The Incredible Incarnations Of Tim Allen

From dogs to cars, Tim Allen has portrayed an impressive number of distinctive characters. In his newest show he plays a father to three daughters! Last Man Standing premieres on ABC Tuesday Oct 11, 8|7c.

• 1. Buzz Lightyear

  Buzz is a ranger in Star Command, though Andy's Room is a considerably more limited frontier. This was the first time Allen took on a voice-only role, roles which, ever since, have been a prominent part of his career.

• 2. Santa Clause

  

  In The Santa Clause, Tim Allen's role as Santa Clause didn't have just one big difference from his others...

• 3.

  

  But bigger...

• 4.

  

  And bigger ones.

• 5. Captain Zoom

  

  Okay, so the outfit's a little questionable (that's how it goes with most superheroes), but Captain Zoom's superpower, naturally, is super-speed, so you never see it anyway.

• 6. Buzz Lightyear Car

  

  In the movie Cars, Tim Allen's iconic character from Toy Story got a cameo and a new paint job as a car.

• 7. The Shaggy Dog

  

  Dave Douglas is just a dude with a normal job, except that he casually transforms into a big dog on occasion. Gotta make due with what you've got, which is exactly what Allen did in this role.

• 8. Melbar Prime

  

  A completely different role for Allen, Melbar Prime's one of the main villains in Jimmy Neutron. He's not that bad, though--just a giant organic head attached to a robotic body.
