‘Home Improvement’ Child Actor Arrested For Domestic Abuse After Strangling Girlfriend
I don’t think Tim Allen has been a very good fictional dad. For starters, two of his three daughters on Last Man Standing have been replaced by entirely different people and he didn’t even notice because he was too busy talking about cars and liberals with Jay Leno.
His fictional son Brad Taylor from his previous sitcom Home Improvement, however, has taken the Dana Plato Prize for screwed-up former child actors.
Zachary Ty Bryan, who played Brad, the older, dumber brother who didn’t have the weird cancer scare episode has been arrested for allegedly strangling his girlfriend.
Zachery Ty Bryan was arrested late Friday night in Eugene, OR after neighbors called for help following some sort of scuffle at an apartment complex in town. Eugene PD tells TMZ … when cops showed up, they found Zach sitting outside his unit with the alleged victim hiding at a friend’s place across the way.
We’re told after an investigation, cops found 39-year-old Zachery had gotten into some sort of argument with the woman — with whom he has a relationship — and it allegedly became physical … with the victim claiming ZTB put his hands around her throat and squeezed.
Look, I know it’s funny when Homer Simpson chokes Bart but it is never okay to strangle a woman unless she asks you to. Even then, it’s kind of weird and you’re definitely not going to do it right and it’s going to get weird pretty fast, you should probably just pass.
Bryan was charged with strangulation, fourth-degree assault and interfering with making a report and booked into jail.
Zachary, or Brad as we like to call him because that IMDB page is looking real sparse. If he hadn’t been on Home Improvement this article would have been called Kirstie Alley Claims She’s Being Harassed By Other Celebrities For Supporting Trump because like hell is anyone doing a story about a guest star on Veronica Mars doing anything. But Zachary has had previous violent incidents.
Back in 2008, he was tased at a hotel where staff said “Zach went nuts on the staff, a lot of alcohol was involved, and tasering the dude was the only safe bet.” That’s the only other story we’ve done about him in case you were wondering how his career was going. I was shocked that I didn’t have to make a tag for him writing this story.
Maybe, if he’s really lucky, he’ll get sent to Tim Allen’s old prison. He is a legacy admission.
