Timothy Olyphant Wiki Biography

Timothy David Olyphant, also known as Tim Olyphant, Olyphantastic and Olyphantastical, is an American actor, TV producer and a voice actor too, who has earned an estimated net worth as high as $10 million during his acting career. Olyphant has appeared in such popular movies as “Scream 2”, “Meet Bill”, “A Perfect Getaway”, “Live Free or Die Hard”, “The Girl Next Door”, “Catch and Release” and many others which have increased Tim’s net worth to as high as it is nowadays. As he has taken part in filming such popular movies, you can at least imagine how Timothy Olyphant is today considered to be a rich star in show business.

Timothy David Olyphant was born on May 20, 1968, in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States of America. However, as a kid he was raised in Modesto, California, where he started to learn how to swim. Actually at first Timothy was planning to associate his future with professional swimming, and maybe even be chosen for the Olympic Games as he was training at Arden Hills Swimming and Tennis Club. Soon after his first success in swimming, Tim became a well-known swimmer in his country and later continued his trainings while attending the University of Southern California. There he studied fine arts, however, he later decided to drop these studies as he became interested in acting, and that’s how Tim decided the way to earn his net worth.

The first time Timothy Olyphant had an opportunity to increase his net worth and became a little more popular was when he portrayed Brett Artounian in 1996 in the movie “The First Wives Club” directed by Hugh Wilson.

Timothy Olyphant is also known as a voice actor. His debut in this sphere was in 2008, when he voiced a cowboy from the video game “Turok”. His next work as a voice actor was 3 years later, however, it was the famous “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3”, where he played Sergeant First Class Alfred “Grinch”. Of course, these two appearances in video games widened the audience of his fans and furthermore, added some amount of money to Olyphant’s net worth.

Nowadays famous actor and TV producer Olyphant together with his wife live in Westwood, Los Angeles. The couple have three children: their firstborn daughter Katherine was born eight years after marriage, in 1999. Later son Henry was born, and then their youngest child Vivian. Today father of the family Timothy Olymphant’s net worth continues to rise as he hassn’t stop his activity in show business industry. In 2014 he appeared as John Brooder in “Bone Tomahawk” and as Horry from the famous “This Is Where I Leave You”. However, the last time Tim’s net worth was raised thanks to his appearance on TV was in 2013, when he portrayed Wesley from “The League”, “Graham Logan” from “The Mindy Project” and Lucas Troy from the “Archer”.

Timothy Olyphant Quotes

  • [on his unique walk] I think people talking about the way I walk sounds great. Me talking about the way I walk sounds moronic.
  • [on Justified (2010), which ran for six seasons] I have a very healthy understanding of how good a gig this is. You’re never quite sure, when you first get something if you really have a sense of what an opportunity it is. I think I’ve learned, over the years, that this is about as good as it gets, as far as working in show business.
  • [on room service] I’ll admit a little something: If I go to one of those hotels where there’s like a $50 omelet, I’m taking the silverware home with me. I’m not saying it’s right. I just feel like it’s an unspoken agreement where the mug and the silverware are just part of the deal.
  • [on late writer Elmore Leonard, who created the Raylan Givens character in Justified (2010)] The guy was genuinely cool. It was never a pose with him. You can go into any party or public gathering, and you’ll see lots of people trying to act cool, and then there’s always one person off in the corner, not doing much, who’s the real deal. That was Elmore.
  • [on playing a fictionalized version of himself on The Grinder (2015) and being portrayed as a philanderer] I said (to the people behind the show), “This is a little bit of an issue because I’m playing Timothy Olyphant and Timothy Olyphant has been married for 25 years… and you’ve got him showing up and he’s going to have this affair with this girl, and that’s not really ‘me,'” and they said, “Well, that’s not the way we see the character.” I actually said to my wife at one point, “Are we OK with this?” and she said, “Tim, nobody takes this shit seriously.”
  • [on the the strong dialogue on Justified (2010), inspired by the writing of Elmore Leonard] It’s a joy, you know, it’s a pleasure to be able to speak these lines and have such good dialogue. It’s hard to get your hands on that and I feel like I get to do it week in and week out. And it’s not lost on me and what an opportunity it is and I’m enjoying every second of it. But, my contribution to that… you know, very little. I’m not sure it’s my greatest strength. The word “dude” comes out of my mouth a lot and so my contributions need to be translated and rearticulated in Elmore speak.
  • [on fandom and being recognized] I know the difference between someone coming up to you on the street and saying, “Hey, you’re that dude, right. Yes, that’s what I thought,” and somebody coming up and saying, “Big fan of the show. Big fan of that character.” And that’s nice. You’re out there telling stories, you’re hoping to find an audience, and it’s very appreciated.
  • I trust that I know a good part when I see one and usually, when I see one, I have to wait for seven people to pass, in order for me to get it.
  • [on Deadwood (2004)] I think that after 9/11 there was a feeling in this country that people felt that their enemies were everywhere and around the corner, and were looking at their neighbors differently. That feeling seemed to be very much alive in our show. That capacity for violence was everywhere. So, as much as it was about the 1800s, it felt very much like we were doing something contemporary.
  • [Joking about why he was passed over as Best Actor in a Dramatic Series for his show Justified (2010)] As I understand it, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is fifty people from around the world that make that vote, and I slept with three of them. I don’t know if that helps me or hurts me, but it just shows you it could turn pretty quick.
  • [on committing to a TV series] I can’t speak for everybody, but for me, if you told actors that you wanted to do a TV series and it was going to run three years and that’s it, you’re done, I think the line would get a lot longer, without question. It’s really easy to fall into this habit of, “Ahh, I don’t know what I’m going to do next.” You think every job is your last job, but there’s another side to that, which is that it never gets any better than when you first get a new job. It’s the most fun. When somebody says, “You got the job,” that’s the most fun, and from that point forward, it’s so exciting, but part of the fun is when the job is over and you move on. The danger with success in television is “Haven’t we shot this episode before? Didn’t we shoot this scene two years ago?” I think it’s really hard to just take the risk from season to season and not be afraid to give the audience something completely different, and trust that they’ll come with you.
  • Well, bottom line with A Perfect Getaway (2009) was, I thought “I’m going to have a lot of fun at work”. That part was gonna get me an opportunity to play and have fun. There’s something great when you read something and you have some sense of, “I know what to do here. Give me a little room. This is going to be a lot of fun”. And then when we got Steve [Steve Zahn], “Well, now it’s going to be a ton of fun, because there’s somebody who’s going to be so fun to bounce off of”. The quality of the actors I got to work with on that made it seem like I was getting away with something.
  • [on Deadwood (2004)] The fact is, this job is always fun, always a good time, but it’s not that often that you can be as proud of it as I am of this experience. We just had a great time making it too.
  • Istanbul was unbelievable! What a city! I could go back there again and again. That was a fascinating place. It was a very foreign experience. But yeah, that is one of the perks of the job. You get to go places that you’d never imagine and see a part of the world you hadn’t considered before. It was great. (On filming portions of Hitman (2007) in Istanbul).
