I've seen this photo & other similar ones around on sites like Tumblr but the posters never say where this shoot comes from. Is he meant to be an Elvis type character? The only thing I've heard like that is he mentioned in the Nerdist podcast that he auditioned for the Elvis character in Steve Martin's play.

I wonder if it's just from a photoshoot and not for any role? Here's another one from the same shoot - love it! By the way, this also popped up in my image search - I hadn't seen it before. Must be from high school or college swim team. Those pecs!!

Maybe a promo shot from Rock Star? Maybe it is? Here's a bigger pic - I think this is from before his Hollywood teeth.

Thanks for the timothy-olyphant.org pointer, dat. I may just disappear into my laptop for a week or 2!! I'm just intrigued as to how the white jumpsuit photo shoot came about. I don't think it's Rock Star as he more 80's glam metal style, big hair & eyeliner. Where as this is more 70's jumpsuit & big shades:

Yes, it's definitely meant to be Elvis. I don't know if it as done to promote that movie, but it might have been, just an idea for a photo shoot. Seems to be from the same time (2001).

If I didn't know better I would think he had had a ton of plastic surgery after this photo was taken. I know he didn't but it's crazy how different eyeliner makes to his face.

Hi, i've just listened to that long nerdist podcast interview (a great listen, but even better being able to listen while sunbathing in the London sun for the first time this year!)...anyway - he talks about when he auditioned for something that Steve Martin was involved in and said he was going for the Elvis part...wonder if he needed to dress up and that's maybe where these amazing photo's are from?

Just re-read the first post from Sarad, who says the same thing about that audition - sorry ๐

Hah I don't think so - you don't bring a professional photographer to an audition, and hiring one to photograph you as the character would be the first way to annoy the producers and NOT get the job.

No, definitely not Tim on the motorbike. Whereas this, I'm pretty sure is Tim. It's taken by a photographer who goes round New York, snapping celebrities from behind. (Weird, I know). This came out late Feb last year, at the time Tim was rehearsing for Hold On To Me Darling a the Atlantic Theater. He'd done an interview with the New York Times while getting his hair dyed & cut for the part, so explains lack of grey hair. The clothes & the rucksack look like stuff he wears/carries. The street sign says W20 St which is where the theater is.

Hmm, I'm not sure if that is Tim from behind. It's kind of crazy that I would even be able to recognize him from behind, but the ears/hair don't look quite right....

But I don't think the hair/ears are right.... Plus, there should be other photos of that jacket. It seems like there were a lot of pics of him with fans on the street during this time so where's the jacket pics? You know he wears the same thing over and over lol.

May I present the following exhibits 'your honor'.
His Manhattan jacket of choice (for years) appears 2 b more of a peacoat. EX. he's been photo- graphed wearing the same jacket as early as the Letterman taping in 2012 and as recently as (on the street) during the HOMD run in 2016.
Flipping the question; when have we seen T.O. wearing THIS kind of hoodie or THIS kind of backpack ๐ other than in THIS photo?
As always; it'd be FUN to research!

Speaking of FUN; how fun was it to see his (the cutest) USC swim team photo on the 2011 Ellen taping? And was her show the first to televise/unearth it?

OK here we have him signing outside the theater during Hold On to Me Darling, which would be during the same timeline as that photo. He is wearing a backpack but the jacket is different for sure, right?
No jacket. He says he needs a drink lol.
This one is from four years ago but I LOVE his hair here. Sigh.

Some more evidence your honor๐ I saw Tim at the stage door 2 nights, he had a different jacket each time. The weather varied in NY from heavy snow to mild so he probably packed a few options. He definitely had a rucksack with blue straps. But what really swings it for me is the hair. The NY Times interview came out after the photo so the photographer wouldn't have known to use a lookalike with short dark hair, more likely he would have used someone with longish greying hair, as Tim had in the rehearsal photos .
I rest my case m'lord!

'Order in the court'
I have discovered fairly incontrovertible 'evidence' in support of sarad's contention: the walking dude with the backpack is our boy, Timmy.
I still have not seen the hoodie in any other photo. But as u can see, the same blue and brown backpack is visible above (as he signs autographs outside the Atlantic Theater).
And, oh yeah; I had to dig for this 'evidence'; so the quality is not the best. However, it's all about the ๐. There r blue straps, the same shape and contrasting colors,
'find in favor of sarad'

I'm still not convinced that's our boy! I think he, umm, fills out his jeans a bit better in the tush area. And the hair and ears don't seem quite right... I'm going to need to see another pic of him in that jacket or with that backpack before I'm convinced. But what's the deal again with this photographer? Does he just take pics of people from behind and claim it's a celebrity, or does he actually spot celebrities and THEN take only take pics of them from behind?

He/she (looks like woman in profile pic) posts on twitter & Instagram. Doesn't really say how she gets the pics but most if not all of them appear to be in NY.
