When Wilmer Valderrama moved to the U.S. from Venezuela as a teenager with his family, he hadn't expected he'd need to know English in his lifetime. But when he got to Los Angeles and started getting involved in theater (as he had in Venezuela), he quickly realized not knowing English was the only thing that could stop him from being successful in this craft. So he learned quickly. Not only did he learn English quickly, he rose to the top of his acting classes, got an agent, and despite having an accent (which wasn't very accepted on TV at the time), he booked his first pilot at the age of 18. You've probably heard of it - That '70s Show.
