Where is the Cast of Family Ties Today?

Michael Gross has kept a steady, eclectic career since Family Ties ended. While everyone else chased big headlines, he went the opposite direction—working constantly, quietly, and across every genre imaginable. Many know him best as survivalist Burt Gummer from the long-running Tremors films, a role he’s played for decades with obvious joy.

He’s stayed grounded and private, never trying to stay in the spotlight, just showing up and doing the work. Even now, in his seventies, he still acts regularly, popping up in TV guest roles and indie films. He’s become one of Hollywood’s rare steady constants.
