Tim TaylorTim "The Tool Man" Taylor is a fictional character on the American television sitcom "Home Improvement", played by Tim Allen. Tim Taylor is the husband of Jill Taylor and father of Brad, Randy and Mark, and lives in the suburbs of Detroit. Most of his time is spent in his garage, working with his large collection of tools on his hot rod, which he loves as much as he loves his wife. A hot rod enthusiast, Tim is knowledgeable on all things related to cars, and is fond of listing the different parts inside a particular car that catches his attention. This is usually followed by his trademark grunting. He is also somewhat obsessed with modifying machines and household appliances for more power, because he likes doing things the "man's way". Most of the time, the rewired machines will backfire and cause some kind of accident. Nevertheless, he tries to pass these qualities to his sons. Taylor is deliberately funny, and caring, but incompetent. He hosts his own television program, "Tool Time", in which he and his assistant Al Borland teach audiences about home improvement. While Tim considers himself to be the star of the show and is a celebrity in Detroit, Al is always the more popular one with the viewers. Tim's rival is real-life home improvement specialist Bob Villa, who made a few guest appearances on the show. Living next door to the Taylors is Wilson, the man who helps Tim with his problems by quoting philosophers and historical figures. Tim, who is apparently not as intelligent as his wife Jill, has trouble understanding what Wilson tells him but eventually manages to figure it out on his own. However, he tends to mix up the words when trying to repeat Wilson's quotes. Tim has three brothers. His father passed away when he was about 11 years old.
