Wilmer Valderrama isn't closing the door on his That '70s Show character just yet.
Speaking to TV Insider, the 42-year-old actor addressed the possibility of him reprising his former character, Fez, on the upcoming That '90s Show reboot.
"I'm a little busy right now, but I support them so much," he said. "I'm rooting for them. I wish them nothing but the best."
Added Valderrama, "If the timing is right, I'd never say no."
Valderrama's love for That '70s Show runs deep. This past December, the NCIS star opened up about his reasoning for keeping the iconic '69 Vista Cruiser featured throughout the series.
"I wanted to keep that because every time I get in the car, I get a little emotional about it because I was about to turn 18 when I booked That '70s Show," he said on Jay Leno's Garage. "I think, like any immigrant family, we came here to work and getting That '70s Show was exactly what every generation has experienced in America."
"That's when I knew everything was possible," he added. "And all I had to do was never get fired!"
