In season four, Vanessa becomes frustrated with her job and decides to become a high school science teacher .

Vanessa has a tendency to put her foot in her mouth when around people of other races . Despite this, she and her African - American neighbor Carol Larabee seem to get along . Vanessa's humor tends to include puns . </Li> <Li> Amanda Fuller (seasons 2--6) and Alexandra Krosney (season 1) as Kristin Beth Baxter, the oldest daughter: Kristin, unlike her father, espouses more liberal beliefs . During her senior year of high school, Kristin became pregnant with her son, Boyd . She was a single mom living in the Baxter home until moving out in the season two finale . She began to reconcile with Boyd's father, Ryan, in season three, and the two get married between seasons four and five . Kristin worked at a diner until landing a job at an upscale restaurant run by a former co-worker at the end of season two . In season four, she becomes the manager of the new restaurant opened by Outdoor Man . Kristin tends to work extra hard in this new job to prove she did not get the position through nepotism, despite Mike and Ed frequently telling her she was qualified . Alexandra Krosney portrayed Kristin in the show's first season, but she was replaced by Amanda Fuller prior to season two for unspecified creative reasons . </Li> <Li> Molly Ephraim as Amanda Elaine "Mandy" Baxter - Anderson, the middle daughter: Mandy is nowhere near as intelligent as her sisters, but excels in social situations . Interested in fashion, she was one of the most popular girls at her high school . Mandy is very confident and creative, demonstrating traits found in her father . Unlike the rest of the family, she is lazy, conceited, insulting, and selfish, but occasionally displays moments of generosity and caring . She started dating Kyle in season 2 . As of season three, she is attending a local college and working at the diner where Kristin used to work . Later that same season, she begins an online clothing business, selling her self - designed fashions which she assembles in the basement of her parents' house . Kyle asks her to marry him in season 5, the 100th episode . She marries Kyle in season six, but they have yet to move out of the Baxter home . Up until she turned 21, a running gag on the show was Mike, Vanessa, and occasionally Kristin snatching glasses of alcohol out of Mandy's hand, usually followed by Mandy making a lame excuse . </Li> <Li> Kaitlyn Dever as Eve Baxter, the youngest daughter: Eve is an intelligent, athletic tomboy and generally has the same interests as Mike, including camping, sports, guns, and the military . She is Mike's favorite daughter, and excels at her hobbies . She frequently outplays the boys in soccer and makes the boys' football team as their placekicker . She is well aware of being the favorite over her two sisters . Eve has also inherited her father's sense of humor, and her trademark sarcastic wit is frequently directed at clueless sister Mandy . Eve is a member of Army Junior ROTC and works toward gaining admittance to West Point . Her attempt to do so is unsuccessful . In season six, Eve has decided to take a "personal year" rather than immediately attend college . She spends some of this time singing and playing guitar for money, but this proves to be unfruitful . During her gap year, Eve applies to the Air Force Academy in nearby Colorado Springs, and is accepted . </Li> <Li> Christoph Sanders as Kyle Anderson, a young employee at Outdoor Man: Kyle is universally recognized as a good guy . Kyle idolizes Mike, having grown up without a father figure . Kyle takes care of his grandmother who has dementia, and it is implied he grew up in her home . Kyle is often oblivious to social cues and is slow to catch on to the events happening around him . Kyle dated Kristin in season one and started dating Mandy in season two before proposing in season five, and marrying Mandy in season six . </Li> <Li> Héctor Elizondo as Edward "Ed" Alzate, Mike's longtime boss: Ed started a bait and tackle shop many years ago and hired Mike, who helped turn the shop into the 20 - store Outdoor Man chain . Ed is perhaps fifteen years older than Mike, but the two men bond over similar outdoor hobbies and shared conservative values . Mike regularly talks to Ed about the happenings in his home and occasionally seeks advice . Having been divorced four times, Ed's suggestions are rarely helpful . Ed is a Vietnam veteran, although he saw no combat in Vietnam, stating that he was a clerk in Saigon . He continues to help fellow veterans at the local Veterans of Foreign Wars hall with their Veteran Affairs paperwork . Ed is also a recurring target for jokes about his age and lack of hair, most often from Mike . It is revealed in season 6 that Ed has early onset dementia . </Li> <Li> Flynn Morrison (regular, seasons 2--6) and Evan and Luke Kruntchev (recurring, season 1) as Boyd Baxter, Kristin's son: Mike enjoys spending quality time with his grandson Boyd, and affectionately views him as the son he never had . Mike and Ryan often clash on how he should be raised . Boyd enjoys activities encouraged by both his father and grandfather . </Li> <Li> Jordan Masterson (regular, seasons 2--6) and Nick Jonas (guest star, season 1) as Ryan Vogelson, Boyd's Canadian father: Though Ryan initially fled when Kristin got pregnant, the two reconciled and got engaged at the end of season 3 . Ryan holds staunchly liberal views, both politically and philosophically . He and Mike routinely clash over their fundamentally opposing values, especially when it comes to child - rearing . Mike is often quick to point that many of Ryan's atheistic and liberal views are hypocritical . Ryan wishes to raise his son without religion and patriotism, but neither Mike nor Kristin allow this . His vegan diet, political correctness, views on discipline, and general sensitivity are an affront to Mike's beliefs . On rare occasions, Ryan agrees with Mike on what is best for Boyd's future, but this usually winds up creating rifts with Kristin or Vanessa . </Li> <Li> Jonathan Adams as Chuck Larabee (regular, seasons 4--6; recurring, seasons 2--3), Mike and Vanessa's neighbor: Chuck is a retired U.S. Marine and a veteran of the first Gulf War who runs a private security business and later takes charge of security for the Denver Outdoor Man . Chuck is an African - American, and often jokes with Mike about racial stereotypes . Mike and Chuck regularly exchange barbs as if they don't like each other .
