    • Trivia
      Won the role of Red Forman on 70's Show (1998) when the original choice, Chuck Norris, was unavailable because of his commitment to filming Texas Ranger (1993). The show is set near Milwaukee, WI, and he was the only cast member who actually was from Wisconsin (which is a Native American term for "land of red stone").
