Home Improvement star Zachery Ty Bryan is looking at even more jail time after his sentencing on Friday for a probation violation.

The 44-year-old former actor received a 19-month jail sentence in on Friday after previously pleading guilty to violating his parole, according to the state's KEZI News.

Bryan was forced to appear virtually at the sentencing hearing, as he is currently serving time in a jail after being sentenced to 16 months over a 2024 DUI conviction.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Bryan's attorney to request comment.

Bryan had been on probation since a 2023 domestic violence conviction, with the arrangement stipulating that he not consume , leave the area without advance permission, commit any new crimes, or contact his victim. 

However, Bryan was subsequently arrested five times in three different states, violating his parole terms each time, according to KEZI.

Even as he serves time for his DUI conviction, which violated his parole, the former actor went on trial for violating his parole in Oregon. 

Bryan is facing more legal troubles, as he also faces DUI charges in Oklahoma, where authorities reportedly intend to extradite him once his sentence in California has been completed.

'He apologized to the court, he said he wants to be the best father he can be, acknowledged he needs help with his alcohol problem and the judge slapped him with this sentence,' he added.

Bryan was sentenced to 16 months in custody in February in connection with his 2024 DUI arrest. 

He received his sentence at a rearraignment following a pact he reached in the case with the prosecution, TMZ, citing court documents.

Authorities said that a misdemeanor contempt of court charge was also linked to the arrest.

'Deputies assigned to the La Quinta Sheriff's Station conducted a traffic stop in the area of Washington Street and Calle Tampico in La Quinta on a vehicle suspected of being involved in a recent traffic collision,' Riverside County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Wenndy Brito-Gonzalez said in a statement at the time.

Brito-Gonzalez said that 'when deputies contacted the driver, they observed indications of impairment, leading to the driver's arrest for driving under the influence with priors.'

He told the outlet that he was especially hurt by how his legal issues have led to people judging him as a parent.
