I’ve been a professional actor for 30 years with strong roots in the theatre, performing in seasons with The Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Actor’s Theatre of Louisville, Utah Shakespearean Festival, Portland Center Stage, The Intiman, and many many others. I co-founded the award-winning and wildly successful Third Rail Repertory Theatre in Portland, Oregon, and just this past year became the Founder and Artistic Director of the critically acclaimed Door Number 3 theatre company in Los Angeles. Since moving to LA in 2013, I’ve been working consistently, guest starring on Modern Family, Criminal Minds, Scandal, Workaholics, and NCIS: Los Angeles, to name a few. I’ve had recurring roles on HBO’s hit series Big Little Lies and Netflix’s Peabody Award-winning American Vandal. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work alongside and share the stage and screen with six Academy Award-winning actors and countless Emmy winners.

Tim's class is a great resource for anyone looking to improve their acting skills, audition technique, or general understanding of the industry. He does a wonderful job of translating his extensive experience into practical advice for other actors. Every week, he provides individualized feedback to each workshop participant on every aspect of their submission. I've learned so much about specific techniques for television and film acting, the practical and technical considerations when putting together a self-tape, as well as just general professionalism and industry standards. Thanks to this workshop, I feel much more confident and prepared for what a career in acting entails.
This is a very useful class. I've learned a lot about making self tapes that I didn't know before - from technical considerations to acting skills. The class is friendly, supportive, and useful.
I love working with Tim! He consistently guides me to do my best possible work, and I always walk away feeling confident that I crushed the audition, whatever it is. And booking several jobs after getting coached by him certainly doesn't hurt!
