Timothy Woodward Jr. is an American film and TV director, actor and producer.
Life
Woodward was born in Georgetown, South Carolina[1][2][3] in 1983.[4] He began his career as actor in various series and films.[5]
A prolific filmmaker,[6] Woodward, for example, directed 13 films between 2013 and 2017.[7][8] They include the biographical Western Hickok[9][10] and the period drama Gangster Land. In a review of that film, Variety described him as follows:
Timothy Woodward Jr. was born too late. Clearly, the kind of enterprise that enabled this actor-turned-director to make no less than 13 features in the last five years for his own production company would’ve been ideally deployed in a “golden age” Poverty Row studio.[11]
In 2018 Woodward, "who until (then) ha(d) primarily worked in the action and Western genres" directed his first horror film, The Final Wish.[12] He made another horror film in 2020, The Call,[13] and in 2023, Til Death Do Us Part, a thriller[14] and Woodward's third collaboration with Jeffrey Reddick.[15]
Woodward has also overseen the Amazon Prime series Studio City since 2019. This series, created by Sean Keanan, is directed, co-written and produced by Woodward and has received various Indie Series award[16][17] and Emmy nominations, including "Outstanding directing team" for Woodward,[18] and two wins, including the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Limited Series in 2021.[19][20]
