Tim Allen has floated the idea of a Home Improvement reunion, but his former co-stars haven’t seemed interested. Pamala Richardson recently said she was never asked, while Jonathan Taylor Thomas claimed he wasn’t either.
Zachery Ty Bryan, who played oldest son Brad Taylor on the 1990s sitcom, has been arrested for domestic violence. He was charged with felony assault, which violates the Abuse Prevention Act.
Home Improvement
Zachery Ty Bryan has been in and out of the spotlight since his hit ’90s sitcom, Home Improvement, ended in 1999. He’s struggled to land serious acting gigs, and he’s also had some legal troubles. The actor who played Tim Allen’s son on the show has gotten behind bars on alcohol-related charges, a domestic violence incident, and even a digital token scam. His latest arrest occurred in July when he was arrested for violating the Abuse Prevention Act, according to TMZ.
Tim Allen
Tim Allen became a household name thanks to Home Improvement, which ran from 1991 to 1999. He starred as Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor and Jill Taylor, the parents of sons Brad (Zachary Ty Bryan), Randy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), and Mark (Taran Noah Smith).
His character was a klutz who often hurt himself due to bad DIY projects and loved his Detroit sports teams and hot rods. He was also a smart aleck, bragging about his accomplishments and saving people’s phone numbers under celebrity names so they could call him.
After Home Improvement ended, Zachery Ty Bryan struggled to find acting work. He recently opened up about his struggle and hard comedown from teen fame. He also has had legal troubles including a DUI and a cryptocurrency scam. The actor is now living in La Quinta, California. He’s working on a new show called Shifting Gears. The sitcom will center on Matt, a stubborn widower who runs a classic car restoration shop.

Bryan, 42, starred as the eldest son on Home Improvement alongside Tim Allen from 1991 to 1999 and went on to land roles in other television shows including Boston Public and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He is also a producer on independent films.
In 2020, Bryan was arrested for allegedly strangling model Johnnie Faye Cartwright and spent seven days in jail. His sentencing included 36 months of bench probation and participation in a program called Bridges2Safety.
However, the actor seems to have turned a corner in his personal life as he recently announced that he and Cartwright are expecting twins. The pair celebrated their pregnancy with an Instagram photo of their sonogram on Friday. They have been together since 2021 and have three children of their own. The couple is based in California, where they have been spotted on ‘river walks’ and at local bars. They are also avid hikers. They have shared several photos of their adventures on social media.
