“I can’t say enough,” Elizabeth told J-14 last year on working with her dad. “It was an honor to be on set. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to work with my dad. It was just a blast. I had the best time. He was cracking jokes 24/7 on and off camera. There were so many great behind the scene moments and bloopers and it was so, so much fun.”
Tim also spoke about how “over the moon” he was, being able to work with his daughter. “It was such a surprise, certainly to myself and her mom as we both looked at each other as she kept going through the [auditioning] ranks,” he explained.
The Last Man Standing actor even said he originally just wanted her to be an extra as a fun Christmas present for her and their family, but “she went through the process, literally separate from me being part of it.” Tim shared that his daughter used to help him with scripts for Last Man Standing and also with his comedy bits, which definitely went a long way.
