Timothy Stack (born November 21, 1956) is an American film and television actor and screenwriter.

Life and career

He was born in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, the son of Joan and Tom Stack.^[1] He graduated from the esteemed Philadelphia-area prep school Germantown Academy in 1973 and graduated from Boston College in 1978. After graduating, Tim moved to Los Angeles and quickly joined the improvisational comedy group The Groundlings in 1979.

In the early 1990s Stack appeared as the father of the main character on Parker Lewis Can't Lose. He later starred as "Dick Dietrick" on the raunchy talk show spoof Night Stand with Dick Dietrick. The role Stack is probably best known for is "Notch Johnson" on Son of the Beach, a Howard Stern-produced Baywatch spoof which aired on the FX cable channel from 2000 to 2002. Stern claimed that extras on Son of the Beach insisted on being paid extra before they would do kissing scenes with Stack.

He continues to get regular voiceover work, e.g. The Brave Little Toaster film series. Beginning in 2005, Stack started appearing in a recurring sketch on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno called Pumpcast News. In the sketch, Stack plays a fictional cable news reporter who interacts with customers at gas pumps – sometimes completely taking people off guard. Stack also plays a fictional version of himself on the television program My Name Is Earl, in which he is portrayed as a self-infatuated, Viagra-popping, drunk-driving resident of Camden County who frequently hosts beauty pageants and parades. He has also written several episodes of Son of the Beach and My Name Is Earl. He also starred as the principal in Idle Hands.

Aside from starring or prominent roles, Stack has guest starred in several popular sitcoms over the years, including Benson, Laverne and Shirley, Night Court, The Wonder Years, Seinfeld, Wings, Malcolm in the Middle, and The Golden Girls^[2] He lives with his wife Jan Stack and their children Murphy and Doyle.^[3]

He hosts the computer DVD game Outburst.^{[citation needed]}
