Tim Plester is a British actor, writer and filmmaker born in 1970 in Oxfordshire. He trained in theatre and drama before entering film and television, cultivating a career that bridges character roles and behind-the‐camera creative work. He has appeared in a wide variety of screen roles – from supporting parts in high-profile series like Game of Thrones to feature films such as Bohemian Rhapsody – demonstrating a steady presence in both mainstream and independent productions.

Beyond acting, Plester has written and directed documentaries and short films. His interest in vernacular custom and folk culture shaped his co-direction of the documentary Way of the Morris, among others, showing that his creative ambitions extend beyond performance into authorship and filmmaking. On stage and in film he has also written and produced short works that have achieved cult status, signalling fluency with self-initiated projects and story development.

Plester’s skill-set encompasses character acting with adaptability to genre (drama, historical, fantasy, documentary), scriptwriting and directing, and a distinctive voice that engages with cultural roots and independent film-making. His long-term involvement across multiple roles – from actor to creator – marks him as a multi-faceted practitioner capable of both supporting and driving projects.
