Actor Tim Williams who has had a quiet career, burst onto the scene in 2016, in his breakout role A commercial! Yes he is the spokesman for Trivago.com. Helen Hunt also had a career that was quiet, until a commercial spot, led her to stardom, on Mad About You. Tim Williams unfortunately has not found that breakout acting role that actors yearn for. If it's to happen, now is the time, and this is why. In the week following the election in the US in 2016 Tim Williams's IMDb ranking shot up over 5000 spots! Yes that's right. One week only. From 2014 with the release of Labyrinth of Lies , Playing the part of Major Parker his popularity has risen steadily from a low ranking of 60,000 to a peak of 5000. To put Star rankings into perspective Marion Michael Morrison who has not made a picture since 1976 and passed away in 1979 had a Star ranking of 24 10 years after his death! 1989 was the first year of any actors ranking. Marion Michael Morrison's current ranking is 905 and in mid 2016 was over 1000. Not bad for "The" most internationally recognized actor of the 20th Century! Oh did I forget to mention Marion Michael Morrison was John Wayne! Tim Williams has "It", Looks and talent, Just like The "Duke". Hollywood needs to capitalize on his popularity with the many women who are new fans between the ages of 30 through 55. Lets hope it will be long before his agent is contacted by somebody, and we see more of this American-born actor.
Tim who was born in Houston Texas in 1966, spent a lot of his time, between there and New York, because his father was head golf pro, at a private country club. His parents eventually divorced the year Tim became a teenager in 1979. While he was permanently in New York at this time, he eventually settled, with his mother and sister, back in Houston later that year. While in high school, he was bitten by the acting bug. He walked into the drama class one day after school, and asked the teacher, "Could you make me an actor." Well he did and learned his craft well. Also around that same time, Williams was becoming obsessed, with the rock music of the bands, Kiss, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, and Led Zeppelin. He also played in a few bands locally. After leaving high school, he decided to move to New York, and pursue roles on, "off-off Broadway" plays and TV shows. He also managed at that time to procure an agent.
His agent had no trouble, finding the handsome young actor, his first acting role. This was on the Cosby Show. He played the part of a teenage boy who got an underage teenage girl pregnant. His part, in that particular episode, ended up on the cutting room floor. That was because, it was, too far outside the comfort zone, at that time, for Network Execs. His first official listed acting role, was with Claire Danes, on the TV show, "My So-Called Life". This was followed, by an appearance on, "The Sopranos". This would lead to his next gig that took him across the pond to Europe.Shortly after this
Shortly after this he auditioned, and won the lead role, in a German film. Not knowing the language, and against the advice of his agent, he took the role anyway. While filming there, he began to learn the German language. While working on the film, he met a local girl. He fell in love. Tim soon made a decision, to permanently stay Germany, in late August 2001. Several days later in New York on Sep 11 the city was attacked. 9/11 solidified his decision to stay in Germany.
With this new commitment, he was determined to learn the German language. Today he speaks it fluently, with no hint of an American accent! Many actors are able, to pull off an accent, at will. But Tim's commitment, to learn German, and be able to be employed, in that country while speaking German, speaks volumes.
Eventually he found his way onto a German television soap opera, Guten Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten (2012-2013). In English that translates to, Good Times, Bad Times. He plays an American rock star whose time has passed. He is perfect for the role, as he has been playing guitar, since high school. He doesn't have to do his best air guitar! Before he got this role however, had been in numerous American and German productions, between 2001-11. Most notable was, "Valkyrie" (2008) starring Tom Cruise).
As mentioned earlier, Tim who has been mostly unknown in the United States until the Trivago commercial, came and went in public in The U.S. as he pleased and was never noticed. Now he's as recognizable as George Clooney. While considering himself as, not being "Famous", he was recently contacted for an interview by Elle magazine. Not sure that the contact was real, he met the reporter at a restaurant. The reporter was naturally female. He wasn't sure it was an interview or a crazed fan. She was the real thing however.
Still calls Germany his home. Recently working back in Germany. The movie Ballon (2018) which is in post-production, and an episode of the TV program, Die Diplomatin (2018). Still the Trivago.com Spokesman (2018).- Composer
