After debuting in 1991, Home Improvement instantly became a hit - staying in the top 10 spots
for a television series during its entire eight-season run.
Since the show's final episode on May 25th, 1999, many fans are left asking what the cast
has been up to as of late - so, where is the cast of Home Improvement now?
Tim Allen - Tim Taylor Tim Allen starred as the loveable, grunting
father and television host, Tim "the Toolman" Taylor.
Finding a niche for himself in family sitcoms, Allen currently plays the lead role of Max
Baxter in ABC's The Last Man Standing - as well as continuing to voice the character
Buzz Lightyear in all things Toy Story - the 4th of which is set to release in 2018 - as
well as jolly ol' Saint Nick in The Santa Clause movies.
Tim loves the state of Michigan, evident by his love for the Detroit Lions in Home Improvement,
and today, you can hear his voice in all of the state-sponsored "Pure Michigan" tourism
commercials.
As for his personal life, he's been happily married to his wife, Jane Hajduk since 2006
and currently has homes in both Michigan and California.
Patricia Richardson - Jill Patterson-Taylor Since playing Tim's wife, Jill Taylor, actress
Patricia Richardson's career has died off a bit - though she's continued to work in
television series and made for TV movies.
From 2002 to 2005, she had a starring role as Dr. Andy Campbell in Strong Medicine.
She'd get a small recurring role on The West Wing as Sheila Brooks and just recently, in
2015 and 2016, she had a couple of guest appearances with her Home Improvement co-star on Tim Allen's
new sitcom, Last Man Standing as Helen Potts.
Zachery Ty Bryan - Brad Taylor Zachery Ty Bryan played the eldest of the
three Taylor boys, Brad.
Bryan had a number of small guest spots on television, in shows such as Touched by an
Angel, The Outer Limits, Smallville and Veronica Mars, as well as getting the star role in
Thor: Hammer of the Gods, a made for TV movie in 2009.
His major focus in life now, besides his wife and two children - is producing, especially
indie-horror films such as Prowl and Dark Tourist.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas - Randy Taylor Known throughout the 90's as a teen heart
throb, Jonathan Taylor Thomas played the middle Taylor boy, Randy.
Thomas had actually departed from Home Improvement before the end of the show, as he wanted to
focus more on his schooling - eventually graduating from Columbia in 2010.
He doesn't do much acting, mostly guest appearances in shows the likes of 8 Simple Rules and Last
Man Standing.
Taran Noah Smith - Mark Taylor One time actor Taran Noah Smith, who played
the youngest brother, Mark, said the biggest thing he had learned from his time on Home
Improvement is that he absolutely didn't want to be an actor for the rest of his life.
He stuck to his decision and began running a company that produced vegan meals called
PlayFood, before it was shut down by the city for allegedly operating illegally.
Sadly, he faced what most child actors do and has fallen into rough times.
In 2012, he was arrested for DUI and possession of marijuana and in 2015, his real-life mother,
Candy Bennici, wrote the book "Stardom Happens," which documented his life and gives readers
an insight of what a child actor goes through.
Richard Karn - Al Borland Richard Karn, who played Al Borland, the co-star
in both Home Improvement and the show within a show, Tool Time, portrayed the character
as a corny, shy, nervous and lovable bear who could never impress the ladies, and was
the best friend to Tim Taylor.
After Home Improvement ended, Richard would go on to appear in many small roles such as
Theo in That '70's Show, Air Bud: Seventh Inning Stretch and Snow Buddies and many made
for TV movies.
He'd go on to play in 2 episodes of Last Man Standing - but one of his bigger roles since
then would have to be the host of Family Feud from 2002 to 2006.
Debbe Dunning - Heidi Keppert Debbe Dunning was cast to play tool-girl Heidi
Keppert as a replacement for Pamela Anderson when she left the show to do Baywatch.
Dunning, for the most part, has stepped away from acting having spot appearances here and
there, such as Hope Lorca in Wicked Wicked Games from 2006 to 2007 and a role in 2016's
The Prophet.
Earl Hindman - Wilson Earl John Hindman is undoubtedly best known
for his role as Wilson W. Wilson, Jr. - the half-faced, wisdom dropping neighborino.
After the show came to its end, Hindman made appearances throughout television, having
roles in Law & Order, Law & Order: Criminal Intent and the made for TV movie, Hopewell,
before his untimely death in 2003.
Known to be a heavy smoker, Hindman succumbed to lung cancer at age 61.
All is not lost, however, as his voice can still be heard on the Disneyland Railroad
in Anaheim, California.
