Tim Allen

Home Improvement offered viewers life lessons, all while injecting comedy to ease audiences into feeling all warm and fuzzy. Tim Allen played the head of the household, family man, handyman, and a real everyman.

The actor receives residuals monthly, which so far have totaled a stunning $18 million. Allen has since played similar roles, most recently on the hit show Last Man Standing, but none of the roles have ever quite lived up to the original.
