Randall "Randy" William Taylor (born September 8, 1981, played by Jonathan Taylor Thomas) is the middle brother on the TV show Home Improvement and the son of Tim and Jill Taylor.

Personality

Randy is the jokester of the family, and often portrayed as the perfect combination of both Tim and Jill's personalities. He was the shortest Taylor child and like his mother, a devoted student and conspicuously intellectual. On par with Tim's wit and humor, whenever his father was in trouble with Jill, Randy was always there with a quick remark that would almost always get him in trouble. Throughout adolescence, Randy became very conscious about the environment and civil rights. After becoming a writer for his school newspaper in the sixth season, to Tim's dismay he became a major critique of the environmental practices of the Binford company. He also became very skeptical of the intentions of organized religion. Randy had many disagreements with Tim over various things, but they were always able to work it out. In Season 8, Randy participated in an environmental program that landed him in Costa Rica for one year.
