Tim began his quest to perform in feature films and TV after absorbing higher learning at CW Post college on Long Island. His first professional job came by way of the Gong Show in August of 1978. He was a contestant on an Elvis Presley special because Chuck Barris was a fan of The King. He then called his JV coach from Iona Prep, Vic Magnotta, whom he saw perform in Taxi Driver and an opportunity occurred through football being played in the film The Wanderers. Magnotta had met Martin Scorcese while students at NYU and his love of film was formed. Vic continued to offer opportunities to perform and he met many of the people who he would collaborate with over the next 40+ years. Danny Aiello III was a close friend and business partner who provided opportunity with stunts, acting and producing as the world of film and TV continued to expand.
