Stephen Tobolowsky is one of those amazingly memorable character actors who seems to pop up in everything, but when scheduling conflicts kept him from shooting the "Home Improvement" pilot, the role of Tim "The Toolman" Taylor's sidekick Al Borland went to Richard Karn.

Both are great actors. But I'm very glad it worked out the way it didm

He was also the producers first choice to play Frasier Crane in Cheers I believe.

I don't even know who that man is.

God bless you and him always!!!

He's a long time character actor, usually plays a nerd or an annoying type character. He was great in the movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray.

^^^ I saw that film when it was in the theater, but I have not seen it since then and I was still just a kid back then.

God bless you always!!!
