More recently, Topher Grace returned to the limelight as the main antagonist in “Spider-Man 3” superhero film Eddie Brock, whose body was taken over by an alien symbiote named “Venom”. The “Spider-Man 3” film first aired in cinemas in 2007, as a sequel to the second “Spider-Man 2” movie. The cast in the third installment of the series included Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, and Bryce Dallas Howard among others. Upon its release, “Spider-Man 3” was largely criticized by many critics, who felt that the movie failed to develop a cohesive plot line and instead focused on introducing numerous characters from the comic books. Nevertheless, “Spider-Man 3” turned out to be Marvel’s third most commercially successful film, with more than $890 million grossed at the box office, which, undoubtedly contributed to the overall wealth of the cast members.

3 [on quitting That ’70s Show (1998)]: “It’s heartbreaking because there’s no funner job in the universe than being one of those six kids. I was in my teens when I started. It’s ridiculous to even try to imagine my life without being able to laugh all day with those five people. I never cry, like ever, but I have a feeling it’s coming.”
4 [Talking about his scene with Michael Douglas in Traffic (2000)]: “I threatened Michael Douglas! Oh, man, that guy could beat me over the head with his Oscar!”
5 “Some of my favorite films include Out of Sight (1998) and Schizopolis (1996). So, the thing that got me most excited about getting the part was the opportunity to work with Steven Soderbergh”. (when asked why he chose the part in the film Traffic (2000)).
