Lets take a closer look at what the rest of the 'Home Improvement' cast has been up to since the show ended.
Tim Allen as Tim Taylor
Allen, the man behind the iconic Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor, continued to build a successful career in comedy after 'Home Improvement' ended in 1999.
He went on to star in the long-running sitcom 'Last Man Standing,' where he played Mike Baxter. The show enjoyed a loyal following and ended its run in 2021 after nine seasons.

Richardson has also embraced her love for theater, with roles in productions like 'Other Desert Cities' and 'August: Osage County'.
Taran Noah Smith as Mark Taylor
After his role as Mark, the youngest Taylor child on 'Home Improvement,' Taran Noah Smith chose a distinct life path. He distanced himself from acting and delved into the realms of organic farming and sustainable living. Moreover, his decision not to return to acting was significantly influenced by his adoption of a vegan lifestyle and his venture into the world of plant-based food. Smith founded a company named 'Playfood' exclusively committed to offering vegan food choices for those adhering to a vegan diet. But that's not the end of his multifaceted journey. Presently, he holds the position of a Technical Manager at a company called 'Community Submersibles', and he resides aboard a sailboat, as per The Things.
Richard Karn as Al Borland
Richard Karn, who played the fan favorite Al Borland - the lovable co-host of 'Tool Time' - continued his acting career after 'Home Improvement.' He appeared in various TV shows and movies, including 'Family Feud,' 'That '70s Show,' and 'CTRL.' Karn also hosted game shows like 'Family Feud' and 'Bingo America.'
Debbe Dunning as Heidi Keppert
Debbe Dunning, who played the charming Heidi Keppert, the 'Tool Time' assistant, transitioned into hosting and acting after the show. She appeared in films like 'Now You Know' and 'The Spiral Staircase' and had guest roles on TV shows. Dunning is also involved in various charitable endeavors.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas as Randy Taylor
Jonathan Taylor Thomas, the middle Taylor child, Randy, was a heartthrob during the show's run. He continued acting for a few years after 'Home Improvement' but eventually stepped away from the limelight to focus on education. However, he made a return to television with guest appearances on shows like 'Last Man Standing.'
Pamela Anderson as Tool Time's Lisa
Pamela Anderson was the first 'Tool Time' girl before Heidi. Though she was there for only two seasons, she left quite the impression before quitting to take on the role of CJ Parker on 'Baywatch'.
Many years later, Anderson was to add a bitter footnote to the show.
In her memoir, 'Love, Pamela,' Anderson claimed Tim Allen had flashed her during her first day of filming the popular sitcom in 1991. Allen had promptly denied the incident at the time, saying, “I would never do such a thing."
Later, Anderson clarified to Entertainment Tonight that Allen “had no bad intentions” and that it was his job as a comedian “to cross the line.”
However, she did quip, "I doubt anyone would try that post #MeToo. It’s a new world.”
