Jonathan Taylor Thomas – Harvard Graduate

John Taylor Thomas is the voice of the famous lion, Simba, in the Disney movie classic Lion King. He also played the role of Randy Taylor in the ABC 90’s sitcom Home Improvement. He worked alongside Tim Allen. After working for seven successful years on the show, he decided to leave in 1998. Not only did he leave this production but also retired from his acting career.

After he left, he focused on his studies and was able to earn a degree at Harvard, thanks to his hard work and dedication. He told People “I never took the fame too seriously. 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.”
