, which includes producing and voice work.
Laura Prepon (Donna Pinciotti) achieved significant acclaim for her role as Alex Vause in the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black, a role that showcased her dramatic acting chops. In 2025, Prepon is focusing on her directing career, having previously directed episodes of Orange Is the New Black. Her return to Point Place for That '90s Show was a major draw, solidifying Donna's role as a mother to the new generation's protagonist, Leia Forman.
The Legal Status of Danny Masterson (Steven Hyde)
The most significant and somber update for the cast revolves around Danny Masterson, who played Steven Hyde. Masterson was convicted of two counts of rape and, as of 2025, is serving a sentence of 30 years to life in a California state prison. This legal outcome has cast a long shadow over the show's legacy and its stars. Masterson’s legal team filed an appeal, which remains a key point of discussion in legal and entertainment circles. Due to his conviction, Masterson did not participate in the That '90s Show spin-off, a decision that was made by the production team and respected by the rest of the cast.
The cast, particularly Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, faced public scrutiny for their initial support of Masterson before his conviction, but they later released a public statement expressing regret and support for the victims. This sensitive situation remains a difficult topic for the cast and the fan community, highlighting the stark difference between the nostalgic world of Point Place and the serious realities of the actors’ lives today.
The Enduring Legacy of the Forman Parents
No discussion of the That ’70s Show cast is complete without mentioning the parental figures who provided the show's comedic backbone and heart: Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp. Their roles as the formidable Red Forman and the sweet, yet wine-loving, Kitty Forman have proven to be the most stable and enduring.
- Kurtwood Smith (Red Forman): Smith, with an estimated net worth of $10 million, has continued his prolific career in film and television. Crucially, he and Debra Jo Rupp are the only two original main cast members who returned for That '90s Show as series regulars, providing a necessary bridge for the spin-off. His iconic catchphrases, like "Dumbass!", continue to resonate with fans.
- Debra Jo Rupp (Kitty Forman): Rupp has also maintained a steady career in various TV roles. Her return as Kitty Forman, the perpetually cheerful but often stressed mother, is central to the success of That '90s Show. Her presence, alongside Smith, ensures the classic Forman kitchen and basement remain the center of the show's universe.
From Topher Grace’s upcoming film projects and Wilmer Valderrama’s new baby to the continued success of the Forman parents and the tragic legal reality of Danny Masterson, the actors of That ’70s Show continue to lead lives as compelling and dramatic as the sitcom itself. Their collective journey is a powerful testament to the unpredictability of post-sitcom stardom.
