Bryan publicly addressed his 2020 arrest, which followed an altercation with his girlfriend, in 2023. "We didn't even really get that physical," he said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "We got really loud. We were screaming and because we were in a townhome that had [thin walls], everybody could hear… At the end of the day, [the police] throw a bunch of counts at you because they ultimately want you to plead to something."

The actor played Brad Taylor, the eldest son of Tim Allen's Tim Taylor, on Home Improvement for eight seasons. Allen addressed his onscreen son's recent legal issues in the same 2023 interview with THR. "I don't know what's going on with him," the Santa Clause star said. "Zach is a great kid who has grown into a complex man. All you can do is step aside and let somebody go through their process. At a certain point, he deviated from the guy I know to somebody who is reacting to situations that I had nothing to do with and can't control."
Following his time on Home Improvement, Taylor appeared in episodes of shows like ER, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars, and Smallville, and also played a supporting role in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
