A couple that Twitters together stays together… or at least that seems to be the mantra that Twittering couple Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher seem to follow. Ashton boasts the title of first Tweeter (Twitterer?) to have more than a million followers, and with them he’s shared his consideration to star in Neil LaBute’s Broadway production of “Fat Pig.” It will be this former model’s first time setting foot on stage, but certainly not his first time in the spotlight.

Ashton was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he grew up and attended Washington High School before moving to Tiffin, Iowa, where he attended the Clear Creek-Amana High School. The move to the new school prompted his involvement in school plays and he also took a place on the football team, although his brother’s heart ailment would motivate him to major in biochemical engineering when he attended the University of Iowa.

While in college, Ashton was approached by a scout in an Iowa City bar called The Airliner. He entered the “Fresh Faces of Iowa” modeling competition, which earned him first place and a trip to New York City for the International Modeling and Talent Association (IMTA) convention. Although he didn’t win, he still signed with Next modeling agency in New York, which landed him gigs in Calvin Klein ads, jobs modeling in Paris and Milan, and a spot in a Pizza Hut commercial. He headed to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career.

Ashton’s first audition secured his role in the TV series That ’70s Show, followed by a series of movie roles such as Dude, Where’s My Car?, Just Married, and The Butterfly Effect. With success on his side, he continued to produce and star in his own series called Punk’d on MTV, as well as executive produce several reality shows, thanks in part to his co-owned production company Katalyst Films.

Ashton continues to dabble in modeling, acting, and as an entrepreneur, but it is his comedic personality and his marriage to Demi that seems to gain him the most attention.

What do you think of Ashton on Broadway? A natural progression or totally out of his element?
