Ashton Kutcher: Snapshot

Name: Ashton Kutcher
Date of Birth: February 07, 1978
Birth Place: Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Ashton Kutcher left the University of Iowa behind for New York when he won a Fresh Faces of Iowa modeling contest in 1997. After a brief turn strutting for Calvin Klein, Kutcher landed his breakthrough role as airhead Michael Kelso in That '70s Show.

Leveraging his good looks and goofball appeal, Kutcher created Punk'd, the MTV hidden-camera show in which he played pranks on fellow celebrities. Some wondered if he was "punking" them when he began dating actress Demi Moore, 15 years his senior, but the couple expressed their lasting commitment when they married in 2005. Moore's children from her previous marriage to Bruce Willis call Kutcher MOD, short for "my other dad."

After taking over the Internet one TMI Tweet at a time, Kutcher returned to primetime, replacing Charlie Sheen on the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men in September 2011. Two months later, after reports of marital discord, Kutcher and Moore announced they were ending their six-year marriage.
