Wilmer Valderrama
as Fez
Born January 30, 1980, Wilmer Valderrama is truly living the American dream. It seems like just yesterday that Valderrama, who moved to Los Angeles from Venezuela with his family only seven years ago, was the new kid who barely spoke a word of English. Now he's portraying Fez, a character similar to himself back then, only this time he's on TV.
Fairly new to the entertainment industry, Valderrama recently made his television debut in Disney's "Omba Makomba" and has also been featured in commercials for Pacific Bell.
Valderrama is actively involved in his high school's theater program and has performed in numerous plays including "Rumors," "And Never Been Kissed" and "The Impossible Years." He continues to study with the Taft High School Drama Department.
How he is like Fez:
"I think that I shared the same innocence and the same naivete that he has when I first came to the States. He always says the things that I would never say out loud, though."
Favorite Fez moments:
I think the legendary one was when he started calling people whores. He has such innocence when he said it; people didn't know whether to take him seriously or not. It started to turn into something of a catchphrase.
An avid sports fan, Valderrama spends his spare time playing soccer and basketball. He also enjoys playing chess. He currently lives with his family in a suburb of Los Angeles.
