Edit
  • 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").
  • Quotes
    I love playing villains. When you're a bad guy, you get to do many real nasty things. It's a lot of fun.
