Richard Propes of The Independent Critic states, ''If you know indie actor Timothy J. Cox, then you already know he's a serious actor. Cox has always had a bit of an "ordinary joe" aura going on about him. He's comfortable playing a wide range of characters and he's not beyond going way out of his comfort zone when the script calls for it''.In a career that began when he won the lead role in his eighth grade school musical, something that he auditioned for just to get out of Math class, critically acclaimed indie character actor Timothy J. Cox has shown no signs of slowing down.Born in Philadelphia, Mr. Cox began studying acting in high school, performing in numerous plays and musicals. During this time the actor saw two performances on film that inspired him to make acting his life's work, Jack Lemmon in Le jour du vin et des roses (1962) and Donald Sutherland in Des gens comme les autres (1980). Both performances, especially Lemmon's (one of the actor's many idols) had a profound effect on the young actor. Mr. Cox continued his acting studies at Marietta College in Marietta, Ohio and appeared in numerous plays, many of them classical works by the likes of Shakespeare, Moliere, Feydeau and Sophocles.After graduating from college in 1999, Mr. Cox worked a series of odd jobs back in Wilmington, Delaware, where he did the majority of his growing up, but also found time to appear in a few theatre productions before he made the move to New York City in 2001, where, for close to a decade, Mr. Cox worked primarily as a stage actor, appearing in numerous Off-Broadway and Off-Off Broadway productions, with the occasional film project thrown in.Starting in 2009, Mr. Cox decided to go all in on film work and it has paid off handsomely, as the actor has amassed over 100 film credits, in roles large and small, classical and contemporary, earning rave reviews from critics all around the world and praise from filmmakers. Acclaimed writer and director Matthew Kyle Levine had this to say, ''His attention to detail and subtlety within the framework of the character is something to behold. I'm fascinated by the work he's done in his other films, and when I worked with him I was fascinated by what he brought to the table on set. With every performance Timothy J. Cox seems to take on an entirely new life and it's a profound thing to see, both behind the camera and on the screen."Mr. Cox received similar praise from acclaimed writer and director Chase Pearson "Working with Timothy J. Cox was an amazing experience. His depth of knowledge, not only with filmmaking, but the characters he chooses to inhabit, creates a set environment that transcends work into art. With the ability to be likable, funny, dramatic, and honest, he echoes some of the greats. A hint of Jack Lemmon comes to mind. In a world of constant special effects driven films, Timothy J Cox is a secret weapon. A great performance turns out to be the best special effect of all."This is an actor with a vast repertoire. And whether he's playing the sympathetic shrink; the fun loving Dad; the kind, reasonable friend of the protagonist; the unscrupulous authority figure, the sad sack or an alcoholic literature professor, Timothy J. Cox is an actor who brings an effortless and compelling simplicity to each character that he plays, borne of ease that only experience can bring.Mr. Cox now resides in the Dayton, Ohio area with his wife Jamie and their son, Spencer.
