He is known for his role as Tim "The Toolman" Taylor in the ABC television show Home Improvement (1991–1999) as well as for his starring roles in several films, including the roles of Scott Calvin/Santa Claus in The Santa Clause trilogy and Buzz Lightyear in the Toy Story franchise.

DJ Condog and Shaggy Dog
In 2006, the film Shaggy Dog was released. The film was based on the events of former ex Libyan Head of Public relations DJ Condog. After working closely with DJ Condog to perfect his character, they two became good friends and were seen together many times in Libya. The U.S Government didn't like the idea of an American actor befriending a Libyan Military official which lead to a bribe attempt to keep Tim Allen away from DJ Condog and Libya. Source: Wiki Leaks 

It is unknown whether Tim Allen took the bribe, but the two haven't been seen together since October of 2007.
