TRIVIA:

Was considered for the role of Al Bundy on _"Married with Children" (1987)_ (qv).

Attended Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, California
Has one granddaughter named Abby.
Played the father of Eric Forman on that 70s show and played the father of a patient treated by doctor Eric Forman on House M.D.
"Kurtwood" is his real first name. According to an interview with Smith on 'Caroline Rhea' (qv)'s syndicated television show (8 April 2003), his mother was a fan of a country singer named Kurt (or Curt) in the early '40s. However, she thought "Kurt Smith" was too short a name, so she added "wood" -- "she just tacked it on to the end", said Smith. He noted that he's likely the only Kurtwood.
Has played three different characters in Star Trek
Presented actress 'Barbara Bain' (qv) with the California Lottery's "Hero in Education" Award on "The Big Spin" show on December 18, 2004.
