Much was expected of Tim Lounibos when he acted in the 90s. Critics considered him at the forefront of an "exciting new breed of Asian American actors" with "widespread mainstream appeal"-graced with "charisma" and performances which they called "absolutely luminous" and "remarkable."But Tim was acting at a time when reflecting the face of society was hardly a consideration and the phrase "we're not going that way" was commonplace.Still he found steady work into the 2000s, guesting on numerous television shows - including Shark, Crossing Jordan, The West Wing, JAG and The Practice - and continually landing commercials for companies such as McDonald's, Carlsberg Beer, Toyota, I.N.G., and Home Depot.But then Lounibos entered what one network executive termed the "tweener stage" - too old to play the young buck, too young to play his dad - so Tim made the decision to leave Hollywood in order to provide for his family.After seven years and countless hours of supervising hundreds of employees while striving to be a quality husband and father of two, it turns out that leaving acting was the best career choice Lounibos could ever have made. That real world experience thoroughly infused him with a groundedness and, as one casting director noted, a newfound gravitas.In acting and in Hollywood, timing is everything. This is the right time for Tim Lounibos to return. Now that diversity and reflecting the face of society does matter and is an economic mandate, his mixed-race combination of German/Irish/Asian along with his seemingly unlimited acting range and depth of character make him a very viable answer to that diversity demand.Lounibos is truly a special talent in a town that thrives on mainstream uniqueness; and his decision to return paid immediate dividends when he booked a lead in a film and recurring role on a soap opera in his first two auditions coming back in early August 2016.After leaving Hollywood to go on a real world walkabout, Tim Lounibos has been wonderfully welcomed home.Yes, timing is indeed everything.
