Former “Family Ties” Star Brian Bonsall Sentenced to Probation

Brian Bonsall, best remembered as Andy Keaton on the hit sitcom “Family Ties,” was sentenced to two years probation on Friday after he was arrested on a domestic violence charge in March.

The 25-year-old actor admitted he had an alcohol and drug problem and completed a 30-day rehab program. On Friday he pled guilty to third-degree assault charge related to the March incident that, according to his girlfriend, involved choking and throwing her on a bed.

Bonsall joined the cast of “Family Ties” at the age of five and quickly became a favorite of viewers and added a new depth to the character of Alex Keaton played by Michael J. Fox.
