At a recent event, Timothy’s proud mother shared her excitement about her son’s incredible journey in the entertainment industry. Sitting with him, she recalled the very first moments she realized her son was destined for greatness. She explained that she had been there from the beginning, back when Timothy was just a young boy acting in commercials and appearing on Law and Order as an 11-year-old. “It’s just incredible,” she said, visibly emotional. “I’m so happy and so proud.”

The actress went on to mention how doing an episode of Law and Order in New York is a significant rite of passage for any actor. It’s a mark of arrival, she said, and Timothy’s appearance on the show had confirmed that his career was taking off. She also reflected on their early days living in an artistic high-rise in New York, where Timothy was surrounded by creativity and the arts, nurturing his passion.

Timothy’s mom shared a particularly memorable story from his childhood, one that showed his early penchant for performance. She recalled how, when he was a kid, he participated in talent shows at LaGuardia High School for the Arts. He was known as “little Timmy Tim,” performing with backup dancers, and she would drive him to Target to buy sweatpants for the show. “I had to dye them purple in my bathtub,” she said. “This was the start of something big.”

At that time, it wasn’t clear whether Timothy would pursue a career as an actor or explore another passion, like soccer, since he was also quite skilled at the sport. He played on a traveling team and excelled at soccer, but acting ultimately became his focus, and he rose to fame through his acting career. His mother’s unwavering support was evident as she spoke fondly of those early years when she could see his potential, no matter the direction he took.

In another personal milestone, Timothy’s mom shared the joy of becoming a grandmother. Her daughter had recently given birth to a baby girl in Paris, and she had been there for the birth. “It was so exciting,” she said, still in awe of the experience. When asked about what she wanted to be called as a grandmother, she explained that her own mother was called “Grandma,” as was her mother to her children. So, she decided she’d also go by “Grandma.” “I love that,” she said with a smile.

Timothy, sitting beside his mom, couldn’t help but smile as she spoke. He joked about the early days of his career, including the infamous purple sweatpants, which his mom had dyed in the bathtub. Timothy laughed and clarified that it wasn’t exactly as his mom had described. “No chance!” he laughed. “I didn’t dye those sweatpants!” Despite his lighthearted corrections, it was clear that he was deeply appreciative of his mom’s support over the years.

Timothy also revealed that he had recently become an uncle, which brought even more excitement to the family. His mom smiled proudly as he made the announcement, and the two enjoyed the moment together. As the conversation wrapped up, the family was looking forward to an exciting night ahead, as they celebrated their milestones and Timothy’s career achievements. “We’re planning to have a good time tonight,” his mother said, clearly eager to continue the celebrations. It was a heartwarming and emotional moment for the family, one full of love, pride, and new beginnings.
