The actor Tim Allen's father died when Allen was 11 years old. A drunk driver crashed into their car as his dad was driving home from a college football game. Nearly 50 years later, Allen still claims that his father's death "changed everything forever." In a recent (2012) interview he said,

"Do you think this is funny? Do you think this is necessary?" And I've had a tumultuous relationship with my creator ever since.
