However, instead of the fame and fortune many imagined from him, he's been almost entirely out of the limelight since the early 2000's. He had roles on ABC's "8 Simple Rules" and UPN's "Veronica Mars" before mostly stepping away to go to school.

"I never took the fame too seriously," he said during an interview with People. "It was a great period in my life, but it doesn't define me. When I think back on the time, I look at it with a wink. I focus on the good moments I had, not that I was on a lot of magazine covers."

He reunited with Tim Allen to guest star on an episode of ABC's "The Last Man Standing" and has been out of the industry again since then.
