Tim Holmes was born in Lansing, Michigan. He grew up working in his family's flower shop. At age 18, immediately after graduating from high school, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. He was signed to MCA Records as a solo artist, T.C. Holmes. He parlayed his music contacts into an acting career, appearing in afternoon Soap Operas, B films and various other TV pilot projects. Tim took a 10 year sabbatical from the entertainment business during which time he became a firefighter, started a successful business, moved back to Michigan, got married and had twin boys. With the rise of the film industry in Michigan, Tim delved back into acting in 2009 and has had great success. He has spent a lot of time honing his craft and developing his acting and film making skills since that time.
