TIM ALLEN (Scott Calvin/Santa Claus/ Toy Santa Claus) has been busy since he ended his eight-year run on the highly successful television series "Home Improvement." The series, which ran for eight seasons on ABC, earned the actor an Emmy nomination and, in 1995, a Golden Globe Award for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. Tim also won eight People’s Choice Awards for Favorite Male Performer in a Television Series, from 1992 through 1999, for his role as Tim Taylor.
Allen moved effortlessly from his award-winning role on "Home Improvement" to a film career that finds him playing mythical figures and average guys alike to resounding success. He made his film debut in the 1994 blockbuster hit "The Santa Clause," for Walt Disney Pictures, which earned him another People’s Choice Award. Following that, he gave voice to the deluded space ranger Buzz Lightyear in the computer animated smash hit, "Toy Story," and its critically acclaimed sequel, "Toy Story 2." Allen has also starred in "Jungle 2 Jungle" for Disney, Universal’s "For Richer or Poorer" with Kirstie Alley, and the DreamWorks comedy "Galaxy Quest," with Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman. He was most recently seen starring in the 20th Century Fox comedy "Joe Somebody," Touchstone Pictures’ "Big Trouble," and the Paramount Classics comedy "Cletis Tout."
In 1994, Allen’s first book, Don’t Stand Too Close to a Naked Man, was published, topping the New York Times Bestseller List. His second book, I’m Not Really Here, published in November 1996, was also a bestseller.
