TRIVIA: His wife, Tudi Roche, periodically appeared on "Home
Improvement" as Jill's sister.
Graduated University of Washington with B.F.A. from the
Professional Actors Training Program.
Richard's life changed forever on the day he rolled through a
stop sign on his way home from a rehearsal of "Macbeth." He
promptly landed in traffic school, where he met an agent who
told him about "Home Improvement."
Worked as an apartment building manager prior to his success on
"Home Improvement", and even maintained that job during the show's
first season until he knew the show would be successful.
His last name is omitted from his stage name because it was
discovered that the Screen Actors Guild already had an actor by
the name of Richard Wilson.
His son, Cooper, goes to Campbell Hall. This school was also once
attended by Andy Garcia's children, Denzel Washington's daughter
(Olivia), Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen and Andrew Lawrence.
Richard is an avid golfer (20 handicap)
Richard made an appearance in The Strokes' music video for "Someday",
which featured segments of the band on a fictional showing of Family
Feud against the band Guided by Voices.
WHERE IS HE NOW: Richard parlayed his Home Improvement TV
success into three books that he wrote:
In 1999, he released the book, House Broken: How I Rebuilt My Home
for Just Under Three Times the Original Bid, humorously discussed
Karn's misadventures in renovating his house. The best-selling book
also discussed his experiences working on "Home Improvement."
Then the book, Handy at Home hit stores in the fall of 2002...
followed the next year by Household Hints 2003.
From 2002 to 2006 he hosted the game show, 'Family Feud' taking
over for Louie Anderson.
In later years Richard did some infomercials two of the most
notable ones are "Internet Tool Box" and "Little Giant Ladder
Systems".
He continues to act too... most recently he was featured in
an episode of the Courteney Cox TV show 'Dirt'.
