ASHTON KUTCHER BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
| |
Kutcher was born and raised in Homestead, Iowa,
where he lived on a farm with his parents, older sister and twin
brother. To finance the cost of his education as a biochemical
engineer at the University of Iowa, Ashton worked his way
through school as a cereal dust sweeper at the General Mills
plant in Cedar Rapids. When he was in college, he was discovered
by a modeling scout, who encouraged him to enter a modeling
contest. He won and not long after, he was living in New York,
modeling for Calvin Klein. He then pursued his interest in
acting. In no time he was doing the grand circuit -- Paris and
Milan -- and strutting for big names like Calvin Klein, Tommy
Hilfiger and Versace. But Kutcher always had his eyes aimed at
another city: L.A.
In 1998, he auditioned for two upcoming TV shows: Wind on Water
and That '70s Show. Amazed that he was offered major roles in
both, Ashton struggled to choose one. He finally went with Kelso,
a decision he certainly celebrated when Wind on Water was
canceled shortly after its premiere. That '70s Show, on the
other hand, became a Nielsen hit. While he was becoming a star
to look out for on TV, Kutcher started small on the big screen,
with roles opposite James Van Der Beek and Dylan McDermott in
“Texas Rangers,” which followed his memorable starring turn in
the hit comedy, “Dude, Where’s My Car?” with Sean William Scott.
Also co-starred with Brittany Murphy in Just Married (2003). A
self-described workaholic, he starred in and co-produced My
Boss's Daughter, with Tara Reid as his love interest.
Most recently, he was seen as Jim Morrison in "Down to You
(2000)" starring Freddie Prinze Jr. and Julia Stiles. He had a
cameo in "Reindeer Games (2000)" starring Ben Affleck and Gary
Sinise, directed by John Frankenheimer, and he also appears in
the independent feature "Coming Soon" opposite Gaby Hoffman.
After a bit part in 2003's holiday comedy remake, Cheaper by the
Dozen, Ashton co-starred with Amy Smart in the hit 2004 thriller,
The Butterfly Effect, for which he also served as executive
producer. In 2005, you can catch him in A Lot Like Love and The
Dinner Party (which he is also producing), and he is set to lend
his voice to the animated feature Open Season, to be released in
2006. And if that's not enough, he hosts and produces MTV's
Punk'd, which has carried his name even farther.
At the last week of September, 2005, Ashton Kutcher has been
once again in news for marrying the popular Hollywood actor Demi
Moore, who is almost 15 years older to him. |
