Ashton Kutcher was born and raised in Homestead, Iowa (pop. 100), where
he lived on a farm with his parents, older sister and twin brother. To
finance the cost of his education in bio-chemical engineering at the
University of Iowa, Kutcher worked as a cereal dust sweeper at the General
Mills plant in Cedar Rapids. After being discovered by a local model/talent
scout, he moved to New York to pursue acting.
Since his arrival in New York in August 1997, Kutcher has landed roles in a
national Pizza Hut commercial, a NYU student film entitled "Distance," and a
Calvin Klein Jeans campaign. Most recently, he completed a role opposite
Gaby Hoffman in the independent film "Coming Soon."
In his spare time Kutcher enjoys fishing, playing golf and chess. He
currently divides his time between New York and Los Angeles.
