Tim Cartwright

Tim moved to Cornwall at the age of 4 and grew up in Newlyn (still one of his favourite places). His first performance was at the age of 16 as a walk-on in BBC’s Poldark in the 1970s. Tim has always loved performing and has involved himself in a number of amateur productions, working with local groups and has worked with local community arts organisations on a range of projects such as the Golowan ‘Christmazy Grottos’ and the Golowan (midsummer)and Montol (midwinter) festivals in Penzance. A few years ago, he took the decision to become a full-time performer and get some formal training. He is now coming to the end of his 3rd year of a 3-year BA (Hons) degree course in Theatre & Performance at the Academy of Music and Theatre Arts, Falmouth University. Outside university, he continues to fill his time acting in films and on stage (he has just finished filming as one of the leads in a comedy horror feature film where he has been throwing himself around the set fighting werewolves) and considers his decision to go to Falmouth University as one of the best decisions he’s ever made.
