Actor: Tim Allen

Tim Allen served over two years in federal prison for drug trafficking before beginning his comedy career, having cooperated with prosecutors as part of a plea.

Home Improvement made him one of the biggest television stars of the 1990s, and Toy Story gave him Buzz Lightyear across four films.

The Santa Clause built a franchise, and Galaxy Quest gave him a genuinely good comic performance parodying William Shatner, which is the one worth revisiting.
