GENESIS WAVE - THREE: Sweeping across the Alpha Quadrant at a terrifying speed, a wave of Genesis energy has wiped out whole populations of entire planets, rearranging matter on a molecular level to create bizarre new landscapes and life-forms. The U.S.S. Enterprise ¿, commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, managed to counter the threat, halting the wave in its tracks and stopping the alien race that had sent the wave crashing through the galaxy. In the process the crew saved trillions of souls and hundreds of inhabited planets from the mutagenic wave. Earth itself, as well as the Romulan Empire, was saved from obliteration. Now nothing is left to do but clean up the mess the Genesis Wave left behind. Or so it seems. Unknown to Picard and his crew, the use of the Genesis Wave on a galactic scale had weakened the walls between our dimension and one right next door, one that harbors a deadly threat to not only the survival of civilization throughout the galaxy, but the survival of reality itself. The Genesis Wave, Book Three, is the final volume of an apocalyptic adventure that pits the desperate crew of the Starship Enterprise against a disaster of universal proportions. --This text refers to the Digital edition.

In the summer of 1997, Tim, along with friend, colleague, and director, Nate Thomas, produced, co-wrote, and played a role in an independent feature film entitled, "EAST OF HOPE STREET", a fact-based autobiographical account of Thomas' experience in Los Angeles.  The film is about minority teenagers caught up in the labyrinthine child protection system in Los Angeles, and specifically revolves around a teenage girl who struggles to overcome the abuses of home, the inner city, and an overburdened social system that most people never see.

"EAST OF HOPE STREET" was shot on a budget of of less than $100,000, and is being described as a cross between "Stand & Deliver" and "Boyz 'n' the Hood". It has won numerous theatrical awards in festivals across the U.S. It is on a limited theatrical run, after which it will be available on video. 

In January 26 - 30, 1998, Tim debuted as a director on the STAR TREK: VOYAGER'S episode entitled, "LIVING WITNESS".  The episode was based on how we piece together history using bits and pieces of the past, and how we're not always right in our assumptions.

Tim also directed his sister's independent instructional video project, "BALLET 101 - A BEGINNER'S CLASS", a step-by-step ballet video that follows a University of Southern California dance syllabus, and teaches the basics of ballet right from your living room.  It is designed for ages 5 years through adult.  The video, and it's predecessor, "BALLET 201, BEYOND THE BASICS", picked up a distributor and both are available through Amazon.com, Time Warner Book-of-the-Month, Hill's Dancewear Retail Stores, and a variety of catalogues & on-line stores.

July of 1999, Tim read an audio book entitled, "STAR TREK: VULCAN'S HEART".  Enmeshed in the treacherous political intrigues of the Romulan capital, and undone by a fire that grows ever hotter within his blood, Ambassador Spock must use all of his logic and experience to survive a crisis that will ultimately determine the fate of empires.

Tim also read one of the stories featured in the audio book, "GREAT ANGEL FANTASIES - Nine Celestial Chronicles", by Dove Books. The story was entitled, "The Man Who Loved the Faioli", by Robert Silverberg.  This audio book is a collection of highly imaginative and intensely spiritual stories about the angels among us, and the paranormal. (1996)

Many of Tim's roles were "negligible", as he puts it.  Some of his earlier, more memorable work includes the portrayal of Robert Johnson in the motion picture, "CROSSROADS". Robert Johnson was an extremely talented blues guitarist - one of the few blacks to be recorded in his day. This film stars Ralph Macchio, and is a fictionalized present day drama based on the legend of Robert's deal with the devil, in exchange for his extraordinary musical gifts. Tim portrays Robert during one of his recording sessions at the very beginning of the film, and is featured (standing in the crossroads) on the cover of the video cassette & promotional material. (1986)

Tim portrayed a camp counselor named Jerry in charge of a group of juvenile boys who were sent to a disciplinary camp in the motion picture, "FIRE WITH FIRE".  This story of a forbidden love affair between a boy imprisoned in a juvenile detention camp and a girl in a Catholic girl's school, played by Virginia Madsen. (1986)

You may remember Tim in "SPACE BALLS", the Mel Brooks parody of the Star Wars trilogy.  It's a jumble of jokes, and mimics the principle characters of the original Star Wars.  Tim is the trooper who is assigned to comb the desert but can't seem to find anything. (1987)

Tim plays a musician named Harris in the movie, "BIRD", directed by Clint Eastwood. This movie, starring Forest Whitaker, is a heartfelt biography, of legendary saxophonist, Charlie Parker, who revolutionized jazz music in the 1940's. (1988)

In a short-lived series entitled, "THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR", Tim played the wise cracking "answering machine guy", an alter ego who actually came out of the answering machine in knock-around clothes, suspenders and Converse tennis shoes - to mouth off at the lead character.

In "WHO GETS THE FRIENDS", Tim played a travel agent and friend to Jill Clayberg's character.  He managed to assist her character through some personal challenges.

Another series that had a longer run, was "THE HIGHWAYMAN", in which Tim played a technical expert, D.C. Montana, who assisted the superhero, played by Energizer spokesperson and Australian wrestler, Jacko. Together they solved unusual crimes using a MAC truck that converted into a helicopter.(1988)

Tim sang and danced in the Los Angeles based, Broadway production of "DREAM GIRLS", starring Jennifer Holiday, where he played Jennifer's talent agent.
