your typical multiracial asian american country boy to hollywood story…

When arriving in Hollywood, critics considered Tim Lounibos at the forefront of an “exciting new breed of Asian American actors” with “widespread mainstream appeal”—graced with “charisma” and performances which they called “absolutely luminous” and “remarkable”—but that was the 90s when quality inclusive casting was still decades away. 

In almost thirty years, Tim has carved out a worthy career covering film, tv, commercials, animated voice over, and theatre where he co-founded the acclaimed and groundbreaking Asian American theatre Lodestone Theatre Ensemble. credits include recurring roles on bosch, the west wing, jag, and beverly hills: 90210; and he’s most recently been seen on netflix’s i think you should leave, fbi: most wanted, ncis: los angeles, ncis, and hawaii five-0. Tim also has the distinction of being part of the star trek universe 3x over via on-camera as well as voice over appearances and is thrilled to be on his very own action and game cards. In addition to acting, this mixed-race Asian American honed his producing and administrative skills by co-artistic directing Lodestone, being development manager for aMedia Inc., producing Los Angeles’ Ovation Awards, producing the Ammy Awards which celebrated Asian Americans in film and tv, and being the business administrator for East West Players—the nation’s largest, longest-running, and premier Asian American theatre.

An avid reader since childhood and talented actor who loved reading to his own kids with a myriad of voices, Tim draws upon his full and rich life history for audiobook narration:  growing up Asian out in the “country” surrounded by a sea of white (mostly positive but laced with cutting pain), being the class leader and star athlete who was also a huge fantasy and sci-fi geek, experiencing an adventurous, enlightening, and at-times crazy college life at UC Berkeley, soaking in a myriad of cultural interactions and exchanges from various acting and producing travels throughout Asia and Europe. 

Tim is extremely gratified to proclaim that he is a loving and nurturing father and husband whose favorite times are spent playing board games, doing escape rooms, and going on spur-of-the-moment getaways with his family. His voice has been described as rich, soothing, gritty, playful, and honest, and he finds himself attracted to giving voice to conflicted heroes and misunderstood characters, trusted and wise elders, and sinister antagonists (while utilizing a country twang whenever it makes sense). Favorite genres include mystery/thrillers, crime, fantasy/sci-fi, children’s, ya, self-help, finance, and biographies. When not acting or having fun with his family, Tim loves screenwriting, exploring the outdoors, and laughing and hanging with his friends.
