It certainly would be a different experience to watch reruns of a show you were part of. Not only does Topher Grace laugh along with us at some of the characters' plights' like when they tried to steal a STOP sign for Hyde's 18th birthday, but years later, it seemingly makes the actor stop to remember everything about that time in his life. That was something he stressed during a recent appearance on Sirius XM's "The Jess Cagle Show."
"It makes you so nostalgic ... It'd be like if they were rerunning your high school yearbook all the time," Grace told the show's co-host, Julia Cunningham. As he suggested, the memories might be too many at once for Grace to fully enjoy reruns.
While Grace portrayed Eric Forman on "That '70s Show," his role as the Point Place, Wisconsin, teenager was the first of his career, so reflecting on it must bring flashbacks of the excitement and uncertainty of landing such a large, first part. And because the show went on to have eight seasons with Grace being in seven of them, that's a considerable length of his life spent with his fellow castmates. While we saw Eric grow up, Grace did too.
That all said, viewers are expecting to see Grace step into Eric's shoes one more time in the upcoming Netflix spin-off "That '90s Show." It won't be the same, but it will still be an enjoyable revisit to Point Place and the memories found there.
