He is proud of her ability to excel at anything she tries, including school work, hunting, and playing sports . Mike often finds himself annoyed with Outdoor Man's young slow - witted employee Kyle, and with Ryan, his politically liberal son - in - law and the father of Mike's grandson Boyd .

Mike is a graduate of the University of Michigan, and an amateur radio operator using the call sign KA0XTT . </Li> <Li> Nancy Travis as Vanessa Baxter, Mike's wife: Vanessa is a geologist working in the energy industry for a company that does hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking". In season four, Vanessa becomes frustrated with her job and decides to become a high school science teacher . Vanessa was ambiguous in her political views until season five, when she announces she is supporting Hillary Clinton for president, mainly because she thinks it will advance women's causes . She is also shown drinking wine frequently, and nearly as frequently mocked by Mike and her daughters about it . She is a graduate of Ohio State University . 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 bad puns, which irritate Mike and the girls to no end . </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 mother 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 (despite being nearly two years younger than Molly Ephraim, playing Kristin's younger sister); Krosney 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 (though her penchant for cutting class and ignoring homework might label her as voluntarily dumb), but excels in social situations . Interested in fashion (and little else), 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, selfish, insulting, and delinquent--she drinks underage, ignores all driving laws, shoplifts from Outdoor Man, and has been caught staying out all night--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 an excellent student, whose only weak subject is art, though she did have to change math classes to escape a prejudiced teacher . Eve is a member of Army Junior ROTC and works toward gaining admittance to West Point . Her attempt to do so is unsuccessful, which seriously depresses her, so in season six, Eve decides 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, he returned to be involved in Boyd's upbringing, and eventually the two reconciled and got engaged (at the end of season 3). Ryan holds liberal views, both politically and philosophically, and he and Mike routinely clash over their fundamentally opposing values, especially when it comes to child - rearing . Ryan wishes to raise his son without religion and patriotism, but neither Mike nor Kristin agree with this . His vegan diet, views on discipline, and what Mike sees as his oversensitivity are an affront to Mike's beliefs, but Ryan generally enjoys being a thorn in Mike's side . On rare occasions, Ryan and Mike agree on what is best for Boyd, but this usually puts them at odds with Kristin and / 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, and they regularly exchange barbs as if they don't like each other . In reality, they are good friends, despite being unwilling to admit it . Vanessa sees through their heated exchanges, often telling them to "get a room". Chuck is married to Carol (but the two do not always agree politically) and they have a son, Brandon, who is the same age as Eve . </Li> </Ul> <Li> Tim Allen as Mike Baxter: Mike is a father of three daughters and the director of marketing for the Outdoor Man chain of sporting goods stores . He fervently supports traditional American values, is a Protestant, and is politically conservative .
