Mike Katzif/NPRTo many, Topher Grace may still be best known for his role as Eric Forman on the late 1990s coming of age sitcom That '70s Show. But it's not like he's been resting on his laurels since then. Just in the past year, the actor has appeared in the Oscar-winning Spike Lee film BlacKkKlansman, and in a fifth season episode of Netflix's techno-pessimistic anthology series, Black Mirror. And away from the camera, Grace hosts a podcast called Minor Adventures with Topher Grace, wherein he takes his friends from the entertainment industry out for a surprise activity — from undergoing a lie detector test with comedian Whitney Cummings to marrying a couple with actor Zachary Levi. In an interview Ophira Eisenberg, host of NPR's Ask Me Another, Grace joked that when he was initially approached about hosting his own podcast, nearly declined. "I'm too boring. Legitimately, I'm too boring," he said, on stage at the Bell House in Brooklyn, New York. "My wife and I always joke that if we did a reality show it would be about us watching reality shows."

Mike Katzif/NPRLong before Grace became a professional actor, he was cast as the lead in the high school play during his senior year. It was there where he happened to be seen by the parents of one of his classmates who did set design for school production — they happened to well-known Hollywood producers and screenwriters Bonnie and Terry Turner. Later, during his first year of college at the University of Southern California, Grace was cold-called by Bonnie Turner, who encouraged him to audition for the lead in her latest project, which would become That '70s Show, Unprepared to try out for such a serious acting job, Topher showed up, not with the typical professional headshot, but rather "the picture was me and my friends just at Six Flags," he recalled. Still, he landed the part and he soon found himself on a hit show on Fox. More recently, Grace has become something of a self-taught film editor. With a friend who edits trailers professionally, Grace once spent a full weekend cutting all ten Star Wars films into a single compact trailer. "This is how dorky it's gotten for us," he joked about how committed the two friends have become about a hobby-turned-job that stemmed from idle curiosity. After Disney representatives saw the trailer online, they reached out to Grace and offered to pay them to create something similar for the Toy Story franchise. "So now it's like a side-hustle kind of fun thing that we do," Grace explained. There are more projects in the works, but Grace acknowledged that they are, for now, under wraps, and protected by Non-Disclosure Agreements. For his Ask Me Another challenge, Topher Grace was joined by Arturo Castro for a game that taps into his deep love of cereal — titled, Part of This Complete Breakfast.

| Posted: 25 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT LOVE Island viewers have slammed the "most boring episode ever" as they begged for the return of the lie detector test. Fans were disappointed with tonight's instalment of the show, which heavily revolved around the couples going on their final dates ahead of Monday's final.  4 The instalment actually got off to a promising start when multiple couples were seen getting frisky at the beginning of the show. While Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague's bed was rocking vigorously while they got down to business, Maura Higgins was seen being snubbed by partner Curtis Pritchard. The Irish beauty later slammed the 23-year-old dancer, telling the other girls that she wanted "an orgasm, not coffee" - but it wasn't enough to salvage the "boring" and "waste of time" episode. In fact, many fans called for the iconic lie detector challenge to be brought back to jazz up the last few episodes after it was sensationally axed.  4 One wrote: "I'm sorry but WHEN THE F*** is the lie detector test?" Another added: "These dates are cute n all but where's the drama??? Two words: LIE DETECTOR." A third said: "The final dates part of Love Island are boring as f***... Get the lie detector out and bring in the parents." Tonight's episode featured Curtis and Maura, Ovie Soko and India Reynolds, and Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea's final dates. It is expected that tomorrow's show will include Molly-Mae and Tommy, and Anton Danyluk and Belle Hassan's as the series draws to an end. However, there was no preview for the next episode at the end of today's - leaving viewers hopeful that something exciting could be around the corner. Although fans criticised the "boring" dates, many also flocked to social media to slam Curtis for "recreating" his date with ex Amy Hart as he wooed new squeeze Maura.  4 Maura and Curtis have their last date together on Love Island Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that Curtis pulled the same slow dance move with both women - and even clocked that both Amy and Maura wore orange outfits for the occasion. Love Island comes to an end on Monday night, where Caroline Flack will crown this year's winners. However, disappointed fans have called for the £50,000 prize fund to be donated to charity this year as they slammed the lack of stable relationships so late in the series.  4 Got a story? email digishowbiz@the-sun.co.uk or call us direct on 02077824220.
