About Timothy Englert
Acting is the most fun I’ve had since I learned to fly. Becoming different characters has allowed me to explore facets of my own character and personality that I might otherwise have been afraid to acknowledge or just did not know existed. In the thirty plays I been in since the age of five when I was Tiny Tim, I have had the opportunity to be the meanest, the sweetest, the bravest or most powerful person I could have imagined: Dodge in “Buried Child,” Kris Kringle in “Miracle on 34th Street” and God in “Creation of the World and Other Business.”
I learned of my passion for theater Durango, Colorado, where I happened to be living when The Durango Lively Arts Company was established. Over the next few years I played a variety of roles-- mostly comedic -- but the one that got my attention was Sir Lawrence, the avenging judge in “Ten Little Indians.”
I’ve been playing roles in the Denver area since 1985, sometimes in established venues, sometimes in church basements or hotel lobbies. The amusement park set may recognize me as Professor Kasczmarek from my four seasons in the Seance at Elitch's Six Flags annual Fright Fest. In 2004 I was nominated for the Denver Post "Ovation Awards" as Best Actor for my portrayal of Dodge in the Denver Repertory Theatre Company production of Sam Shepard's “Buried Child.”
My on-camera work includes speaking roles in three feature-length films, appearances in several episodes of the Grizzly Adams Productions' "Encounters With The Unexplained" series on PAX-TV, and on Animal Planet's criminal investigation series, "Busted." Commercials and industrial videos include Veterans' Affairs, National Park Service, Furniture Row, Discovery Times, the Colorado Coalition for Reason (COCORE), the Anti-Defamation League, and FOX 31.
I grew up on dry land farm in Colorado where my family raised every type of livestock from heifers to earthworms. At the University of Colorado in Boulder I studied Anthropology, Chemistry and German and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1966.
I learned to fly small planes while working in Durango and later joined the Civil Air Patrol where civilian pilots fly missions in search of lost hunters and missing aircraft. I served as the adult leader for the Boulder Squadron's cadet program and, later, was the public information officer for the Colorado Wing of the CAP.
My day job has always been in various aspects of public health, including air pollution chemistry, air quality enforcement and communicable disease control. My favorite was working as a communicable disease field investigator in the Four Corners area of Colorado where I traced outbreaks of food poisoning and tracked down carriers of sexually transmitted diseases.
I was working as an administrator in the state’s tuberculosis control program when I decided to take early retirement so that I could devote more time to acting. I’ve never regretted it.
