Tim Foyle is a fictional character on The CW television series, "Veronica Mars", which debuted during the fall 2004 season on UPN. He is portrayed by James Jordan.

Background

Tim Foyle is a teaching assistant for Professor Hank Landry at Hearst College. Throughout season 3, Tim seems to dislike Veronica, possibly because Landry seems to prefer her over him. In the first session of Landry's criminology class (in Welcome Wagon), he has his students play a detective game, "Murder on the Riverboat Queen". Veronica beats Tim's record time for solving the mystery by ten minutes, then embarrasses and annoys him by saying "There is one thing I can't figure out: what did you do with the extra ten minutes?"

In Hi, Infidelity, Tim accuses Veronica of plagiarizing her mid-term paper and gives her three days to clear herself. After Veronica figures out what happened, she accuses Tim of setting her up just so that she would discover that Landry was having an affair with Mindy O'Dell, the Dean's wife, but Tim denies it.

In Papa's Cabin, Tim and Veronica team up in an attempt to clear Dr. Landry of the murder of Hearst College's Dean of Students, Cyrus O'Dell. At the end of the episode, however, it is revealed that Tim himself murdered Cyrus O'Dell to take revenge on Landry for ruining his chances at a job at (a fictional version of) Pepperdine University, by giving an unfavorable reference to the prospective employer.
