Iowa is in Ashton Kutcher's blood, and no matter where his career has taken him, he's never forgotten his roots. He's particularly interested in supporting the arts in his home state, and opening up the same path he's followed for those who want to come after him. He's often seen as a face in the crowd at college sports games in the state, and has offered acting classes in many schools and colleges. Iowa has also benefited from Kutcher's charitable side: he was the man who launched the Native Fund, which offers financial support for people affected by disasters.
Professionally, Kutcher's media profile was helped immeasurably by his marriage to Demi Moore, which elevated him above the level of fame he'd achieved as the star of the prank television show 'Punk'd.' He then went on to replace the troubled Charlie Sheen in 'Two and A Half Men,' before making his mark in the more 'serious' realm of acting by playing Apple founder Steve Jobs in the 2013 biopic movie 'Jobs.'
