Judd Apatow’s latest production, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, opens Friday. That 70’s Show alum Mila Kunis plays one of the main romantic interests in the movie. It’s nice to see that some of those alums are still getting offered some prominent roles.
It was a pretty good show for the most part and it always seemed like the cast would go onto bigger things, but this is yet to happen. Of course Ashton Kutcher was quite the star back in 2004 around the time of the Punk’d heyday, but it seems that just because audiences liked to watch him pull pranks on celebrities and then laugh obnoxiously in their faces, it doesn’t mean they’re going to rush out to see him do drama in The Butterfly Effect or The Guardian. His star never took off and now he’s probably most well known for being Demi Moore’s husband.
I always thought Topher Grace had the most talent of the group, so I saw him going on to bigger and better things. He did land one of the villain roles in Spiderman 3, which is a pretty big deal, but I haven’t seen him in anything else recently. Maybe he’ll have a later career resurgence.
I never thought Fez was funny and Wilmer Valdrerama always annoyed the B. Jesus outta me so I didn’t see him going anywhere besides home with whatever girl at the club was impressed with a guy who scored a gig on a long-running sitcom by saying stupid things in a funny accent.
As far as the rest of them, I don’t know. Laura Prepon has potential, but I haven’t seen her in anything recently. Danny Masterson is pretty good at playing a Zeppelin lovin, cocaine glasses wearin, stoner, but I’m not sure I can imagine him doing much else.
Kunis’ career might take off a little if Forgetting Sarah Marshall is a hit, which is a definite possibility. Of course she is also the voice of Meg Griffin on Family Guy, which should keep her working for quite a while.
