Taran Noah Smith became known for his role as “Mark”, the youngest son of the family on the hit sitcom, Home Improvement. Once the show ended, the then 16-year-old decided he didn’t want to act anymore, with his reason being that he never really had the chance to decide what he wanted to do in life.
He married Heidi van Pelt on April 27, 2001, and in 2005, the two of them formed Playfood, a California-based non-dairy cheese manufacturer and restaurant that specializes in the selling of vegan and organic foods.
Unfortunately, his investment didn’t pan out, and it was closed down in 2009, while he and his wife divorced in 2007.

But, following his only movie appearance, Peter never really did pursue a career in acting. Instead, he became a veterinarian, and still practices until today in New York.
