he taught people how to pilot submarines<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\tAs a teenager, Thomas famously played the voice of young Simba in 1994\u2019s \u201cThe Lion King,\u201d and he headlined such family films as 1995\u2019s \u201cMan of the House\u201d and 1998\u2019s \u201cI\u2019ll Be Home for Christmas.\u201d His last Hollywood credits did involve Allen, though. Thomas appeared in four episodes of Allen\u2019s ABC sitcom \u201cLast Man Standing\u201d between 2013 and 2015, including one episode that reunited him not only with Allen but his former onscreen mom Richardson. Thomas also directed three episodes of the show.<\/p>\n
\n\tFinally, fellow cast member Earl Hindman, who played the Taylor\u2019s neighbor Wilson Wilson, died in 2003. Wilson was most often seen behind his fence (with his face mostly obscured), offering moral guidance and wisdom to Tim and the rest of the Taylor family.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhile a straight up revival of the show is not looking likely, there have been reunions of the cast over the years. In addition to the previously mentioned episodes of \u201cLast Man Standing,\u201d Allen reunited with several cast members in Season 2 of his current ABC series, \u201cShifting Gears.\u201d <\/p>\n
In the second season opener, Richardson popped up alongside Richard Karn (Al Borland) and Debbe Dunning (Heidi) as members of a grief support group. According to sources, Thomas was asked to appear as well but ultimately decided not to participate.<\/p>\n
\n\tIf there\u2019s one thing that Hollywood TV executives love, it\u2019s a reboot of a beloved TV show. After all, nostalgia rates, which is why in recent years we\u2019ve seen casts come back for new seasons of \u201cWill & Grace,\u201d \u201cFull House,\u201d \u201cRoseanne,\u201d \u201cMalcolm in the Middle,\u201d \u201cScrubs,\u201d and \u201cKing of the Hill.\u201d But as for the Taylor family, it looks like they have hot rodded off into the sunset for the last time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
