Actor Earl Hindman's face was usually obscured by a fence in the '90s sitcom "Home Improvement." In the show, Hindman portrayed the character Wilson W. Wilson Jr., the friendly and wise neighbor of Tim Allen's character, Tim "The Toolman" Taylor. Wilson was known for his helpful advice and insights, often shared over the backyard fence. While Wilson's face was not entirely hidden, his lower face was typically concealed, leaving only his eyes and forehead visible to the audience. This creative choice added to the humor and intrigue surrounding Wilson's character throughout the series, which aired from 1991 to 1999.
