Award-winning actor and comedian Tim Allen can be seen in the ABC
comedy series “Shifting Gears.” He recently starred in and
executive produced the Disney+ series “The Santa Clauses,”
reprising his role as Scott Calvin/Santa in the second season, which
premiered in November 2023. He also starred on the hit sitcom “Last
Man Standing,” which aired its ninth and final season on FOX in
2021, as Mike Baxter, a happily married father of three daughters, who
finds himself the odd man out as he tries to maintain his manliness in
a home dominated by women. Allen is also reprising his role as Buzz
Lightyear in Disney and Pixar’s upcoming “Toy Story 5,”
scheduled for release on June 19, 2026.

Allen continues to perform stand-up shows to sold-out crowds across
the country. He honed his talents as a stand-up comic throughout the
‘80s, providing the perfect lead-in to his highly successful ABC
series “Home Improvement,” where he garnered a Golden Globe®
Award and an Emmy® nomination, and was honored with the People’s
Choice Award for Favorite Male Performer in a Television Series for an
unprecedented eight years in a row. In 1999, during the final season
of “Home Improvement,” Allen was honored with the TV Guide Award
for Favorite Actor in a Comedy Series.

During “Home Improvement”’s run at the top of the primetime
charts, Allen revisited his comedy roots with a successful national
concert tour. He also found time to pen his first book about the male
perspective, “Don’t Stand Too Close to a Naked Man,” topping the
New York Times Bestseller List. This was followed by his second
bestseller, “I’m Not Really Here,” focusing on midlife, family
and quantum physics.

He made his film debut playing a holiday icon in “The Santa
Clause” (1994), earning him another People’s Choice Award, and
went on to star in “The Santa Clause 2” (2002) and “The Santa
Clause 3” (2006). Other film credits include voicing the beloved yet
deluded space ranger Buzz Lightyear in the “Toy Story” franchise;
hit comedies “Jungle 2 Jungle” (1997); “For Richer or Poorer”
(1997); “Galaxy Quest” (1999) opposite Sigourney Weaver, Alan
Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, and Sam Rockwell; “Big Trouble” (2002);
“Christmas with the Kranks” (2004) starring opposite Jamie Lee
Curtis; “The Shaggy Dog” (2006); “Wild Hogs” (2007) opposite
John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy; and starring in
his feature film directorial debut “Crazy On The Outside” (2010)
with Sigourney Weaver and Ray Liotta.
