My (Hopeful) Interview with Topher Grace

I’ve been reading about Damon Weaver’s attempts to get an inauguration day interview with President-Elect Barack Obama. If you don’t know who he is, Damon’s a 10-year-old student journalist from Florida who’s been seeking an interview with Obama since the summer. So far, no go. To this point, Obama’s team has repeatedly turned down requests, even after a national media blitz by Damon. Seriously, how do you turn down a 10 year old? He’s already interviewed Joe Biden, so now he’s after the top dog. Since I’m not nearly as ambitious as Damon, I’ve decided to set my sights a bit lower. Why shoot for the moon when the lamppost is so much easier to hit, right? So for my new year’s resolution I want to conduct an interview with Topher Grace. He played Eric on “That 70’s Show,” remember?
Anyway, it seems like he’s disappeared since leaving that show and I’m curious as to what he’s doing (and I’m too lazy to do a Google search). And unlike Damon, I’ll only throw softballs at Topher. Such as:
“Besides making out with Scarlett Johansson in the movie 'In Good Company', what are you most proud of in life?”
-And-
“What are currently doing for work? Selling real estate, life insurance, or certified pre-owned BMWs?”
But like Damon, I need your help. Please mention this to anyone and everyone. By the end of the year I want to have a face-to-face interview with Topher Grace. I will fly anywhere I need to for this, but would really appreciate it if he would come to Minneapolis so I don’t have to buy a plane ticket. I plan on challenging him to an arm-wrestling contest and besting him in a game of Nok Hockey.
Help me make my dream a reality.
