Steven James Hyde , often referred to just by his surname, is a
fictional character from the Fox sitcom That '70s Show, portrayed by
Danny Masterson. He is Eric Forman's (Topher Grace) best friend and by
the end of season one, his de facto adopted brother. Hyde is portrayed
throughout the series as loving rock and roll, being
anti-establishment, a pothead, and a borderline alcoholic.Hyde is
abandoned by his mother, Edna (Katey Sagal), who only appears in three
episodes, two of which feature only her screaming voice calling from
inside Hyde's house. His stepfather, Bud (Robert Hays), had left some
years earlier when he got back together with Edna but they didn't tell
Hyde of their whereabouts. A half brother was mentioned once in a
Season 8 episode, though not much is known about him.Hyde's best
friend, and later foster-brother, is the nice, geeky Eric Forman. The
two share probably the closest friendship out of the group, shown by
how they care and rely on one another and one another's advice. He
first met Forman in 1968 when he walked to Forman's home with him to
protect him from Donna. Forman’s mother Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp), upon
seeing that Hyde was dirty, made Eric and Hyde bathe together. When
Hyde's mother leaves town at the end of the first season, Eric tries
to persuade his parents to do something about his best friend's living
conditions and thus Hyde is invited to live with the Formans, which
Hyde does from season one until the series' end. He is adopted into
the Forman family, and lives in the basement of their house. Since
there are no extra bedrooms, he sleeps in a small storage room on a
cot. When Forman’s father Red (Kurtwood Smith) kicks Hyde out after
the latter is arrested for drug possession, Eric attempts to come to
his rescue.Hyde finds a job working at the Foto Hut with his
burned-out hippie boss Leo (Tommy Chong). Hyde and Leo become good
friends until Leo leaves town. During his tenure in the Foto Hut, he
is the more responsible worker between himself and Leo, even telling
his own boss off for not doing his job. Hyde and Leo's friendship
resumes when Leo returns near the end of Season 7. He gives the money
he makes to Red and Kitty to help them pay the bills. It is evident
that Hyde has a sense of propriety and responsibility to rival that of
Eric's, yet is not proud of it as he is more accustomed to his stoner
lifestyle. Steven Hyde Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
