I was a design student and a philosopher and my standup comedy is about a mess with people in a good way, ”said Allen, 71, Weekly US. “I came to a huge family run by women. So my point of view is very different about men. I don’t think we are running things. So I want this to be that guy.

The actor noted that Matt is not “like the other men” He brought life to life.
“This is a new character and is much closer to (who I am). I’ve been by grief in my life with the loss of my father, ”he shared. “I’ve been wonderful to be a comedian and so that’s who this is (character). If I did it again, I wanted to get so much closer to the (man). “

I’m just really careful about this. I want it to happen where it’s organic and right. “

“The story of Nancy Travis is really clever,” allen teased before reflecting on his off -screen friendship with Travis. “Nancy Travis once told me (something) after I called her during Last man standing. I said, ‘Have you talked to the girls (who play our girls) over the summer?’ Then this long pause and she goes, ‘Tim, it’s not our daughters and I’m not your wife really.’ “

While Allen enjoyed shaping his character Moving gears, He admitted not sure to start Join the show.
“It was a complex decision. I was doing Disney+’s Santa Claus Series at the time I said, ‘I can’t think of this now,’ ”he continued. “Do I want to make linear TV? I was so depressed on how streaming has hurt TV. So if I did it, I want to lift it up. “
His comedy sat past that Allen eventually caused to reconsider. “I’ve made Mike Baxter (onwards Last man standing) and Tim Taylor (onwards Improve home), ”He noted. “So if I do this again, I set three things: I want a man who recently lost his wife, so he deals with grief; I want a guy with the family that doesn’t get on; And then he has a custom car shop. “
