Why was Flynn Morrison “Boyd” Replaced in the Last Man Standing? 

Joining the show in 2012 and being the main cast for over 4 seasons, the replacement of Boyd came as shock to the fanbase. Most of them were confused about why Flynn was replaced in the first place.

However, things came to light that it was not the production team but the actor himself who decided to opt out of the show. Alongside, Flynn actress Molly Ephraim also left the show for a role in another movie The Front Runner which was about former U.S. Presidential candidate Gary Hart.

Yet there were no specific reasons disclosed from Flynn’s side regarding why he chose not to return. On the other hand, the writers also took it in a good way as they cast Jet Jurgensmeyer. Since in the 7th season Boyd’s character was in his teenage years, the team thought Jet would be a good call to age up the character and storyline.

Jet Jurgensmeyer who replaced Flynn Morrison was last seen playing Boyd at his parents’ gender reveal party in Season 8. On the viewer’s concern about less screentime of Boyd, the director said that there were only limited storylines with Boyd.

Furthermore, as the seasons progressed, the story revolved around more on Mike and his relationship with his children. So, it explains why there were limited scenes including Boyd.

Flynn Morrison’s Character For Boyd Was Changed Three Times

Not many know the fact that the character of Boyd was portrayed by someone else before Flynn Morrison. However, this doesn’t include fans who have been following the show from the first season of The Last Man Standing.

Prior to casting Flynn Morrison as Boyd Baxter, the character was portrayed by the twins Evan and Luke Kruntchev. However, the twins in the series for only the first season.

Soon after Flynn took over as Boyd from starting of season two and lasted till season six. In the meantime, Flynn left the show. It was the same time when the show’s forecasting channel was transferred from ABC to Fox. When the seventh season premiered, the role of Boyd was taken over by Jet.

Where Are The Actors Who Played Boyd now?

The character of Boyd was played by different actors over the various seasons i.e twin Kruntchev in first, Flynn Morrison from second to sixth, and Jet Jurgensmeyer for the remaining.

As for Flynn Morrison who was seen in most of the seasons, he later appeared in the show Pretty Little Liars. In the sitcom, he was Malcolm Cutler who was supposed to be the son of  Maggie Cutler with Ezra Fitz. However, it turned out to be a lie as the show progressed. In the series, Flynn’s on-screen mom Maggie was played by Larisa Oleynik. While Flynn’s supposed-to-be father figure was portrayed by Ian Harding.
