‘Home Improvement’ actor Zachery Ty Bryan arrested, faces charges of strangulation, assault

EUGENE, ORE — Zachery Ty Bryan, the actor who played the oldest son on the long-running 1990s sit-com “Home Improvement” was arrested in Oregon and faces charges of strangulation and assault.
The Eugene Police Department said officers were dispatched to a North Eugene apartment Friday night on a report of a physical dispute. They found Bryan, 39, sitting outside and his girlfriend, 27, at a neighboring apartment.

Bryan reportedly assaulted the victim, impeded her breathing, and took her phone away when she tried to call 911, police said. The victim declined medical assistance.

Bryan was booked into Lane County jail after 1 a.m. Saturday.

A message left with a possible agent for Bryan was not immediately returned. It wasn’t immediately known if he had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.

His last TV/movie appearances were in 2009 according to his profile here. I pray that nothing else negative takes place where he is concerned.

God bless you and him always!!!

Gee, Mr. Bryan announced he was separating from his wife after 14 years of marriage on October 1st and now has been arrested for allegedly strangling his girlfriend on Friday, October 16. Either he met and hooked up with her FAST or they'd been seeing each other from before the separation announcement. Regardless, it doesn't seem to have been the most positive bond said girlfriend could have gotten into (and I hope she's going to be okay).

I also hope that he treated his now-estranged wife and mother of their children better down the years than how his girlfriend has claimed he treated her!

Apparently he's still working in the business, just on the production side. He's produced several projects since he quit acting 11 years ago, and has one project in post production now.

^^^ Thanks for pointing that out. I will admit that I don't think about that part of the field enough. I wonder if his making an appearance on Last Man Standing is possible since that show is going into its final season. I loved Patricia Richardson's (Jill) first appearance on the show because it led to the only thing that could be done where Earl Hindman (Wilson) was concerned.

God bless you and the Home Improvement cast members who are still here always!!!

I am not surprised, he looks like the kind of person to strangle someone, he is a piece of ****

RetroGuy2000 · 10-18-2020, 03:25 PM

He's got a long history of drinking. I hope he can find help, and I hope that woman finds someone better.

I never knew he is an alcoholic, that explains it

PracTz · 10-18-2020, 04:41 PM

While I hope Mr. Bryan gets justice meted (if he did what he was accused of) and then the necessary help to get and stay sober, I'm far more concerned with the hope that his girlfriend, estranged wife and offspring will be okay since, if what he was accused of actually happened as reported, THEY are the ones who would have been impacted by Mr. Bryan's alleged actions (especially the girlfriend who could have been seriously injured or killed if he attempted to strangle her) rather than Mr. Bryan in any way being a victim.

FWIW, I have no real interest in him returning before the camera. Even during 'Home Improvement', he was a rather blah and bland performer whose character Brad was, at best, a straight man foil to Tim, Randy and sometimes Jill but otherwise was no barrel of laughs.

Zachery's last acting credit as an actor was in the 2009 television movie called Thor: Hammer Of The Gods and his most recent credits as a producer are Warning (which has already been completed) and Finding 52 (which is currently in post production).

Home Improvement's Zachery Ty Bryan released from jail

Bryan was released late Saturday night on $8,500 cash bail after he was arrested Friday night in Eugene, Oregon for allegedly trying to strangle his girlfriend.

Yikes. Sad

Zachery has also been issued a no-contact order -- typical after a domestic violence arrest -- so he's required to stay away from the alleged victim and can't contact her in any way.

Zachery's next court appearance is scheduled for Friday, but the D.A. is still deciding whether to charge him.

‘Home Improvement’ actor Zachery Ty Bryan charged in alleged girlfriend attack

Zachery Ty Bryan has been charged with two felonies after he allegedly attacked his girlfriend.

The Lane County District Attorney confirmed to Page Six that the “Home Improvement” star, 39, was arraigned Friday morning on two counts of menacing, two counts of assault in the fourth degree, coercion, felony strangulation, harassment and interfering with making a report after allegedly strangling his girlfriend at home in Eugene, Oregon. He is currently out on bail.

Bryan’s next court date is set for Nov. 30.

According to police documents obtained by TMZ, Bryan woke up, pulled her by her hair and started beating her while shouting obscenities over missing cell phone chargers. She claimed Bryan became abusive toward her last month but it boiled over last Friday when he allegedly choked her to the point that she thought she would suffocate. She also claimed he put his knee on her neck.

She eventually managed to break away and call 911.

Bryan is barred from making any contact with the victim.

^^^ If anyone saw what happened, I pray that they have the courage to come forward with all that they know of.

God bless you always!!!
