  • Comedian Tim Allen, star of the hit sitcom "Home improvement" and the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the "Toy Story" animated films, talks with correspondent Tracy Smith about the difficult past (including the loss of his father to a drunk driver) that led to a stellar standup career; the struggles with addiction problems that almost ended it all; and the happiness of being sober for more than 20 years.

    Tim Allen is just amazing. I'm happy for him for what he is doing now. I grew up to this man. And it's wonderful that he loved Home Improvement and for keeping the props from the show. I'm happy that he did Buzz Lightyear. Here's a fun fact, Billy Crystal was the original Buzz. Because he thought the movie had no potential and didn't think it would be big, he gave the part up. I'm glad it happened this way. The movie was a huge success, and Billy was so regretful that he gave up the part. But him being Mike Wazowski was better. Even though Tim lost his dad young, he still kept going. I hope Tim does more.
