He first found fame as a child actor, playing Jason Bateman’s book-smart brother on one of the most recognizable family sitcoms of the 1980s.
Now 55, the former young TV favorite cut a very different figure over the weekend as he was spotted out in Los Angeles with his 56-year-old wife.
She has screen credits of her own, including appearances on hit television shows such as CSI: NY and Charmed.
The California-born actor opted for a relaxed warm-weather look, wearing a blue T-shirt with gray shorts and finishing the outfit with casual slides.
His once-thick dark hair was worn short and looked visibly thinner, while a pair of sunglasses kept his eyes covered during the outing.
A father of two, he stepped away from Hollywood in 2004 to build a new career as an independent life and medical insurance agent in California, though he has made a return to acting in recent years.
So, do you recognize him?
The former child star became known for playing Jason Bateman’s brainy brother on a popular 1980s sitcom
Over the weekend, the 55-year-old actor looked unrecognizable as he stepped out with his wife, 56, in Los Angeles. Can you guess who he is?
That’s right, it’s Jeremy Licht! He famously starred in the hit show The Hogan Family.
Licht also appeared in Twilight Zone: The Movie as well as alongside Sally Field in the 1981 TV movie All The Way Home.
He was joined by wife Kimberly Wallis during his latest outing.
Wallis showed off her legs in a pair of denim shorts paired with a grey tank top.
She topped off the look with a black hat, with her brunette hair pulled back into a ponytail.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Licht and Wallis for comment.
Licht married Wallis in 2007. They have two children together.
He was previously married to Carol-Ann Plante from 1996 until 2001.
Licht and Bateman played brothers on The Hogan Family, which ran from 1986 to 1991.
The Hogan Family, which was originally titled Valerie, centered on Valerie Harper as Valerie Hogan, a mother balancing raising her three sons, working at an auction house and dealing with her pilot husband’s frequent absences.

Her sons were played by Bateman as David, Licht as Mark and Danny Ponce as Willie.
Harper left the series after two seasons due to a salary dispute. Sandy Duncan joined the cast as Sandy Hogan, the boys’ aunt who moved in and became their surrogate mother.
The show was renamed Valerie’s Family: The Hogans for its third season before becoming The Hogan Family for its final three seasons.
In June, Licht spoke about Bateman becoming like an ‘older brother’ to him on set, despite the times they ‘fought and argued.’
‘I have in real life a younger brother, so all of a sudden I had an older brother,’ he told Remind Magazine.
‘Jason was great, unbelievable professional, knew so much about, especially sitcoms,’ he said. ‘I had never really done a sitcom. I’d done an episode of something before, but never a sitcom and all of a sudden I’m booked on this show and he just knew timing.’
‘To this day, his timing is good. His cadence in everything is just amazing.’
He noted that there were times not everyone got along.

‘Was it always easy? No. We had three boys who were pre-and actively pubescent and of a certain age. And were there times that we fought and argued? Absolutely. Were we always showing up to rehearsals and professional? Absolutely.’
‘Because we experienced five years together, there can also be brutal honesty when things are challenging.’
Licht went on to say, ‘I love Jason and all of them, and my experience was all good.’
He added cast remain close to this day: ‘We still end up going to lunch every six months or so when we can all get our acts and schedules together.’
Licht’s most recent acting credit was in the 2025 short film Star-Crossed. His other notable credits include the 1980 TV movie The Comeback Kid, alongside John Ritter, and the 2023 short mystery thriller Seat 23B.
