Where is the Cast of Home Improvement Today?

Janet Carroll played Gary, the tough-as-nails owner of Gary’s Shoes and Al Bundy’s boss. She was the rare woman who could intimidate Al, keeping him in check with her sharp wit and no-nonsense attitude. Whenever Gary showed up, you knew Al’s day was about to get worse.

Before her recurring role on Married… with Children, Carroll had already built an impressive résumé in film and television, including Risky Business opposite Tom Cruise. Her performance as Gary stood out for balancing authority with dry humor, proving she could command a scene effortlessly.
