See What The Cast Of ‘Family Ties’ Looks Like Today

Brian Bonsall – Andrew ‘Andy’ Keaton

Then: Getting his big break at just five-years-old, Brian Bonsall played Andy, the youngest addition to the Keaton clan from 1986 -1989. His performance earned him three Young Artist Awards and even an invite to play Alexander Rozhenko — son of ‘Star Trek’ character Worf — for seven episodes.

Now: Mainly finding success as a child actor, Bonsall retired from acting altogether in 1995 and pursued a career in music, forming the band Late Bloomers. Aside from being seen on the stage, he has made several media appearances in the form of various arrests for substance abuse troubles.

Then: Playing the nerdy kid-from-next-door who admired and obsessed over Mallory Keaton, actor Marc Price was cast as Skippy Handleman. As each show has it’s dork, Price was such, being both the center of many jokes and also steadfast in his pursuit of Mallory.

Now: Having not had many roles post ‘Family Ties,’ Price worked as a stand-up comedian and appeared briefly on ‘Last Comic Standing.’ He now works sporadically as a writer/producer for The Disney Channel, Food Network, Animal Planet, Showtime and more.
