MAIL TIME (2016) Timothy J. Cox is absolutely fabulous as our titular mail hero. Seeing as how there’s no dialogue in the film, we have to rely heavily on his facial expressions and body language, and it all tells quite the story. Timothy takes us from satisfied, to completely down, to mesmerized, to excited, and more. It’s a delight watching him perform his magician act. (Misty Layne, Rogue Cinema)
Timothy J. Cox makes an incredibly likeable lead character. (Michael Haberfelner, (re) Search My Trash)
Mail Time delivers across the board in terms of cast, Cox never turns in a mediocre performance he gives his all every single time, and story. (Michael Smith, Mike's Film Talk)
Carrasco’s film is direct and simple, and a delight to watch with an enjoyable performance by Cox in a silent role. He conveys everything we need to know about Ted through body language, and it is a fine piece of acting in as good a short film I’ve had the pleasure to watch over the past decade. (Brian Skuttle, Sonic-Cinema)
Telling a story in this way with no dialogue was always going to be a risk, so getting a strong cast is essential and Sebastian Carrasco hit a home run when he cast Timothy J. Cox. He seems to relish the role and excels in playing the character as we are treated to some brilliant acting as Cox shows us an excellent inventory of emotions. We live and breathe the character from start to finish. There only main star of the short was Timothy J. Cox who did an excellent job of playing Ted the mail-man. The role required no lines to learn, however it was essential that the plot was progressed through the actor’s ability to tell a story without speaking. Timothy manages to hit a home run, making this extremely easy to watch and follow. An excellent performance ensures that we feel for him when he gets the door slammed in his face while performing a magic trick, we smile with him when he gets to deliver mail to the girl at 280 Mead St. and we share his joy when he discovers his powers. Tim’s outstanding performance made me live the character for the whole six minutes I was watching. Timothy J. Cox excels in his role and delivers a magical performance. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com) ...an enactment by Timothy J. Cox that is commanding and likable as always and made all the more impressive by the performance being completely without dialogue. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
This reviewer has mentioned and/or stated it countless times, but the trend must continue in awarding praise to the ever enjoyable character acting mastery provided by Timothy J. Cox, whose role as Ted is so perfectly suited for his excellent, emotive expressions and actions here, especially as the film has no spoken dialogue, but is accompanied solely by a classical music-style orchestral score while we take in Ted’s journey visually. Cox just carries a confidence and swagger in any role he does, with no exception found in this effort, and hence an indicator you will be amused and charmed by his performance. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
HELL-BENT (2016)
Timothy Cox, amusingly chewing the scenery. (Benjamin Poole, The Movie Waffler)
Cox, even when only briefly on screen, still manages to take full command of his characters in supporting roles, and here is no exception. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
Timothy J. Cox is an actor we have seen in a number of shorts and he always shines in these roles of authority. He comes across as self confident, self-assured and assertive whenever he speaks, ensuring everyone else takes notice. This is another strong performance to add to his ever growing repertoire. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
...character actor Timothy J. Cox who delivers above and beyond, as usual (Michael Smith, Mike'sFilmTalk.com)
Timothy J. Cox is mesmerizing in his representation of Mr. Bowers. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
DIRTY BOOKS (2016)
Timothy J. Cox, seemingly a regular face in the indie shorts on The Independent Critic, is at home as Dr. Bradley, a matter-of-fact kind of guy who, as time goes on, seems to reveal that perhaps he squelched that same rebellious spirit years earlier. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
Isaiah La Pierre and Timothy J. Cox are also solid as David’s best friend and the high school principal. (Phillip Smolen, Rogue Cinema)
Timothy J. Cox who plays Dr. Bradley gets the authority figure just right, getting the look of an educated and sophisticated principal while looking to have a deep down genuine care for his students. His strong performance helps to elevate those around him. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
The acting is excellent all around but I want to mention that Timothy J. Cox is very good as the principal as he has been in the several films that I have seen him in lately. (Amos Lassen, Reviews By Amos Lassen)
As a cinephile the high-caliber performances, especially Timothy J. Cox’s phenomenal and sophisticated turn as Dr. Bradley, helped make this an immediately absorbing watch. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
Hardest working man in indie shorts Timothy J. Cox adds his usual versatile quality to Ian Everhart and Zachary Lapierre’s Dirty Books, wherein he plays a school principal burdened with the unenviable task of informing central character David (an excellent Noah Bailey) that the printed school newspaper he edits is going to be shifted online. (Benjamin Poole, The Movie Waffler)
In his newest short film effort, continually excellent character actor Timothy J. Cox brings his expertise once again in playing authority figure, Dr. Bradley. There’s such a blatant genuineness to the roles Cox takes, and it comes through in the attitude and sincerity of this character without question. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
As usual, Timothy J. Cox adds a stamp of authority and truth to the proceedings and the young cast step up to the mark he sets. (Michael Smith, MikesFilmTalk.com)
HERE LIES JOE (2016)
Timothy J. Cox as the chairperson of the “Suicide Anonymous” and Mary Hronicek as Carol (a depressed participant of the group who is sad at her dead fish) are potent in their parts. (Kritarth Naman Singh, MoviesPlexus)
...beleaguered chairperson Bill (Timothy J. Cox, bringing some real character-actor chops to the role). (Pete J. Wall, Strangers In A Cinema)
Timothy J. Cox put in an excellent job as Bill, the mild-mannered leader of the support group, showing us another ace in his acting deck. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
The meeting is chaired by Bill (Timothy J. Cox) who gives a wonderful performance as well. (Amos Lassen, ReviewsByAmosLassen)
The story, dazzlingly constructed by both Pamela Conway and Battle, concerns Joe meeting an unpredictable young woman known as ‘Z’ (in a portrayal by Andi Morrow that is every bit as intriguing, well-honed and fantastic as Temple’s) at a Suicide Anonymous meeting. This is one headed by Bill (Timothy J. Cox in another of the many magnificent enactments herein). He is a self-proclaimed “suicide addict”. (Andrew Buckner, A Word Of Dreams)
Proving as always that there are no small parts, Timothy J. Cox shines in his brief turn as the endearing Bill. (Jude Cole, MovieQuotesAndMore.com)
TOTAL PERFORMANCE (2015)
Special mention about Timothy J Cox who gives a solid performance as a CEO who is pestered by the thought of firing a close friend. (Kritarth Naman Singh , Movies Plexus)
The solid supporting cast only help enhance this short. Timothy J. Cox plays a CEO who must fire his partner and takes it in his stride with a solid performance. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
Timothy J. Cox also appears as Walter, and as always he puts on a good show. (Nicholas La Salla, Forest City Short Film Review)
When the endeavor turns from effectively humorous and often playful to dramatic to thoughtful in the second half the transition is effortless. This is thanks to the continued character-oriented focus throughout. It is also attributed to, not only the stalwart impact of the depictions from Berner and Conroy, but a secondary cast that is equally spectacular. The on-screen depictions by Caitlin Berger as Annie Heron, Anthony Rainville as Rafi, Timothy J. Cox as Walter Baron, Paul Locke as Bruce, Phoebe Kuhlman as Lauren and Lauren B. Nelson as Susan inspire awe. They quietly captive the audience with their multi-layered, high-caliber enactments. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
Stand outs from the excellent supporting cast include Paul Locke as Cori’s first scene partner that we encounter and Meehan veteran Timothy J Cox, who scores in one brief scene as a CEO who must fire a close friend, who doesn’t seem to appreciate Cori’s often cold and indifferent approach. (Jude Cole, MovieQuotesAndMore.com)
The supporting players; Locke as Bruce, Cox as Baron, all feel as real as Tory’s character. Cox always delivers in his roles and his portrayal of the boss who must practice firing a friend is touching as is it amusing. (Michael Smith, MikesFilmTalk.com)
Timothy J. Cox, who does a nice job playing a particularly anxious client named Walter. (Scott's Movies.com)
WHAT JACK BUILT (2015)
...the films sole character, played with verve by Timothy J. Cox. (Michael Haberfelner, (re) Search My Trash)
Cox embraces the left-of-sanity persona, injecting the performance with as much glee as fear. (Jared Mobarak, JaredMobarak.com)
Timothy J. Cox’s performance is entertaining; everything about his performance is childlike… The wide, shifting eyes that never stop moving, the moments leading up to the first puff of his cigar, the way he lights up with great excitement when something adds up, or when he discovers something he might be able to use. (Theo Alexander, Unsung Films)
Rarely do we come across short films where a lone actor carries the whole flow of the picture successfully, but Timothy J. Cox accomplishes that coup with exceptional execution in What Jack Built. Cox’s performance --- as being the case with most of his other turns --- is astounding. He is one of the sole driving forces of this film, and delivers a character that is both oddly compelling and thoughtfully mysterious. Cox manages to portray the character convincingly, adding incredible amounts of nuance. Jack’s origins and motives make room for interpretation, which gives a lasting memory to the character too. Cox and crew achieved something unique with undeniable skill. Watch this for a prime example of what can be achieved in a short with just one strong performance. (Lorenzo Lombardi, UK Film Review)
Timothy J. Cox, in another mesmerizing and masterful enactment, The title alone suggests a bit of a parallel to the popular British nursery rhyme, “This is the House That Jack Built”. In retrospect, it can even be perceived as an apocalyptic aftermath of the absurdly comic events that transpired in that tale. Yet, with a far more mature tone. “The man all tattered and torn”, as the folktale states, certainly applies to the brooding Jack realized in Mahler’s fabrication. He appears haunted, as if by the measures transcribed in the poem. Cox portrays this excellently. Not to mention, there is an underlying aggression to his motions. It is one which backs up the previously stated line splendidly. It is grasped in the various facial expressions Cox so expertly instills into the protagonist. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
Timothy J. Cox who plays Jack does a fantastic job of doing everything within his power to take the audience on this mission with him without speaking a word. His visual expressions and mannerisms mean we don’t need to hear him. His almost obsessive compulsive behavior demonstrates his determination and importance of what he is doing. His chain smoking gives the impression of his precarious position and nervousness about the success of his project. All in all this was a fine performance. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
Timothy J. Cox plays Jack as a man consumed with one task and while he is focussed on the matter at hand, he still loves a good cigar. Cox keeps the viewer’s interest throughout as they wonder why he is so intent on building this thing and what he hopes to snare. (Michael Smith, Mike'sFilmTalk.com)
Cox plays his part well -- a little bit mad scientist, a little bit determined backwoods MacGuyver. It works. (Nicholas LaSalla, Forest City Short Film Review)
As Jack, Timothy J. Cox nicely weaves together a sort of frantic nature with his childlike glee and creates a character that holds our attention and makes us wonder what he will do next. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
Timothy Cox does a fine job playing our mad inventor guy wearing the tinfoil hat. (Misty Layne, Rogue Cinema)
A unique and original little film that is compelling for its cinematic intensity- the motion of the film is driven by the disturbing and magnetic central performance of Cox, and the electric, kinetic editing of the film makers; like Jack, they have assembled a beguiling mechanism. (Benjamin Poole, The Movie Waffler)
Timothy J. Cox is brilliant as Jack—he so becomes the character that he need not say a word—we see who he is by his facial gestures and expressions. (Amos Lassen, Reviews By Amos Lassen)
What makes Mr. Mahler’s film all the more tense and suspenseful is that there is not a single word of dialogue spoken in the film, so the responsibility for taking us through Jack’s journey and selling the film to audiences falls to one lone actor, in this case, indie short veteran Timothy J. Cox, who has given consistently great performances in a wide variety of roles, comedic and dramatic, for years and his performance here is again totally on point, energetic and lively, perfectly capturing the dystopian loner (complete with ratty clothes, goggles perched on his head and ever-present cigar). Cox presents us with an everyman driven only by his obsession and desire to capture this figure, apparition or beast. (Jude Cole, MovieQuotesAndMore.com)
Having had (soon, anyway) the privilege of interviewing Timothy J. Cox, as well as seeing and reviewing multiple films he’s been a part of, this reviewer must say that he once more provides the perfect, emotive, straight-forward performance “What Jack Built” requires, and does so in his usual entertaining way. Just the range of facial expressions and twitchy, calculated movements he provides for Jack truly does make one wonder what really IS going on in that compulsive brain of his, all while also displaying his seemingly restless and paranoid state of being as well. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
THAT TERRIBLE JAZZ (2014) Timothy J. Cox played Nicky, the barman. Timothy showed us a straight talking ‘man of the world’ bartender in a very believable performance. In his one scene he managed to establish himself as a memorable character. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
Timothy J. Cox gives us another of his many masterful turns in his portrayal of the barkeeper, Nicky. Cox’s always welcome presence is reserved for a small amount of the runtime. Still, he makes a certainly memorable impression. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
Cox has a suave gruffness that nicely fits within the fabric of the film. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
Timothy J. Cox who managed to score his points with his one scene as a William Bendix like bartender who has seen it all. (Phil Wright, 8cnTV.com)
SKY'S THE LIMIT (2013) Timothy J. Cox plays Jason, the single father on the hunt for love. Cox does a fine job creating a bond with Frankie and displays his emotions very effectively. It is what the character is doing when he is not talking that makes the performance so effective, his facial expressions and the look of pain and sorrow in his face is more powerful than any words that can be spoken. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
The performances by Cox and Di Stefano are strong at forming the “bond” between the characters effectively. (Brian Skuttle, Sonic-Cinema)
Timothy J. Cox excels as Jason...warm and caring performance. (Phil Wright, 8cnTv.com)
...leading actor Timothy J. Cox, endearing as Jason. (Paul Darch, Movie-Bloggers.com)
This is a three character film and all of the leads (Timothy J. Cox, Joseph Di Stefano and Monica Servellon) put in good, caring performances. (Philip Smolen, Rogue Cinema)
Cox brings his usual professionalism to his role as Jason and effortlessly manages to show the audience his sadness in missing his wife, desperate in wanting to fill the void but unconsciously neglecting the most important relationship in his life. (Parissa Janaraghi, Movie Quotes and More)
CHOOSING SIDES (2013) Aided by terrific and endlessly watchable performances from Timothy J. Cox as the Catholic father, Peter, Rachel Lynn Jackson, as the Jewish mother, Ellen, and Max Abe Plush as Mikey, this is an all- around winner. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
The three cast members all worked very well together. Timothy J. Cox and Rachel Lynn Jackson, the two leads, had some great chemistry together and were very believable as a married couple. I have seen Timothy J. Cox as a number of comedic characters and he is a natural in that type of role. This is the first time I have seen Rachel Lynn Jackson but she was very strong in the role of Ellen. The pair are at their best when Mikey rejects both religions, the way their facial expressions change is priceless. Max Abe Plush was great as Mikey. Although he did not have much to say, due to his bickering parents, his actions were what made his performance, as he watched and rolled his eyes as his parents began to argue. When he did manage to get a word in he was very strong, giving us a delivery beyond his years and coming across as the true grown-up of the dinner table. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
The acting is superb for this style of comedy, though, no question. Dual credit shall be given first to character actor extraordinaire Timothy J. Cox and the equally riotous comedic performance of Rachel Lynn Jackson as Peter and Ellen, two very impassioned parents and deeply religious people who more than stand firm for their respective faiths, even when it comes down to heated blows between the two about what would be “best” for Mikey. Their facial expressions as things deteriorate and the insults fly is priceless, adding to the general humor. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
Lee Loechler's 5 minute comedy short CHOOSING SIDES is one the funniest shorts I've seen in a long while, thanks largely to Yael Green's hilarious script and the outstanding leading performances of Timothy J. Cox and Rachel Lynn Jackson as a set of parents who hurl religious related insults to one another in the hopes of enticing their 12 year old son Mikey (Max Abe Plush) to choose their religion. The results are hysterical and the entire team behind the film are to be commended for some truly great work. (Michael James Lowry, YourMovieReviews.com)
...the dead solid perfect performances of Cox and Jackson, who play perfectly off each other, even when hurling insults at one another. (Phil Wright, 8cnTV.com)
The film is clearly just having fun with it all and the performances are solid across the board. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
Timothy J. Cox and Rachel Lynn Jackson give fantastic performances as two parents of mixed faith that realize their son Max is about to reach puberty. The dialogue exchange between the pair of actors is really funny, and delivered at a rapid fire pace to where you can barely keep up. (Felix Vasquez, Jr., Cinema Crazed)
The script is sharp and funny and the three actors all give strong performances but especially Cox and Jackson as the desperate parents who use brilliantly clichéd religious examples to put down Judaism and Catholicism. (Parissa Janaraghi, Movie Quotes and More)
Both (Rachel Lynn) Jackson and (Timothy J.) Cox are superb in their roles as Mikey's parents. What begins as polite dinner-time conversation quickly snowballs into all-out religious warfare, with Jackson and Cox portraying increasing desperation. (Cary Conley, Rogue Cinema)
TRANSIENCE (2013)
Being just a two-man show, actors Timothy J. Cox and Joshua Michael Payne might have had their work cut out for them with no audible dialogue to lean on for the film’s abbreviated runtime and therefore need for succinct but meaningful execution of the premise was imperative. Well “Bravo, lads, Bravo!” as the two are quite a solid team in this project, giving us George and Tom’s narrative with facial expression and body language in very effectively understated but no less affecting delivery. As the viewers, we’re meant to invest ourselves in these two men’s troubles and feel what they’re experiencing, and the pair pull it off admirably. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
Timothy J. Cox in a wrenching, human and heartfelt bravura performance. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
IT'S NOT YOU (2013) Timothy J. Cox gives a powerful performance as the role of the father. His eyes do a great job of telling the story, either by wondering astray at others or looking at himself and reflecting on his actions, the look of remorse he gives us is a powerful one. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
For a short film so short, it could be classed as a “Flash-film,” the director has wrung an enormous amount of emotion and feeling from the performers. (Cox’s tearful countenance at the start speaks volumes. While his character is not perfect, his pain at the thought of losing everything is right there in his eyes.) The short vignettes show two sides to each story. The “happy families” side and then the real, less perfect, presentation of what really happened. All the actor’s rock their short time in front of the camera. (Michael Smith, Mike's Film Talk)
Timothy J. Cox and Sara Ruth Blake as the father and mother are extremely powerful in their raw emotion. (Scott's Movies)
...another commanding, passionate and hypnotic enactment from Timothy J. Cox. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
Able to so effectively play the “everyman”, watching Cox take this character through his paces by showcasing a slow decent into infidelity so realistically and with an almost understated ease is pure artistic mastery. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
MALLAS, MA (2013) Timothy J. Cox does a great job playing the con artist Brian. He comes across as the brains of the operation especially when explaining the need to be convincing when using his equipment and appears to be ‘all business’. The way that he warms to the ghost is very pleasing and when he reveals all in the closing scenes you certainly feel for the character. Maria Natapov who plays Brian’s partner, Maria, is another well cast and very strong lead. She comes across as the ‘talker’ in the partnership and a great contrast to the analytical Brian. Maria plays the role with confidence and her facial expressions and reactions only add to this movie. The pair seem to work very well together, with the highlight between the two coming during the closing credits. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger,com)
According to his IMDb biography, Timothy J. Cox is known in some circles as the “Johnny Depp of Indie cinema.” His performance in this film, in which he is the male lead, combined with his supporting work in the previous short, put me in mind of a youngish Richard Dreyfuss instead. Not bad, that. (Bill Meeker, Loud Green Bird)
Solid performances by Cox and Natapov keep one’s interest afloat in the characters of Brian and Maria, who’ve obviously been pulling con jobs like this for so long, that anything which shakes up the “norm” would just as immediately derail their entire sense of purpose and execution of this newest job in Mallas. (Kirk S. Fernwood, One Film Fan)
The audience is treated to a strong pair of leads in Cox and Natapov...Cox and Natapov were completely in control of their characters and came across as sleazy but not gratingly so. (Nicholas La Salla, Forest City Short Film Review)
Timothy J. Cox and Maria Natapov do a nice job with their parts as the ghost hunters. (Langdon Alger, Independent Movie Review)
...manages to engage because of some truly outstanding camera work and the performances of actors Timothy J. Cox and Maria Natapov. Both performers bring a subtlety and warmth to their roles, with Cox's performance especially standing out. (Phil Wright, 8cnTV.com)
The perfectly matched Timothy J. Cox and Maria Natapov. (Michael James Lowry, YourMovieReviews.com)
Timothy Cox and Maria Natapov have a terrific chemistry as the bumbling con-artists in question with Cox, a familiar face for The Independent Critic, clearly relishing the opportunity to play a spirited and energetic character. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
The film creates an interesting mood, combining perfectly the camera work, sharp photography by Rick Macomber, and penetrating original score handled by Cesar Suarez. Another positive aspect was the performances by Timothy J.Cox and Maria Natapov. (Always Watch Good Movies)
The two leads (Timothy J. Cox, Maria Natapov) are quite strong and do a fine job as they bumble around attempting to set the town of Mallas up for a hard fall. (Cary Conley, Rogue Cinema)
DARK ROMANCE (2013) ...another remarkable portrayal from Timothy J. Cox. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
Timothy J. Cox played Tim Cooper. Timothy did a marvelous job at playing the kind-hearted advertising executive, giving a superb performance. His character is immediately likable with an infectious personality. Timothy really gets to flex his acting muscles in the final third as the plot takes a dark turn. A standout performance from Timothy. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
All three actors give strong performances with Cox leading the way as the gentle natured office worker who has become the obsession of his twisted secretary. (Parissa Janaraghi, Movie Quotes and More)
The actors are all solid as well, with veteran Timothy J. Cox leading the way as the older man with an unwanted admirer. (Cary Conley, Rogue Cinema)
WE JUST WANT TO PLAY (2013) The cast is a spirited bunch, led by Timothy J. Cox, clearly relishing his role as the evil athletic director, aptly named Dickerman.(Michael James Lowry, YourMovieReviews.com)
Timothy J Cox graces the film as Athletics Director Dickerman and he is quite possibly the best thing about the film apart from the obvious enthusiasm of the cast and crew. (Michael Smith, Rogue Cinema)
TROUBLE (2013) Other characters of note were Timothy J. Cox as the Headmaster. Timothy thrives in these authoritative performances and this is no exception. Playing the straight-laced Headmaster to perfection, he encompasses the pompus attitude and is full of his own self-importance. His chat to Isaac about ‘character’ was a highlight. The Headmaster also does an excellent job at delivering some lighter notes and comic relief. Timothy gives us some well-timed body language and facial expressions, that words could never quite manage, particularly in the library. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
Timothy Cox is solid as the stern headmaster. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
But Witkin also lightens the tone of the film with some gentle comedic scenes as well, most notably with Timothy Cox as the headmaster of St. Sebastian's. (Cary Conley, Rogue Cinema)
GREG'S GUARDIAN ANGEL (2012)
Supporting these two were a strong foundation of actors. An unrecognizable Timothy J. Cox, Jack Moran Jr and Caitlin Winter all played their part in making this such an entertaining short. Cox played the role of Greg’s boss Mr Schmaven. His commitment to the role is clearly apparent with his change in appearance which included a shaven head and dark hair. Cox seems to do an excellent job of playing authority figures having seen him take up this kind of role on a number of occasions and he is on fine form here and getting some great dialogue which he expertly delivers. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
Timothy J. Cox gives his usual solid performance as a domineering boss. (Benjamin Poole, The Movie Waffler)
Supporting turns from Cox, Moran, and Winter add to the frivolity. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
...his bosses at SPATCO, humorously played by Timothy J. Cox and Jack Moran. (Phil Wright, 8cnTV.com)
Vorob and Santos are clearly having a great time with their roles and the same must be said of the supporting cast, which includes Timothy J. Cox and Jack Moran, both deliciously broad as Greg's bosses at Spatco. (Paul Darch, Movie-Bloggers.com)
In a huge switch from his serial killer role in Simple Mind, Timothy J. Cox made the most of his fun appearance as Greg’s boss, Mr. Schmaven. (Roberta Wilson, The Entertatinment Scribe)
The cast is a strong, fun and spirited bunch...Timothy J. Cox scores big in his brief scenes as Greg’s boss. (Michael Dietz, Dead4Movie.com)
Timothy J. Cox and Caitlin Winter do well in supporting roles. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
Speaking of scoring points, an unrecognizable Timothy J. Cox, with shaved head and dark hair, did just that in his funny turn as the always grinning Elliott Schmaven. (Kent Stockton, Movie Vine)
From the supporting cast Jack Moran and Timothy J. Cox shine bright as Greg's grinning and gregarious bosses. (Jude Cole, Movies Quotes and More.com)
Great support from Timothy J. Cox (Pamela Larkin, Your Movie Reviews.com)
There’s also a hilarious appearance from an almost unrecognizable Timothy J. Cox as Greg’s Boss, Mr. Schmaven, proving that the man can do just about anything. (Peter Sanderson,Purple Slinky.com)
SIMPLE MIND (2012)
Director and screenwriter Phil Newsom has crafted a searing portrait of admiration, obsession and psychosis with his seven minute and twenty-two second 2012 short film, “Simple Mind”. Not only does the work issue a stunning amount of story in its scant runtime but, it also succeeds immeasurably at sharpening an intimate, understanding perspective of its otherwise villainous lead, Bob. The viewpoint established is a testament to Timothy J. Cox’s fabulous, alternately vulnerable and menacing, portrayal. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
Timothy J. Cox is at his murderous best in this film, showing us the broad range of his abilities as an actor. He plays Bob with a certain calmness that makes the performance even more disturbing. Being able to flip a switch and go from being cool and calculated to uncontrollable and full of rage with ease. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
Cox portrays with ease the conflicted and mysterious Bob. (Monica Jowett, UK Film Review)
Yet again, the always reliable Timothy J. Cox brings out his unstable inner child (lol) to play Bob as the, well, unstable, disturbed individual he is, and it is Cox’s solid performance that makes it all the more believable. Yeah, this guy can truly play creepy! (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
Bob is played unnervingly by the chameleon-like Timothy J. Cox, whom we have seen as completely different types of characters in Socks and Cakes and Over Coffee. At one point he does something with his eyes that would give anyone the creeps. (Scott's Movies.com)
Cox deserves special mention for his grounded performance. His role could have easily skyrocketed over-the-top, but he reeled it in, and it was definitely the right decision. (Nicholas La Salla,Forest City Short Film Review) Timothy J. Cox is PERFECT as the psycho killer here – I don’t think I’ve seen crazy eyes that good since Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I love everything Cox has down here with his character. I went from intrigued to repulsed to piteous all in the span of about seven minutes...kudos for not once letting my attention waver and for keeping me in breathless anticipation of what was going to happen next. (CinemaSchminema)
Cox did a fantastic job with his role as the sadistic Bob who I'm still not sure knows quite where he's at in life. (Twisted Central)
Actor Timothy J. Cox should particularly be commended, as he manages to create a wonderfully demented character in a third of the screen time as the credit reel for Marvel’s the Avengers. Mr. Cox depicts the various sides to his character flawlessly, evoking deviousness and cruelty which gives way to pity and profound sadness. There were moments in the film where his character reminded me of Robin William’s desperate store clerk in One Hour Photo, where you could detect traces of humanity, twisted by the madness of being alone. (Oberst Von Berauscht,MovieBoozers.com)
Simple Mind soars because of the dynamic performance of Timothy J. Cox, as Bob. It’s the subtlely where Cox nails the character, as Bob looks harmless at first glance, even sweet natured, but make no mistake, this guy is all evil. (Michael Dietz, Dead4Movie.com)
It is Timothy J. Cox as Bob who shines brightest here. Cox’s performance is so bloody good that at first you think his Bob is this warm, sweet teddy bear of a man, only to be completely shockesd and unnerved by his turn into a cold, methodical and ego driven killer. It’s a marvelous performance in a thrilling short film. (Roberta Wilson, The Entertainment Scribe)
Simple Mind has it's share of twists and turns and much, much more, including an outstanding lead performance from Timothy J. Cox as a man with a lot going on in his mind and it's anything but simple. At the center of it all is Cox's stellar performance as Bob. His Bob is charming and sweet one minute, but Cox can (and does) switch to cold and chilling the next. In only a 7 minute film, this talented actor manages to present a character that's fully fleshed and unique. As odd as it may sound, I wanted more of Bob. What does that say about me? (Kent Stockton, Movie Vine)
In the short, Bob is expertly presented by indie actor Timothy J. Cox. Cox, a veteran of several films, is known primarily as a supporting actor, but here he takes the lead and gives it his all, presenting a character of great complexity, shifting from calm, almost sweet-natured to cold, callous, yes indifferent, but also quite methodical. It's quite the achievement that this actor was able to present such a diverse character in such a short amount of time. (Jude Cole, Movie Quotes and More.com)
...the star of the short, Timothy J. Cox is probably someone you’ll see a lot on the coming years, because the entire film hinges on his performance, and he knocks it out of the park. Timothy J. Cox proves he can do a lot with a character in a very short amount of time. He shows a wide range in accomplishing one goal, getting the character to the end of the film. (Sean Canfield, The Daily Rotation)
What impressed me the most, other than the plot, was the performance from Cox. Having seen him in completely comedic roles, it was a very nice 180 to see him playing such a dark, disturbed, and disturbing character. (D. Ryan Mowry, Ryan's Reviews)
Cox delivers an effective performance, creepily recounting the story with a tint of romance before changing to the cold, clinical tone of a professional who performs his job with complete confidence and efficiency. (Jared Mobarak, Jared Mobarak.com)
At the heart of Simple Mind is the wonderful performance by Timothy J. Cox, who continues his streak of impressive performances. This time he’s crafted a charming and sweet guy upon first glance, but beneath that charming smile of his lies a subtle malevolence and creepiness that, rightly so, takes you by surprise. Bob and the equally creepy Orange Green, another role that Cox played so wonderfully, in last year’s acclaimed short Terry Kendall and Orange Green would make an interesting pair. It’s a frighteningly good performance in a delightfully complex and twisted short film. (Peter Sanderson, Cinemaroll)
The film is worth a watch primarily for the benefit of watching the continued development of actor Timothy J. Cox. Cox's performance as Bob is filled with pieces of vulnerability, conceit, delusion and more than a little uncomfortable menace. It's hard not to be impressed with his willingness to try virtually every genre of film. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
And while the film’s unhinged and disturbing vibe is positively enhanced by the creative cinematography, it’s the combination of these visual choices and the performance of Timothy J. Cox as Bob that cements it as uncomfortably creepy. It feels like we’re stuck in Bob’s not-so-private-anymore Hell, which is a really messed-up place to be, especially with him narrating our trip. (Mark Bell, Film Threat)
LINDA LETHORN AND THE MUSIC BOX (2012)
The rest of the cast and crew provide exceptional work. Timothy J. Cox is delightful in his depiction of the sweat-suit wearing, bespectacled individual we come to know as Purple Green. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
Cox, who gives the character that perfect blend of hissy-fit and major irritation. (Michael Smith, Mike's Film Talk)
Timothy J. Cox plays Purple Green, the irate pet owner who gives Linda such a hard time. Although Timothy has limited screen time, his performance is a memorable one, partly thanks to his extremely loud wardrobe and glasses he has the pleasure of wearing during the short. His loud-mouthed tirades really helped to switch up the pace of the film. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
(Susan) Kirby and Cox provide some excellent, albeit brief, supporting turns as Lucinda and one obnoxious neighbor, which ultimately ties this quirky slice of independent cinema together in a manner befitting the genres M.O.–filmmakers with passion expressing what they want, how they want. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
THE MISOGYNIST (2012)
Timothy Cox in another show-stopping enactment. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
Timothy J. Cox gave a fine performance as the talent agent W.D. Frost. I enjoyed the meetings he had with Harlan, particularly the second meeting, we had some classic expressions while Frost was looking through the photos. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
The supporting turn from Timothy J. Cox, as always, was just right in delivery. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
Timothy J. Cox pops up in a few scenes and lends nice support as the photographer's agent, whose concern for his client grows when he sees exactly how far he's willing to go to achieve perfection in his art. (Michael James Lowry, YourMovieReviews.com)
Cox does a great job as the comedic foil in the film. His portrayal of the agent Frost draws the only smiles; Cox does really well as the smart-ass or the funny-guy, as he has shown in other films I have reviewed. (D. Ryan Mowry, Ryan's Reviews)
Timothy J. Cox brought a nice, cynical touch to his very brief role as the agent Frost. (Robert Carey Wilson, Movie Vine)
Performances are solid all-around with Pascal Yen-Pfister doing his best Jean Sorel impression and Timothy J. Cox channeling his principal character from Matt Porter's "Gunderson's." (Matthew Saliba, Rogue Cinema)
In addition to (Pascal) Yen-Pfister's solid performance, Rhea Sandstrom does a nice job as his wife along with Timothy J. Cox as his agent. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
TERRY KENDALL AND ORANGE GREEN (2011)
Timothy J. Cox, proving himself to be the Johnny Depp of indie cinema in his ability to play almost every conceivable role a scriptwriter can come up with, gives another tremendous performance imbuing his character with a genuine sense of creepiness. (Matthew Saliba, Rogue Cinema)
This works wonderfully as when the surprises do happen, you as the audience are and should be taken by surprise as well. The casting of Timothy J. Cox as the stalker sells this point, as Cox, who is not an intimidating looking man, but a kindly looking, average sized man, so rather than frighten with size, Cox’s stalker instead manages to menace actress Brit-Charde' Sellers, quite good as Terry, with charm and perhaps most frightening of all, silence. While stalking Terry at the supermarket, Cox just stares at Terry, sometimes smiling, sometimes not, often asking the same question over and over again ‘’Can you tell me where the chicken breast is?’’, slowly driving Terry insane. It’s a great performance and Cox is to be commended for finding more to do with the stalker role than just go the ‘’crazy, insane’’ route. (Kent Stockston, Movie Vine)
Character actor Timothy J. Cox goes against his usual type by playing the mysterious stranger, Orange Green. Until the film's closing moments, one is never quite clear whether this deceptively charming and clean cut man is actually dangerous, completely harmless or possibly just a socially awkward chap with some sort of special needs. While this isn't the type of role that Cox usually goes for, he stretches himself with tremendous success here and it'd be nice to see him explore this direction again. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
Skaff also scores big time in the smart casting of veteran character actor Timothy J. Cox, who wonderfully plays against type, bringing a subtle creepiness (channeling his inner-Norman Bates) to his performance as the stalker named Orange Green. Cox doesn’t say much dialogue in the film, but watch his eyes and they say volumes. If Skaff had gone with some hulking Sid Haig-type, yes you’d be intimidated and scared as hell, but the film would have an overall different tone. Cox’s stalker isn’t intimidating or even scary, but man is he creepy, but even more surprising is that he’s even a little charming. (Peter Sanderson, Cinema Roll)
GUNDERSON'S (2011)
The supporting cast includes Timothy J. Cox as Principal Cox. I have mentioned this before but Tim plays these authority roles extremely well and this is no exception. He gives us a comedic over-the-top performance to be proud of. The enthusiasm he puts into the character lifts it off the screen. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
Cox makes the most of his character, as he always does, to good effect. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
...great performances from Max Azulay and Timothy J. Cox. (Parissa Janaraghi, Movie Quotes and More)
Gunderson’s is a comedy that takes an absurd premise and then plays it completely straight. The result is remarkably funny, primarily because of the strength of the performances – especially those of Max Azulay in the lead role and Timothy J. Cox as the over-friendly and utterly inconsistent school principal. (Paul Pritchard, Pulp Movies)
Azulay carries the weight of the film easily as the lead, but all of the supporting actors are also strong. I especially enjoyed Cox’s rendition of the middle-school principal that so desperately wants to be cool (but is so obviously not) is also a standout. (D. Ryan Mowry, Ryan's Reviews.com)
Cox continues his streak of impressive character turns with his hysterical performance as the downright goofy Principal Cox. (Peter Sanderson, Cinema Roll)
There's also a lot of wonderful performances in the film but the one who immediately comes to mind is Timothy J. Cox who's absolutely sensational as Principal Cox. (Matthew Saliba, Rogue Cinema)
Timothy J. Cox's hilariously larger than life turn as the school's principal...Cox manages to take relatively little screen time and make you sit there wanting more. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
THE TEACHER'S LOUNGE (2011)
Her Boss (played with real enthusiasm by Timothy J. Cox)… a wonderfully slimy performance as the boss. (Matthew Saliba, Rogue Cinema)
Cox does well in the role of the creepy boss. (Peter Sanderson, Cinema Roll)
The boss, ably played by Timothy J. Cox (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
JACK JIMMINY: THE STORY OF A PORNSTAR EXTRA (2010)
Cox is amazing in this one, and this is one of my favorite characters I’ve seen him play. As the elder Jimminy, Cox plays with such aplomb and grace. He is hilarious, and I love how much his character loves to be a pornstar, and how proud he is of his pornstar family. It’s actually almost touching, in a sort of sticky and greasy kinda way. (D. Ryan Mowry, Ryan's Reviews.com)
Jack’s parents, played with egregious enthusiasm by Timothy J. Cox and Ethel Fisher are loud, larger than life and everything you’d expect from a pair of retired porn stars. (Paul Pritchard, PulpMovies.com)
Scenes that pop with any energy and enthusiasm are the ones involving Cox and Fisher as the off the wall parents. Both actors bring considerable energy to their performances, especially Cox. (Peter Sanderson, Cinema Roll)
The film gets a boost from the animated performances of Maurice Johnson, as a rabid sexaholic that Jack meets in therapy; Timothy J. Cox as Jack's the larger than life father Richard and from Ethel Fisher, who made me blush a little with her risque and fearless turn as Jack's lovable mother, Moonflower. (William Lattimer, ArticlesBase.com)
THE WATCHERS (2010)
The film does soar because of it's engaging story and an impressive supporting cast, especially Boddington, creepy, but alluring in her turn as one of the watchers and supporting actor extraordinaire Cox, who scored big as Moffitt's mysterious shrink. (Michael James Lowry, YourMovieReviews.com)
Great supporting work comes frrom Peter Francis Span, eerie as the last mysterious person to encounter Porter, Kathleen Boddington as one of the Watchers that Porter encounters and especially Timothy J. Cox, scene stealingly good as Porter's trusting or not so trusting shrink, perfectly named Dr. Orwell. (O'Brien might have been pushing it) (Phil Wright, 8cnTV.com)
Cox is also strong as Orwell, as he projects caring and warmth into his character, the one shoulder John has to rest his troubles. (D. Ryan Mowry, Ryan's Reviews.com)
...a fabulous turn from character actor Timothy J. Cox...The veteran Cox is exceptional in his brief scene as Dr. Orwell, displaying a certain menace as the doctor, making us wonder if he himself is a "watcher". (Steven McKinley, Movie Rentals Online)
Timothy J. Cox, Kathleen Boddington and Peter Francis Span are solid supporting players, complementing Porter's paranoia with a quiet intensity that constantly keeps you guessing just how The Watchers is going to wind down. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
As for the performances, Moffitt leads the way, impressing as John Porter, saying volumes with a look. He receives great support from Timothy J. Cox, who managed to inject a bit of mystery to his performance as Dr. Orwell, making me wonder if he himself was a "watcher". (Michael Dietz, ReviewCentre)
Solid support from Cox, Peter Francis Span and Kathleen Boddington, who all shine in key roles. (Tammie Bailey, RedGage.com)
Great performances, especially from Moffitt as the pursued John Porter and from Timothy J. Cox, who is sharp in a nice supporting turn as Porter's dubious shrink. (William Lattimer, ArticlesBase.com)
From the supporting cast, veteran scene stealer Timothy J. Cox shines as the disbelieving Dr. Orwell. (Hannah Marie Ellison,Blog Critics)
Timothy J. Cox is stand out in a few brief scenes as John’s skeptical shrink, Dr. Orwell. (Elizabeth Sellars,Movie Vine)
Peter Francis Span and Timothy J. Cox are also noteworthy in two key supporting roles: Span as a mysterious stranger in Porter’s life and Cox as Porter’s skeptical shrink who may or may not be a“watcher” himself. (Peter Sanderson, Cinema Roll)
The rest of the cast also do a great job. Timothy J. Cox plays Dr. Orwell (Hmmm; do you think that’s a clue?); Peter Francis Span plays the “Mysterious Man”; and Kathleen Boddington plays one of the watchers. They all do great in their respective roles and all play pivotal roles in Porter’s life. Good stuff. (Scott Shoyer, AnythingHorror.com)
SOCKS AND CAKES (2011)
Timothy J. Cox steals the show as Harry, the French literature professor. His lines flow from him as he breezes his way though this short. His character is down on his luck and somewhat self-loathing and slightly bitter towards some of the others. Breaking the fourth wall establishes Harry as the main focus in this short and Timothy is more than capable of carrying it. He flexes his acting muscles in the final third of the move as he chats with his ex-wife in the kitchen and she opens up to him about his problems. A strong performance that sets the example for the rest of the cast to lead from. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
Cox, in playing Harry, executes well here and brings both his character’s own passive/aggressive stance on the group’s attitudes and actions while also addressing us directly as the viewer with skeptical notions about how things will, or possibly will, unfold. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
The excellent acting in this short film is the product of the cast’s talent and Padovan’s writing, which provided his actors with juicy, ironic lines. Cox takes a fourth-wall-breaking soliloquy in stride, providing much-needed back-story about Harry and his friends while maintaining that thin strand of believability that connects the audience to the film. (Bill Meeker, LoudGreenBird.com)
The cast is excellent and as Harry, Timothy J. Cox is amazing.(Reviews By Amos Lassen)
Well done across the board, with particular props due to Meares and Cox, whose dialogue in the kitchen really provided this film with heart. (Nicholas La Salla, Forest City Short Film Review)
One who is not faking it and is openly having a rough patch is embittered French lit professor, Harry, played with believable feeling and honesty by the excellent Timothy J. Cox. (Phil Wright, 8cn.TV)
Then we get a large portion of the film being told from Harry's perspective as he gives a witty monologue directly to the camera about his life, with Cox delivering a spot on performance as the droll cynical intellectual...manages to bring warmth and charm to his antagonistic character. (Parissa Janaraghi, Movie Quotes And More)
And while the film is an ensemble piece, it is based around the Timothy J. Cox's character, Harry. The acting is terrific all around but Cox does a particularly nice job of playing the slightly jealous, slightly lazy, and totally antagonistic Harry. (Cary Conley, Rogue Cinema)
A spot on Timothy J. Cox. (Stephen McKinley, MovieFilmReview.com)
Timothy J. Cox, in particular, excels as the rather snooty yet sincere professor who still longs for his wife. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
The entire ensemble impresses: As Harry, Timothy J. Cox creates a funny and sad portrait of a man who still loves his wife, but can't let go. (Alex Deckard, EZine.com)
Take downtrodden literature professor Harry (Timothy J. Cox, in a wonderful performance), one of the guests at his best friend Richard's (Jeff Moffitt) home for a dinner party. To tell his story, Padovan has assembled a marvelous cast with Cox and Meares leading the way with stellar potraits of lives misspent and loves unrequited. (William Lattimer, ArticlesBase.com)
The characters are consistently well drawn and superbly brought to life by a very strong cast. This is especially true of Timothy J. Cox and Kirsty Meares. Of all the characters in the film, Harry and Amanda have probably the most complex relationship and Cox and Meares do a sterling job of bringing to life all of the unsaid tensions between these characters. (Paul Pritchard, PulpMovies.com)
Writer / director Padovan's film stars an immensely talented actor named Timothy J. Cox (his delivery and demeanor reminiscent of a young Richard Dreyfuss)...manages to bring considerable warmth and charm to the role of the hapless schnook Harry. (Lee Derringer, ArticlesBase.com)
Timothy J. Cox, in a wonderfully delightful performance. (Matt Barry,Rogue Cinema)
Pleasing performances of the entire five person ensemble....Cox and Meares lead the way with two strong lead performances as Harry and Amanda, respectively. It’s very easy to make a role like Harry a bit of a downer, but Cox, even at his most droll, manages to imbue Harry with a certain sweetness, humanity and likability. In the end of the film, you see why Amanda was with him. (Peter Sanderson,Cinema Roll)
Padovan's script gives nice moments to Cox and Meares, who are both very good in their performances. (Michael Dietz, Your Movie Reviews)
Cox’s nice turn as Harry, the teddy bear buried beneath a façade of sarcasm. (Peter Clerkin,Your Movie Reviews)
Of the cast, Cox and Meares are stand outs.(Jamie Kenton,Short Films Round Up)
Cox and Meares do good work individually and play off each other nicely in a great scene at the end of the film. (Phillip Bapst,Clock Work Movies)
Timothy J. Cox is equally impressive as Meares' ex-husband, a borderline alcoholic French literature professor who deep down still carries a torch for his ex-wife, but also loves the life of solitude. (Joseph Arthur Clay,Blog Critics)
Adding to the film's success is the stellar and likable cast that Padovan has assembled, led by Timothy J. Cox's engaging turn as Harry. Cox is astounding in showing us glimpses into the hurt, confused soul of the man underneath a rather self-absorbed exterior. (Hannah Marie Ellison, Blog Critics)
OVER COFFEE (2010)
Add Oberholtzer’s “a little too friendly”-acting David, Portnoy’s deliciously arrogant PR agent Laura, and Cox’s overbearing and equally pompous boss, Hamilton Rice, it is the complete recipe for an ideal slice of indie short film viewing. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFilmFan.com)
Laughs come from the adversarial office friendship of Andrew and David (Michael Oberholtzer), the behavior of Cox’s domineering yet vulnerable boss character, and the attitude of a delightfully obnoxious coffee shop patron, Laura (Mallory Portnoy). (Bill Meeker, Loud Green Bird)
Timothy J. Cox has a nice moment as Rice when an inopportune phone call humorously and unexpectedly infantilizes him. (Scott's Movies.com)
The tyrannical boss from hell, Rice, played with great gusto by Cox. (Parissa Janaraghi , Movie Quotes And More)
Over Coffee is a gently funny, 15-minute comedic short that truly is sweet, just like Andrew. Writer/director Sean Meehan has created a terrific little film here that showcases some very good acting. Rounding out the cast is Timothy J. Cox as the brash boss. He's a bit of a handful, both condescending and rude to the employees. But he gets his comeuppance during his first few sips of that precious coffee thanks to a phone call from his mother. (Cary Conley, Rogue Cinema)
All of the actors are strong...I loved the juxtaposition of Cox’s very controlling Mr. Rice, who is in turn controlled by his mother. (D. Ryan Mowry, Ryan's Reviews)
Timothy J. Cox steals the last few minutes of the film in a side splitting turn as boss Rice. (Stephen McKinley, MovieFilmReview.com)
Meehan's comedy scores from start to finish because of its fast pace and appealing performances from leads Potempa and DeBoer, as well as from Cox, hysterical as the bombastic boss. (Peter Clerkin,Your Movie Reviews)
A fantastic Timothy J. Cox. (Peter Sanderson, Cinema Roll)
Cox adds a jolt of energy in his hysterical turn as the boss of bosses, Hamilton Rice. (Michael Dietz, Cinema-Crazed.com)
Cox, who anchors the production, having what seems to be a grand old time playing the Napoleonic-like Hamilton Rice. (Alex Deckard, EZine.com)
Also stand out from the cast, in a very funny performance near the end of the film, is Timothy J. Cox as boss from hell Hamilton Rice. (Elizabeth Sellars, Movie Vine)
Timothy J. Cox is a hoot as the boss with which virtually anyone who has ever worked in an office will identify. (Richard Propes,The Independent Critic)
In a brief appearance near the end of the film, Timothy J. Cox gloriously chews the scenery, having a grand old time as blowhard Hamilton Rice, a man who takes enjoyment in tossing out orders and insults (not always in that order) to anyone in his way. (Hannah Marie Ellison,Blog Critics)
There is also a great comic performance from the always reliable Cox, who looks like he's having a ball as the boss from hell, Hamilton Rice. (Joseph Arthur Clay, Blog Critics)
Cox also does nice work in a very funny performance as the obnoxious boss, Hamilton Rice. (Phillip Bapst, Clock Work Movies)
OVERCROWDED (2009)
...as both the doctor and especially the boss, he (Cox) steals the show and displays some of the best chops in the production. (D. Ryan Mowry, Ryan's Reviews)
…nice support from Cox in his brief scenes as the pompous Mr. Smith. (Hannah Marie Ellison, Blog Critics
YEAH, LOVE (2008) The great character actor Timothy J. Cox infuses yet another role with his excellent blend of realistic delivery and down-to-earth humor as Emily’s Dad, providing him with enough parental fortitude to also show how much concern he has for his little girl while also providing those “unintentionally embarrassing the child with his presence” moments as well. (Kirk S. Fernwood, OneFanFilm.com)
Timothy J. Cox played Emily’s father. Timothy did a fantastic job of playing a strong, but caring father figure. I liked how he always seemed to be trying to do the best for his daughter to make her happy. His finest scene came when he was comforting her after she took a phone call from Toby and his friends. I enjoyed how he uses his comedic timing where appropriate, giving a jolly feel to this likable character. A brilliant turn from Timothy. (Graham Blake, Movie-Blogger.com)
Timothy J. Cox manages to convince as the “Mid-LIfe” crisis dad who knows when a hug is needed. (Michael Smith, Mike's Film Talk)
Timothy J. Cox in a standout role that is hilarious and earnest; proving again his chameleon-like ability to make any character he is given completely his own. (Andrew Buckner, AWordOfDreams)
Yeah, Love benefits from a talented ensemble cast…Timothy J. Cox plays against his usual type as a doting yet mostly awkward father. (Richard Propes, The Independent Critic)
THEATRE REVIEWS
TALK RADIO (2014)
...a perfectly engrossing Timothy J. Cox (Jonathan Alexandratos, The Public Reviews)
Best of all was a scene stealing turn from Timothy J. Cox, laser sharp as Barry’s executive producer, Dan Woodruff. Even in only a handful of scenes, Mr. Cox perfectly symbolized everything the creative side of the entertainment industry hates about geeky, bottom-line-loving suits. Mr. Cox's Woodruff is first presented as an overly enthusiastic super fan of Barry’s, but underneath, a more devious and chilly side to the man exists. In one of the evenings' best moments, Mr. Cox coldly uttered the following at the close of a spot on monologue in reference to Barry, ''You get into trouble when you forgot it's a job. You get into trouble when you start thinking you're doing something more''. Cold as ice. (Paul Edward Hopkins, Why Leave Astoria)
ROUNDING THIRD (2014)
Travis Mitchell and Tim Cox...powerhouse actors. (Wendy Stiver, Loch Haven Express)
IVANOV (2012)
...a thoughtful and incisive supporting dramatic performance by Timothy J. Cox, who excelled as an endearing Pasha Lebedyev. Mr. Cox’s performance was so assured and effortless; getting every scene, every relationship, just right. (Pamela Huxtable, The Entertainment Scribe)
Another actor who hit a bull’s-eye was Timothy J. Cox, who gave a touching performance as a wonderfully realized Pasha Lebedyev, who I now think may be the most humane and graceful character in Chekhov’s canon. At first, Cox’s Lebedyev is nothing more than a silly clown, like a background performer inching his way to a close up, giggling at stories and remembrances that likely aren’t his own, but as the play progresses, we see Cox shift from silly clown to sad clown and as the play then draws to its close, there’s a quiet, subtle realization that his Lebedyev is nothing more than an empty shell of a man with nothing left, but who accepts the fate of who he is and why he is where he is in life. This realization was presented with such humanity and grace by Cox that it was quite heartbreaking at times. (Eric Grogan, Quazen)
THE 39 STEPS (2012)
The clowns, Cox and Harris, steps up to the plate and hit homers playing the more than 100 remaining roles...Cox is a total madman, commanding the stage each time he enters. His instantaneous costume, character and accent changes are intoxicating. (J.A. Babay, Loch Haven Express)
But much of the show's success belongs to Matt Harris and Tim Cox as the two ''clowns'' who change hats and attire, rapidly switching characters dozens of times. Together, the clowns had a helluva good time and so did Millbrook's audience. (Jack Felix, Williamsport Sun-Gazette)
Tim Cox and Matt Harris played every other role. They each had so much energy and talent that the show raced to its logical conclusion before I knew it. Keeping the different parts with different voices and accents took amazing skill. It really had to be seen to be believed. (Pat's Opinionated View)
THE ASPHALT CHRISTMAS (2011 and 2014)
The impressive Timothy J. Cox scored in three supporting roles, bringing genuine pathos to his turn as a soon to be executed criminal, in a scene right out of Boys Town and Angels With Dirty Faces and as a surly stage hand who sounded like Walter Brennan, but was especially memorable as the William Powell-esque copper Eddie Knight, who really, really, really likes the movies. (PEHopper. ArticlesBase)
Razor sharp in three supporting roles is the solid Timothy J. Cox, who soars in the play’s prologue in a great turn as death row inmate Moose Kowalski, a tough guy in the Cagney mold; in a brief turn as a crotchety burlesque house manager and finally, magnificent as Eddie Knight, a Robert Stack-esque cop, with a habit of quoting movies again and again and again. (Nicky Howard, Authspot.com)
My hands down favorite though was the fantastic Timothy J. Cox, who hit the bulls-eye with three great character turns, changing skillfully from the tough as nails death row inmate Moose Kowalski; to the cantankerous burlesque stage manager Ziggy and finally to his wonderful turn as the movie quoting cop Eddie Knight. In all three of his characterizations, Mr. Cox had the style and delivery of classic Hollywood down pat. (Pamela Huxtable, Quazen.com)
Timothy J. Cox, particularly spot-on as Eddie Knight, Dixie's fiance, a vaudevillian-turned-cop. (Martin Denton, nytheatre.com)
Timothy J. Cox displays versatility in his triple roles. (Ron S. Covar, Best Of Off-Broadway.com)
Solid performances come from Mr. Michael, Mr. Cox and Chris Kateff as Dixie, Eddie Knight and Fr. O’Day, respectively, each driving all of their scenes with enthusiasm and energy. Mr. Cox also scores in two brief supporting turns as an embittered convict about to face the electric chair and as a harried stage manager at the burlesque house where Dixie works. (Emily Cole, Quazen.com)
BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT (2011)
Bara Swain's quirky, but endearing Beyond A Reasonable Doubt...it was a charming piece, thanks largely to the adorable pair of (Lisa) Peart and (Timothy J.) Cox, who elevated the material with their winning and energetic performances. (Peter Sanderson, Bookstove.com)
AVENUE OF THE AMERICAS (2011)
Timothy J. Cox breathes fire into the success-obsessed ad man who find himself no longer in full control. (Scallywag & Vagabond)
Actor Timothy J. Cox shined bright in the role, showing us at first a big man, all swagger and bravado, but when Katie is about to reveal certain truths about him, Cox’s shift to a desperate, pleading and ultimately, small man was actually quite moving. (Community Radar)
On the acting side, Carter has assembled a game cast, led by Yost, exceptional as Katie, bringing a warmth and compassion to her role that made the character instantly likable. She is well matched by Timothy J. Cox, flawless as a man driven by success, who is then driven to desperation to cover up his past. (SocyBerty.com)
RUN FOR YOUR WIFE (2010)
As the lead character, Cox is everything you could ask for. He exudes a strong personality and presence on the stage that you can tell the audience really appreciates. He’s also incredibly funny.(Ben Kleppinger, Danville Advocate Messenger)
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM (2009)
Timothy J. Cox, outstanding as the teddy bear-like Peter Quince. (Michael Dietz Film and Theatre Reviews)
The company of Players, led by Timothy J. Cox as a wonderfully realized Peter Quince, are a lively group of clowns that had me laughing all the way to the very end. (Joseph Arthur Clay, Blog Critics)
Next up are the mechanicals, a ragged bunch of actor-wannabes, provide a far less romantic brand of comedy than the lovers. Lead by Timothy J. Cox as Peter Quince, whose power is often usurped by the dramatic Nick Bottom, played by Chris Kateff , this is about the sorriest band of crude actors with the biggest hearts anyone could ask for. The performance of Pyramus and Thisbe in the last scene of the play--always a highlight of any production--is spot on campy, ridiculous and completely honest. (David Rigano Theatre Reviews)
Then there are the mechanicals. As led by Chris Kateff ’s gloriously ridiculous Bottom, they are anything but common folk. All of them – Timothy J. Cox as the hapless director Peter Quince, Andrew Ash as Flute, Charlotte Layne Dunn as Starveling, Miriam Mintz as Snout and Timothy Williams as Snug (complete with tiny bear companion) – under- and over-play beautifully, making their appearances seem too few, and too brief.(Hannah Marie Ellison, Blog Critics)
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (2009)
One wants to despise Timothy J. Cox’s’ otherwise jolly Leonato for his willingness to believe the worst about his daughter and only child, but Cox too well conveys his bewilderment and grief as well as his contempt. He can’t help that he lives in a time when an unmarried woman’s virginity was the sum total of her worth. (Arlene McKanic, YourNabe.com)
Timothy Cox is similarly dynamic as Leonato, the cheerful, generous governor who is deceived into turning on his daughter. (Willow Belden, Queens Chronicle)
Timothy J. Cox plays Leonato as a Donald Trump-type host straight out of The Apprentice, a man used to the spotlight. Cox shows his wide range, from the happy-go-lucky Hugh Hefner-like master-of-the-house to the conflicted father, forgetting the cameras, eyes brimming with tears as the laughs turn to the horror before him. (Nick Leshi, BlogCritics.com)
The always genial and gregarious Timothy J. Cox. (Hannah Marie Ellison, BlogCritics.com)
AS YOU LIKE IT (2009)
Timothy Cox, who plays both the teddy-bear-like banished duke and his hard-nosed, usurping brother, transitions skillfully between the two roles. (Willow Belden, Queens Chronicle)
In an inspired act of casting, the roles of the usurping Duke Frederick and his vanquished brother Duke Senior are played by the versatile Timothy J. Cox. He does a splendid job of making each unique and memorable. Watching him alter his appearance from the Napoleonic rigidity of Frederick to the more relaxed and bouncy Senior is a revelation. As the tyrannical Duke Frederick, Mr. Cox embodies a stiff, stern, and severe posture, switch in hand, barking at those around him. As Duke Senior, even though he has lost his title and earthly possessions to his traitorous brother, Mr. Cox renders him with arms wide, ready to embrace not only his fellow Forest renegades, but also the world around him. Duke Senior’s loss turns out to be his blessing. (Nick Leshi, BlogCritics.com)
ARSENIC AND OLD LACE (2009)
The scene-stealers were Danny Mittermeyer, superb as the murderous and sadistic Jonathan Brewster, and the always top-notch Timothy J. Cox, magnificent as Dr. Einstein. Both actors exploded on to the stage at the end of Act I and set the tone and pace for the remainder of the show, playing off each other like a seasoned acting duo. (Hannah Marie Ellison, BlogCritics.com)
TWO DETECTIVES (2008)
The production did feature a gallery of strong performances from the supporting cast...Timothy J. Cox delivered an explosive turn as Jacob Lasky. (Hannah Marie Ellison, BlogCritics.com)
12TH NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (2007)
As Sirs Toby and Andrew, Timothy J. Cox and Benjamin Ellis Fine are fantastic aloof fools, giggling and gamboling amidst the bloody scene. (Samantha O'Brien, OffOffOnline.com)
Director John Hurley’s cast is frighteningly game. (Jason Zinoman,The New York Times)
Each member of the ensemble cast is top notch, all looking like they're having the time of their lives, but favorites are definitely Timothy J. Cox and Benjamin Ellis Fine, driving the show with superlative comic performances as Sir Toby (he also has the play's most memorable death scene) and Sir Andrew, respectively. (Hannah Marie Ellison, BlogCritics.com)
A JARFUL OF FIREFLIES (2007)
Rich performances...Eben French Mastin and Timothy J. Cox are hilarious as bickering, chess-playing old coots who treat being extras in the movie as a chance to refight the Civil War. (Rich Copley,Lexington Herald)
