Tim Allen

Award-winning actor and comedian Tim Allen can next be seen in the new ABC comedy series “Shifting Gears.” He most 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. This time around it’s Toy meets Tech. Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the rest of the gang’s jobs get exponentially harder when they go head-to-head with this all-new threat to playtime.

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 television 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) and “For Richer or Poorer” (1997); “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.
