For example on Ebbie, Little Bigfoot 2 and 7th Heaven. At the end of Home Improvement in 1999 he decided to retire from acting. 2 years after the show ended he was quoted saying, “I started Home Improvement when I was 7, and the show ended when I was 16. I never had the chance to decide what I wanted to do with my life. When I was 16, I knew that I didn’t want to act anymore.”
