It would seem so easy for a child actor to fall into a spiral of drugs and partying. But some fall into more lucrative deals…like fraud. And this allegedly happened to Zachery Ty Bryan, who played oldest brother Brad Taylor on ABC’s Home Improvement.
In a new piece in The Hollywood Reporter, it’s revealed that Zachery Ty Bryan – who has had problems relating to domestic violence and DUIs – got mixed up in a fraudulent plot as an advisor for Producers Market, using his position in the company to make deals that didn’t fit with the company’s mission. As per THR, “Separately, four sources allege that Bryan stole their money through a fraudulent scheme tied to an agriculture-technology startup in individual amounts ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, and totaling close to $50,000. They believe he did so by offering fake contracts that have no value outside of the paper they are printed on.

Zachery Ty Bryan struggled to find acting work after starring as eldest son Brad Taylor in all eight seasons of Home Improvement. He opened up about the struggles, and the hard comedown from teen fame, in a new interview that details his child-star past and his present life, which is riddled with legal issues tied to domestic violence charges, DUIs, and an apparent cryptocurrency scheme. Home Improvement starred Tim Allen and Patricia Richardson as Tim “The Tool Man” and Jill Taylor, parents to sons Brad (Bryan), Randy (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), and Mark (Taran Noah Smith). Bryan said it was “was actually really difficult” to land more acting jobs after the Home Improvement series finale in 1999, despite the success of the ABC show. “If you star in a TV show today, you can be in any film that you want, but back then, it was the polar opposite,” Bryan told The Hollywood Reporter.
