Zachery Ty Bryan, who played Tim Allen’s oldest son Brad Taylor in the popular 1990s sitcom Home Improvement, was arrested Friday in Oregon on charges of assault and strangulation. He was arrested after neighbors at an apartment complex called police to report a physical dispute.
Police found the actor sitting outside his apartment while his alleged victim ran to a neighbor’s apartment. She told police that Bryan choked her and prevented her from breathing and took her phone when she tried to call 911.
About Zachery Ty Bryan
Zachery Ty Bryan was born on October 9, 1981, in Aurora, Colorado. He began his acting career by appearing in local print and television advertising in Denver before he moved to California and landed a role on Home Improvement as Brad Taylor, Tim “the Tool Man” Allen’s oldest son. He has also starred in several TV shows and films including Bigfoot: The Unforgettable Encounter, First Child, and Magic Island.
He has also guest starred on shows like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Veronica Mars. He is also an avid musician who has recorded two albums of country music.
The military man from Oologah, Oklahoma, has won over country fans with his raspy voice and stripped-down sound. He served 7 years in the Navy and is proud of his small-town roots. He has been getting lots of interest from managers, labels, and publishing companies since the release of his debut album, DeAnn.
His Career
Zach Bryan has built a career from his raspy, stripped-down sound that draws on classic folk melody and red dirt country. The Oologah, Oklahoma native is a Navy vet who’s spent the past few years carving out a niche as a singer-songwriter. Bryan’s 2019 debut DeAnn and subsequent releases cultivated an audience, which crested in 2020 with the release of Elisabeth. That paved the way for American Heartbreak, Bryan’s 2022 debut that landed him among country music heavyweights on multiple genres’ year-end charts.
He has four children with his wife Carly Matros. On the acting side, Bryan is best known for his role as Brad Taylor on Home Improvement. His character was Tim “Tool Man” Taylor’s eldest son, known for his experiments with different hair styles and frequent trips into trouble. Bryan starred on the show for its eight-season run from 1991 to 1999. He’s also acted in the films True Heart and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
His Personal Life
Zach Bryan has a family that is very military-oriented. Both his parents served in the United States Navy, as did his grandmother and great-grandfather. Having grown up in a military household, it’s no wonder that the country singer joined the Navy when he turned 17. He has continued to make music with his friends, and recently uploaded some rough-cut DIY tracks to YouTube.
In addition to his musical career, the actor has also made appearances on a number of television shows. He has starred in episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars, and Shark. He also appeared in a commercial for the television show Touched by an Angel.
Currently, the star is in a relationship with fiancee Johnnie Faye. The two are expecting twins. In a since-deleted Instagram post, the couple announced their happy news. The pair met while in the Navy, and they have been together for more than a year.
His Legal Issues
The actor who played Tim Allen’s oldest son Brad Taylor in Home Improvement has been arrested for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. Bryan was reportedly arrested on Friday night in Eugene, Oregon after neighbours called police to report some sort of scuffle at the apartment complex where he lives. The alleged victim told police that she had been physically abused by Bryan on multiple occasions, and claimed that he choked her until she thought she would suffocate.
The 39-year-old has been charged with fourth-degree assault, strangulation, and interfering with making a report. He has been ordered to stay away from her and is due in court on Friday.
The incident comes just weeks after the former child star announced that he and his wife of 14 years Carly Matros had separated. He recently released an acoustic album called DeAnn, which has gone viral on streaming services, and has attracted interest from managers, labels, and publishing companies.
