If it is true that who you know can have as much as talent, for Topher Grace, the connection that finally launched his career was formed in New Hampshire, not the
In Sunday Funday, people give us a game game of their Sunday ideal in the city. Find ideas and an inspiration where to go, what to eat and how to enjoy life on weekends.
While attending a New Hampshire boarding school in the late 1990s, Grace appeared in his first room and has become friends with a girl who worked on design. Later, after having moved it to attend the USC, he received a telephone call from the girl's parents, who were “great Hollywood producers”.
“They said:” Do you want to come and try for this program on the “70s?” “”
It started Grace's journey by playing Eric Forman in the successful sitcom “That '70s Show”. For a while, before the show was officially picked up, he stayed with one of the children of producers in a house full of university -aged roommates – a place that grace describes as a house in the “real world”.
“I was so green, I did not know what was going on during the first five years of this program, but it was a wonderful introduction to the,” said the actor, who appears in the film led by Mel Gibson “Flight Risk” this month. “Going to university in Los Angeles was pretty cool, but the following year, I was driving on a studio field and started making films. It was just the dream entrance to this place.”
Today, Grace, his wife and their three children are installed on the east side of the city, where an ideal Sunday includes a bar on the roof, an outdoor film and a time with quality family.

7 am: Go big on breakfast
We are a big breakfast family: pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, syrup and all that. Our breakfast corner in the morning is a large gathering place for us. (If we go out for breakfast), we love Joan is on the third(especially) their toast to the lawyer with the egg poached on it. This is specifically the thing to have there. I can taste it now to think about it.
9 a.m.: Be online at producer market
We are tall on the Studio City Farmers Market. We are the first there, and we get all the most ripe products because we get up early. But then you look around and realize that this is when all the other people with children are there too.
What is great with the Studio City producers market is that they also have it – I would not say rides, but they have these explosive slides, they sometimes have animals, and therefore it is a very good activity beyond us to buy fruit.
11 am: activity time with the whole family
On Sunday, the best thing to do is to have an activity that gives us both new and exhausts children. So we are tall on the The zoo. Do you know Reggie, the Alligator? Well, my son does.
Or there is the Skirball center (who reopens on Sunday) Right next to Getty Center. There is this thing called “Noah's Ark”, which is really cool. It's like an artistic children's amusement center, but it's beautifully done and children love it. There are all these strings and obstacles, but it is like going through a work of art. In addition, the Getty has really cool artistic programs on Sunday. We love family time.
7 p.m.: The meeting night begins
One night a week, we get a baby-sitter. The city center of the has an excellent local culinary scene. Much of the emerging things are in the city center.
I did not spend a lot of time in downtown when I was younger, but one of our favorite restaurants is Go to bed. I think it could be my favorite restaurant in the world. It is a cuisine of the Middle East that is so good, and the atmosphere is really great with food. It's just incredible. They have a shawarma around the lamb neck which is so good.
There is also Badmaash. They have so cool dishes that are crushed. I hear that the chef lived in Canada and India and I like Tikka chicken poutine. Wave is ideal for small Latin American plates. We love tapas because the more you are married, the more you share the meal. There is this incredible Havana style dining room, which is very cool.
8 p.m.: Nightcap under the stars
Thereafter, we are really in the bars on the roof. We love Path Just above Appropriate hotel. He has an insane view and a DJ and is simply relaxed. It's so great to be at the top of a building. What is incredible in Los Angeles is that you can live in a small valley, but then you are at the top of a skyscraper and you can do everything in one day. You can ski in the morning, swim at night. By the way, we never did this, but theoretically, we could.
I am also a big guy from sweets. When I lived in Westwood, I went to Diddy Riese a lot. I'm always going. Perch it has very good desserts. We sometimes do not do a dessert in the restaurant and we will go there and it is an excellent appointment evening for us. Dude, I want it to be Sunday at the moment.
9 p.m.: Film time at the end of the evening
We love classic films on the big screen, and our favorites are at New Beverly cinema. Tarantino bought it a few years ago. THE American cinematheca Has films at the end of the evening on Sunday, which are great. And then Movie club on the roofTheir films are a little more commercial, but it is a really fun atmosphere.
I was definitely (a night bird) before having children, but now we can spend between half an hour to an hour of television. Me and my wife slowly cross a series, we slip. You can't even call it to move, we're going so slowly. I don't want to take out my wife in La Times, but she is in a reality TV that is so at the bottom of the barrel. My wife is a university professor, she is involved in politics, so she is much smarter than me. But not when it comes to watching television. I think that's where she relaxes her brain or something like that. We do “The Bachelor” together, and it is not something that I would have ever done before getting married, but there are roads that I cannot follow it.
