The Kids from 'Home Improvement' Have Come a Long Way

Explore how The Kids from 'Home Improvement' Have Come a Long Way remains a key topic with our thorough coverage.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who played Randy on Home Improvement, left before the series ended so he could go to school in real life. From high school, he went on to Harvard and then Columbia. He later voiced a character in The Wild Thornberrys, and had roles in 8 Simple Rules, Smallville, and Last Man Standing, the latter of which reunited him with his Home Improvement dad, Tim Allen.

Although he hasn't had any major roles since his arc in Last Man Standing in 2015, Jonathan is set to serve as a producer for the 2021 drama Master of Ceremonies.

And in 2019, he made headlines again when he went after a seat on the SAG-AFTRA national board, but acting is likely a thing of the past for him.

"I’d been going nonstop since I was eight years old," Jonathan told People in 2013. "I never took the fame too seriously. It was a great period in my life, but it doesn’t define me. When I think back on the time, I look at it with a wink. I focus on the good moments I had, not that I was on a lot of magazine covers."
