JONATHAN TAYLOR THOMAS

We all remember his signature initials -- "JTT". From jumping out of TV and into movies, to gracing the covers of Tiger Beat and J14, the original tween heartthrob Jonathan Taylor Thomas was a sure-fire household name. For seven years he played Randy Taylor, the middle child on ABC’s 'Home Improvement', and voiced the young incarnation of Simba in Disney’s 'The Lion King'. Since his stint on 'Home Improvement', Jonathan Taylor Thomas continued a modest television career with small roles in 'Smallville', '8 Simple Rules', and 'Veronica Mars'. Thomas enrolled at Harvard University and in 2010 graduated from Columbia University.
