so. i signed an equity contract with geva theatre center for shear madness, meaning i'm now a union actor. the only problem is, they're telling me that i'll probably have to pick a different name, since "tim goodwin" is no doubt taken. i asked my dad if they had any other choices for my name, and he suggested "t. christopher goodwin," but on the condition that i wear an ascot. i guess i'll try "timothy goodwin," maybe "timothy c. goodwin" -- giving a logical synergy with this blog -- but let's say those are taken as well...then what?i took a look on www.imdb.com and looked for tim goodwin. he was in "instinct"...but then there's a slew of sound-alikes: tom goodwin (who works in sound production), kim goodwin (make-up in "happy, texas"), jim goodwin (composer for "some girl")...we should have a convention. and how 'bout that guy over elvis' right shoulder in "Bubba Ho-Tep?" his name is timothy e goodwin. that's cutting it a little close.
