Rise to Fame

Thomas achieved widespread recognition playing Randy Taylor on the hit ABC sitcom Home Improvement, which aired from 1991 to 1999. As the quick-witted middle son of Tim Allen’s character, he appeared in 179 of the show’s 204 episodes and became a fan favorite.

At the peak of the show’s popularity, Thomas was one of the highest-paid and most in-demand teen actors in the world. He regularly appeared on magazine covers, talk shows, and red carpets, becoming a defining pop culture figure of the decade.

The Lion King

In 1994, Thomas voiced young Simba in Disney’s animated blockbuster The Lion King. The film became a global phenomenon and remains one of the highest-grossing animated movies of all time. His performance introduced him to an international audience and remains one of his most iconic roles.

He later voiced Pinocchio in The Adventures of Pinocchio and continued working in both live-action and animated projects throughout the decade.

Beyond television and voice work, Thomas starred in several successful family films, including Man of the House, Tom and Huck, and I’ll Be Home for Christmas. These roles further solidified his status as a leading young actor during the 1990s.

Stepping Away from Hollywood

In a move that surprised many fans, Thomas chose to leave Home Improvement before its final season to focus on his education. He later attended Harvard University, studied abroad at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, and graduated from Columbia University’s School of General Studies in 2010.

Though he largely stepped away from acting, he made occasional guest appearances on shows such as Smallville and Veronica Mars. He also reunited with Tim Allen on the sitcom Last Man Standing, appearing in several episodes and even directing a few.
