Eric Albert Forman is a fictional character in Fox Network's That '70s
Show, portrayed by Topher Grace. Eric is based on the adolescence of
show creator Mark Brazill. Most of the show takes place at Forman's
home, particularly in the basement where he and his five friends hang
out.Being the show's main character for the first seven seasons, Eric
appears in many storylines. The show opens on May 17, 1976 with Eric,
a scrawny, socially awkward 16-year-old, dealing with his ever-evident
and growing crush on the girl next door, Donna Pinciotti (whom he
first met in 1968 during which Pinciotti punched him in the guts
because he was staring creepily at her). During the pilot , Eric
obtains the signature 1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser and takes it out
of town, despite his father's warnings not to. This, evidently,
impresses Donna and leads to the pair's first kiss. The next episode,
Eric's Birthday set on March 17, 1976 (originally making him born in
1959), sees the pair dealing with their kiss as well as Eric's
long-awaited 17th birthday. As the series progresses, Eric's friends'
influence over him begins to surface as he finds himself arrested due
to Michael Kelso being caught driving a stolen car while he was a
passenger, due to an earlier ban on his Vista Cruiser. Eric and Donna
soon share a first date, but all goes awry as Donna becomes
intoxicated due to a mix-up with the drink order, causing an awkward
and uncomfortable experience for Eric. During the high school prom,
the two decide to rent a nearby motel room for after, though
ultimately decide not to engage in intercourse after receiving the
attention of fellow students.Coinciding with the beginning of his
relationship with Donna, Eric must deal with killing his grandmother
when he screamed at her, sharing a rare bonding moment with his father
Red, and his best friend Hyde's abandonment. It is Eric who ultimately
decides that Hyde should move in with them. Season 2's episode,
"Halloween" revealed that it was Eric who causes Hyde's downward
spiral to rebellious stoner due to Eric framing Hyde for the
destruction of a classmates school work. The pair end up in an
argument, but all is resolved as they choose to forget it ever
happened. Eric is suspended from school for smoking on school property
after taking the blame but is allowed to return to school when the
truth is later revealed. He also received his first steady job from
his father at PriceMart and Donna and Eric lose their virginity to
each other at Midge and Bob's renewal wedding vows.Throughout season
three, the pair's relationship holds a steady foundation despite
Eric's constant awkward antics, such as accidental sexism and pantsing
Donna. However, things take a turn for the worse as Eric's offer for a
promise ring is rejected by Donna and he decides that if she doesn't
see a future with him they should break up. Despite it being his
decision, this leads him to spiral into depression, dreaming at one
point what it would be like if he had never dated Donna. He is angered
on several occasions as Donna deals with their breakup and the
downfall of her parents' marriage by acting insultingly toward him,
even publishing in the school's newspaper a story that parallels their
relationship. He is also resentful of her relationship with Kelso's
older brother Casey, who is offensive and smug. When Donna begins
acting out due to Casey's influence, Eric becomes concerned but
refuses to take her back the evening Casey breaks up with her. Eric Forman Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
