Timothy E. Nesbitt(1959-1998)

Tim began a college career in computer science, however he took a
speech class which offered extra credit to help out the College's
production of The Persecution & Assasination of Jean Paul Marat as
Performed By The Inmates of Charenton Assylum Under the Direction of
the Marquis de Sade (apparently some of the original cast members had
some emotional and/or psychological issues with the content of the
play). Tim played the "Mad Animal" inmate and managed to literally
attack the audience. He was hooked & changed to a theatrical degree, he
went on to both stage and film roles. Tim left SC in 1981 and lived for

as well. After Italy Tim lived in San Diego, CA for 5 years where he
worked at Scripp's Clinic & Research Foundation where he started out as
a janitor and left with the position of Lead Medical Secretary and
Clerical Trainer. San Diego introduced him to the world of film when he
got a part as a papparazi in that great film classic, Killer Tomatoes
Eat France. Ever restless he was offered a position at Cedars-Sinai
Hospital in Los Angeles and Tim became the administrative assistant to
the director of the Department of Technology Development and Clinical
Trials. Los Angeles offered Tim the role of a Zombie on the Universal
Studios Backlot where he again had the pleasure of attacking in
audience on their Halloween Haunted Tram. Tim later moved to Dallas
where he had starring roles as Orville Turnover in Daddy's Dying Who's
