JONATHAN TAYLOR THOMAS (Randy Taylor) was born in Bethlehem, Pa., and moved with his family to Sacramento five years ago. A child model and commercial performer, Jonathan has appeared in national spots for Burger King, Canon camcorders, and Kellogg's, among others. His first television acting role was as the son of Greg Brady in the recent comedy series "The Brady's." He has also appeared in industrial films and played a double role as Tiny Tim and the young Scrooge in a production of "Scrooge" at the Chatauqua Theater in Sacramento. Jonathan, 10, is an avid sport fisherman who dreams of someday fishing for halibut in the waters off Alaska. His biggest catch to date is a three-foot yellowtail -- almost as big as Jonathan himself -- which he caught off the coast of Mexico.
