Before Tim Allen changed his name, it use to be Timothy Allen Dick. He was
born in Colorado on June 13,1953. He has 6 brothers. When his family moved
to Detroit Michigan suburb of Brimingham he was only 13 years old.
His favorite subject in high school was the shop. He was the class clown. He
graduated from Western Michigan University in 1975 with a degree in Television
production.
In 1978 Tim spent 2 years in jail because of dealing drugs. When Tim was
released he had a new outlook on life. In 1979 Tim started a stand up comedy
career at the Comedy Castle in Detroit (from a friends dare). He has been
selling out concert engagements all over the USA. He has been on some cable
shows shows such as "Tim Allen: Men are Pigs", "Just for Laughs",
"Comedy Club All Stars 2" and "Comedy All Stars 7".
Tim's movie carrer basicly started when he did the Disney film called "The Santa Clause." He played a
role of Scott Calvin/Santa Clause. During christmas Scott takes care of his son. Late at night nobody but
Santa Clause falls on there roof. Tim does not know but by putting on the suite he agrees to the "Santa
Clause". Since he is the new Santa Clause he has a big belly, a long beard and white hair.
In his next film he did "Toy Story" (a Disney and pixar computer animation joint projet). Tim plays the
voice of the greatest space action figure, Buzz Lightyear, who is new to Andy's toyroom. Andy's favorite
toy Woody (Tom Hanks) gets jealous and in a fight with Buzz Lightyear gets them both knocked out of
the window. The two of them now have to put there differences behind them and work together to get
back to Andy's Room. They face many challenges especially Andy's neighbor who destorys toys. Toy
Story was the first movie to ever be entirely animated on computers.
Tim started working on "Jungle to Jungle" during the summer of 1996. They started shooting in
Venezuela and then move to New York where it finished shooting on July 15. Tim playes a character
named "Micheal Cromwell". After all the work on the stock-exchange floor you would think the
overworked Micheal Cromwell would be perpared for Mimi-Siku, the son he never knew he had.
Tim started his first book called, "Don't Stand to Close to a Naked Man". This book explains why
men are different from women.(this book gives helpfull hints on how to deal with the opposite sex...)
Tim wonders into the mysteries of the sexes. Also talking about his life and the twists of fate that landed
him both a prison term and the succesful comedy carrer.
These are a few quotes from Tim: "Men look at women the way men look at cars. Everyone looks
at Ferraris. Now and then we like a pickup truck, and we end up with station wagons."
"Everyone plays golf now, which is a lot like going to a strip club. You get all charged up, pay big
money to hang out on a beautiful course, and start driking early. Eighteen holes later you're
plastered and frustrated and most of your balls are missing."
"I'm not really here" (his second book) *****MORE INFO ON HIS BOOK COMING SOON*******
Tim Taylor, man of the house, master of the garage. Tim and his wife Jill have three sons who are more
than a handful. Sometimes it seems he has a hard time remembering he's a parent, and not the oldest brother.
Example: Randy, the middle son, destroys his new bicycle by jumping off a five foot ramp he and some friends
built. Randy explains he was challenged and had to do it. While Jill is yelling at him and thinking of how he should
be punished, Tim's first thought is, "how high and far did you go?!!!" Tim Taylor: father. Thankfully Jill is there to
keep him in line. He should also be thankful for his two friends Wilson, his next door neighbor, and Al Borland. Al
works for Tim on his cable tv show "Tool Time." Tim's show is about home improvement and Al is there to assist
him. Good thing, seems Tim is usually having too much fun and constantly goofing off which usually leeds to alot of
accidents on the show. He also likes to add "more power" to his home appliances; this also usually ends up with
someone going to the hospital! Although he sometimes has trouble understanding his wife and sons, he usually
finds the right thing to do or say. After all, Tim loves his tools and his cars...but he love his family and friends just
as much. (Well....almost.)
