Tim Allen

Born June 13, 1953 - Denver, Colorado

This energetic comedic actor is one of nine children, born in Colorado and raised in Michigan.

His favorite class in high school was shop (a natural springboard to his successful TV show Home Improvement) and after graduating from college with a degree in television production, did a number of shows (and time as a stand-up comic as well as a tough drug brush with the law) before landing his own TV show.

He moved on to the silver screen and is probably best known for his voice of Buzz Lightyear of the Toy Story series and of Santa in the Santa Clause series.

Personal Quote: "Men are pigs. Too bad we own everything."
