Timothy Carlson
Timothy Carlson's filmography is kind of a wild ride, honestly. If you're into movies that don't just stick to the regular Hollywood script, you probably know his name from The Damned (2024). That film? It’s got this gritty, almost haunting vibe—like, you walk away feeling like you just stared straight into the abyss. Carlson’s performance isn’t flashy, but man, it’s raw. He’s not the guy who chews the scenery; he lets the camera linger, lets those quiet moments get under your skin. You catch yourself thinking about it days later, wondering if he was playing a character or just being himself on screen. That’s talent, right?
But he’s not just a one-hit wonder or some new kid on the block. Go back a bit and you’ll see him pop up in Arte Journal (1998), which is a totally different beast. More documentary-style, more about capturing the pulse of real life. Carlson just sort of blends in, but in a good way—like the best character actors do. He’s got this chameleon quality where he can disappear into any role, whether it’s fiction or non-fiction, and you just buy it.
And then there’s Stop the Pounding Heart (2013), which, honestly, is one of those movies that flies under the radar unless you’re really hunting for hidden gems. The film digs into questions about faith and coming of age, and Carlson brings this subtle, almost vulnerable energy that ties everything together. He’s not the loudest guy in the room, but somehow, he ends up being the one you remember.
