Ashton Kutcher is a lanky comic actor and the executive producer of wacky TV "reality" shows, including MTV's
Punk'd. Kutcher, a former model, got his big break on TV when he was cast as a guileless knucklehead (Michael Kelso) in the comedy series
That '70s Show (co-starring
Topher Grace) (1998-2006). While still working on the series, Kutcher began appearing in movies, including small roles in
Down to You (2000, starring
Freddie Prinze, Jr.) and
Reindeer Games (2000, starring
Ben Affleck). The surprise box office success of his comedy
Dude, Where's My Car? (2003) was followed by TV's
Punk'd) and bigger roles in the movies, including the lead in
The Butterfly Effect (2004) and a dramatic role in
The Guardian (2006, opposite
Kevin Costner. Kutcher's success also led to tabloid coverage of his personal life, including a high-profile romance with Brittany Murphy (his co-star in 2003's
Just Married) and his later marriage to
Bruce Willis's ex-wife, actress
Demi Moore. Since the final season of
That '70s Show he's been working with his production company, Katalyst Films, on a number of TV and online video projects (including the 2008 TV series
Miss Guided), as well as appearing on TV and in feature films (2008's
