26 Red Forman Quotes From That 70s Show's Grumpiest Dad
Gallery
Red Forman, played by Kurtwood Smith, is the funny war veteran who plays the show's father.
Red is the disgruntled but strong-willed retired war veteran now factory worker, living in Point Place, Wisconsin, and is married to the chatty and cheerful Kitty Forman. The couple have a son who plays one of the lead characters, called Eric Forman.
Red's relationship with his kids is mind-boggling and will leave many people with strict dads relating to his interactions with his kids.
Even though he cherishes his lying, manipulative, indiscriminate girl, Laurie (with whom, unsurprisingly, Kitty has a stressed and hostile relationship) until season two when he discovers she's living with a man in Chicago, he constantly brings up Eric's apparent defects and blames him savagely.
