Jonathan Adams (born July 16, 1967) is an American actor. He is best known for playing Chuck Larabee on the sitcom Last Man Standing.

Early life[]

Adams was born on July 16, 1967, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[1]

Career[]

He has appeared in several roles in American television, including American Dreams on NBC, where he played series regular Henry Walker (2002–05). He portrayed Dr. Daniel Goodman in the first season of the Fox television series Bones. At the start of season 2, his character appointed Dr. Camille Saroyan (Tamara Taylor) to be the Jeffersonian's first head of forensics (the immediate boss of Temperance Brennan). Although he was supposed to have left on a short sabbatical, his character did not return. The show's creator, Hart Hanson, stated that Taylor's role was a better fit with the rest of the characters in the series.[2] He later appeared in the short-lived ABC crime drama Women's Murder Club.

Between 1996 and 2000, he spent four years at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival playing, among other roles, Petruchio in The Taming of the Shrew, Buckingham in The Three Musketeers and Guy Jacobs in Blues for an Alabama Sky by Pearl Cleage. He was also a voice actor in Army of Two: The 40th Day as Tyson Rios.
