Encyclopedia : T : TI : TIM : Tim Minear


Tim Minear (born October 29, 1963) is an American screenwriter and director. He was born in New York, grew up in Whittier, California, and studied film at California State University, Long Beach.

Tim was an assistant director on the film Platoon, and wrote episodes for several television series including The X-Files and . He later wrote, executive-produced, and directed episodes of Strange World, Angel, Firefly, Wonderfalls, and The Inside (which he also created, with Howard Gordon).

Tim has recently had another series picked up by FOX, currently called Drive. He is also likely to be writer and director of the Spike movie if the project is given a greenlight.

Credits

Minear often works with Joss Whedon.

Minear's work is typically characterised by a sharp, black humour and an ability to portray characters who are sympathetic, understandable and completely "wrong"; the best example of this is Angel season two, where Minear wrote all of the key episodes in the 'beige Angel' arc.

He is currently working on a screenplay of The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress.

PLEASE DISCUSS CHARACTER ADDITTIONS/REMOVALS BEFORE MAKING CHANGES AT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Buffyverse#Buffyverse-box_character_inclusions)

This box cannot/shouldn't be including every Buffyverse character. Some suggested guidelines are:

"The people who appeared in the opening credits (Scooby Gang & Fang Gang/FG) appear in the box, and the most important villains/friends who had a significant emotional impact on multiple of those opening credits characters - as long as they have a significant episode count, and preferably if they appear in three or more seasons."
