Topher Grace Reveals How He Once Snuck Into The Oscars

Topher Grace has cemented himself as a well-known actor in Hollywood, but there was a time in his life when he wasn't invited to all of the industry events like the Oscars — but that didn't stop him from attending anyway.

The Spider-Man 3 actor recently reunited with his That '70s Show costar Wilmer Valderrama on his and Freddy Rodriguez's Dos Amigos podcast for a two-parter chat. In the second episode that released May 1, he revealed that he once sneakily made his way into the Academy Awards with a group of friends when they were younger.

"Another dare situation was we snuck into the Oscars because the Shrine Auditorium where the Oscars used to happen was right across the street from our dorm," he said. "I'm looking down on it and we're like, 'I bet we could just take a limo and just drive into that tomorrow.'"

After attempting to rent a limo only to be told they were all taken because of the Oscars, they made a deal with a driver to give him $100 to drive around the block and pick them up in their "rented bow ties" and black jackets. Because the limo still had credentials, they made it through the barricade and to the red carpet.

"We were waving and everyone was kind of like, 'who's that?' We had one of those roll up cameras and we're taking pictures of ourselves," he said, adding that they even made it inside to watch the awards show.

Sometime during the night, someone with security approached asking who they were, and in a moment of quick thinking, Grace rolled with it and started barking orders at one of his friends like he was an assistant who made a mistake.

"A guy in security came up to us at one point and was like, 'who are you,' and as he did, I just started yelling at one of the other guys like he was my assistant," he recalled. "And the guy left because he was like, 'this is embarrassing.' Like I was like, 'no, we can get him to me now, no your job is to get...' and he was like, alright and he just left [and we] kept hanging out."

Dos Amigos aims to bring the good vibes, creating an atmosphere for listeners to feel like they're hanging out talking with their closest friends. According to the podcast description:
