Tim was born on June 22, 1956, in Washington, D.C., to Air Force officer Walt and his wife Josephine, who works for the state of California. Over the years, Tim and his younger siblings Michael and Angela grew up on several military bases all over the world. During all of these moves, he graduated from Izmir High School in Turkey, and received his diploma from Rome Academy in New York. After graduating from high school, he attended Saint Edwards University and earned a B.S. in Theater Arts but pursued theater studies at Illinois State University.



… More Tim's very first professional job came while attending St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas where he appeared in a PBS Masterpiece Theater production, but he did not seriously start pursuing an acting career full time until 1985. He is best known for his role on Star Trek: Voyager as the ever stiff but likable Vulcan security officer Tuvok, and also for his many varied roles and works as a sci-fi director. Tim is also a highly accomplished musician and has released several albums over the last few years.

Tim lives in Los Angeles, California where his whole family is also located. Besides making the occasional acting appearance and playing with his band, Tim has been primarily focusing on writing/directing new films. In 2007, he was cast as the serious and wise apartment doorman, Frank, on the ABC comedy Samantha Who?.

    great actor hide show

    i came home from school one day and my parents were watching samantha who. I was tired and decided to watch. About 5 minutes in, i see Tuvok (Tim Russ) opening a door! I flipped a lid! I hadn't seen him in anything after Voyager. I saw him in a minor role in without a trace once, and no one else believed me until i looked it up online to prove it.... but besides that, no more Tuvok! Anyways.. because of Tuvok, and him alone, i started to occasionally watch that show, not regularily, but bits and pieces. He was funny and sarcastic, a great combination for his skills as an actor. As far as Voyager's Lt. Tuvok (promoted to Lt Cmnd. in one of the middle seasons). He was one of my favorite characters on any star trek series. Up there with Worf, Pichard, Data, and also from Voyager, the doctor. Great acting. 10/10

    One good actor. hide show

    I best remember Tim Russ as Tuvok on Star Trek Voyager. He made a great Vulcan and portryaed the character very well. I have to say that he was one of the best Vulcans of all time. I also remember seeing him in some of the older Star Trek movies and series. I think he played a different part, but I am not quite sure. Either way, I think that Tim Russ is a very good actor and I wonder if he will ever appear in a Star Trek series ever again. I think he was really good in Star Trek, so who knows? Thank you.

    Tim Russ is simply unbelievable. His acting is perfect in everything he does and even if he doesn't have the main role. We don't see him enough but hopefully this will change.
