Timothy Simon Smith or also known as Tim Roth is one of my favorite actors. He was born in Dulwich- London on May the 14th of 1961. His mother was a teacher and painter and his father was a journalist. His father decided to change the name of the family from Smith to Roth because Smith was a British last name and Roth was a Jewish-British last name and in the 40s he was scared because of the World War and as a journalist he had to travel a lot and many people disliked british people.
Tim wanted to be a sculptor and he studied in Camberwell College of Arts located in London, but on those days he decided to drop out and to pursue his dream: to become an actor. At the age of 21 he started to act in a tv serie called “Made in Britain”. He also acted in “Alf” and most of his papers were as a tough guy. At that time he also acted in movies such as: “The hit”, “Van Gogh”. But Quentin Tarantino was the one who put his career in the international life with the movies: “Reservoir dogs” and “Pulp fiction”. Since the 90s he has been one of the favorite actors from the director Tarantino. Tim also took part in the movie “Four rooms”, the movie done by 4 directors.
Sometimes he is mistaken for an American because his abilities to imitate accents. He acquired this skill since early ages when he was at Brixton School where he was persecuted by his classmates because of his middle class background.
Nowadays he works in a TV serie called “Lie to me” and it’s very successful all over the world. Actually this tv show it’s one of my favorites because it’s about micro-gestures, verbal and non-verbal language and how these elements could say more about truth than a speech itself. I really enjoy the program.
