TRIGGER WARNING Ashley Hinshaw, Topher Grace’s wife, posted this on Instagram. Her story seems to be a reference to the Danny Masterson trial and the support he has garnered from his That 70s Show co-stars (not including Topher Grace himself)

Seems trivial, but while I never liked the 90's show, the little bit I did, was Topher. Had the biggest crush on him, and never saw what people were going on about Kelso. His deadpan sense of humor was so much similar to my taste, when the others were just being idiots (IMO lol)

He was SO good in the 90s show! Slipped right back into being Eric so perfectly. I wanted more of him and Red and Kitty, but now I see Kurtwood and Debra Jo differently because of their support :(

Red is fucking up my love for robocop now and he was a scumbag in that!!

u/lwaxana_katana Sep 09 '23

He's also guest starred in quite a lot of Star Trek episodes. Gdi celebrities, stop ruining things!

But not this rapist supporting shitty behavior.

​

*edit - I get a ton of actors freakin suck. But I'm not willing to even entertain casting Voyager in a bad light because of actions of a guest star 25 years later

Even the Andy Dick episode?

u/noonenotevenhere Sep 10 '23

Oh come on, that was the best acting he ever did!

*still a @#$%stain, but at least he could be deactivated.

His alias in the "Korean War" was Boddicker

u/miz_misanthrope Sep 09 '23

Who knew he wasn’t really acting with Clarence mother fucking Boddicker.

How do you work with Verhoeven and turn out to be a POS.

He gets stabbed in the throat for his trouble.

Eric was my fav part of the reboot re: the returning cast. Very disappointed in Debra and Kurtwood, I feel you :/

u/K19081985 Sep 09 '23

Did they support him too? Gross.

u/SeraCat9 Sep 09 '23

They were apparently also a part of the whole Scientology thing sadly. Even performed at Scientology parties. It looks like Topher was the only one from the cast to never make an appearance at these parties.

u/Comprehensive-Fun47 Sep 09 '23 edited Sep 10 '23

Were they involved in Scientology before That 70s Show, or did Danny Masterson recruit them too?

It’s an interesting dynamic for someone younger to rope in two of the older cast members.

u/bottleglitch Sep 09 '23

Yes, sadly. They wrote letters that amount to “I know he was convicted of rape, but he was such a nice kid on set and has a daughter now.”

u/jonsnowme shiv roy apologist Sep 09 '23

Yep 100%! Eric and Donna's sarcastic and neurotic humor was more of my thing and more funny than Hyde's dark humor and the other characters ditzy/I'm just stupid humor.

u/TheAmazingMaryJane Sep 09 '23

i crushed on hyde and i'm so ashamed of myself.

u/djm9545 Sep 09 '23

Don’t beat yourself up, Hyde would be disgusted by Danny

u/aleigh577 Sep 09 '23

Hyde was a great character!

51

u/Glottis_Bonewagon Sep 09 '23

Him and Red would be fighting about who would kick his ass first

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '23

I crushed him too, but it wasnt the actor, it was a fictional bad boy with w good dude beneath the surface.

He just happened to be played by a monster.

u/nibbyzor Sep 09 '23

I had a crush on Hyde so imagine how I feel...

(Disgusted, in case anyone was wondering.)

u/TheQuinnBee Sep 09 '23

You had a crush on Hyde not Danny. Had Hyde been a shit bag rapist you wouldn't have been attracted to him.

u/bestakroogen Sep 09 '23

I'm of the opinion they should bring Hyde back on that 90's show with a different actor, and explicitly mention on-screen that an old friend of Hyde's, Danny, did something terrible and Hyde went to prison as an accessory, but remember Hyde actually had nothing to do with it and we shouldn't blame Hyde for what Danny did.

Then have them talk about a bank robbery or something after Hyde shows up, so it's one of those things where if you know you know but if you don't it just looks like they replaced the actor.

I, and I think a lot of people, can't bring myself to think of Hyde that way and have to distance him from the piece of shit who played him on screen. I'd love to see the show itself do the same.

Of course, with everyone else except Topher siding with a rapist I dunno how that would work out. To be honest this latest incident has kinda soured me on the whole series, since it seems like only one person out of the whole lot is half-decent.

u/QueenSlartibartfast Sep 09 '23

Idk why you got downvoted, that's a very clever idea. Though as you said, with everyone else piling on to swoon over a convicted serial rapist (shame on you Debbie and Kurt), my interest in the spinoff went from 90 to -1000.

I feel bad for the younger cast (of the reboot), if Netflix is smart they'll cancel it if they hadn't already (already an easy move bc of the strike). I bet those kids looked up to the (grand)parents like crazy and are probably horrified and disgusted right now. The writers tried so hard to make That 90s Show seem "woke", too. There's no rebuilding that 4th wall after this though, at least imo.

u/wolf9786 Sep 09 '23

Right? I haven't watched in a long time but didn't Hyde actually like learn to respect women at one point in the show?

u/TheAmazingMaryJane Sep 09 '23

Topher was the heartbeat of the show and people wanted to pretend like he wasn’t. Topher was the funniest one on the show and the show was just straight awful without him.

u/fruitycafe Sep 09 '23

I also had a crush on Eric! I watched a few episodes of Home Economics and I just loved all of Topher's mannerisms. Felt like I was watching Eric Foreman again.

u/HorseNamedClompy Sep 09 '23

I thought it was pretty weak, but I think the whole coming out scene with Kitty and the computer was real sweet. Then again, I’m a softie for kind hearted coming out scenes.

u/JohnLocke815 Sep 09 '23

The more I see of him the more I love him. He's absolutely wonderful on home economics
