Where's he from?
editFor the Belfast Project I need to know if he's a Belfast native, though the town he was born in should be mentioned in the article of course, regardless.
Anyone know? --Mal 02:38, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, Yes I know Tim and bumped into him the other night. He's from Fortwilliam in North Belfast and still lives in the Antrim Road area. He attended St Malachy's College (1975-82) and QUB (82-86), and has a Law degree. His da was a doctor. bigpad 13:04, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Religion
editSomeone keeps adding the category Category:Northern Irish Roman Catholics, although there is no proof of this whatsoever. David Mac Domhnaill 01:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Well according to another article he went to a Catholic grammar school... seven+one 14:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Just found this. That proves that he was brought up Catholic and secondly refers to himself as being from NORTHERN IRELAND which means he identifies himself as Northern Irish weather others do or not. VinDibs (talk) 02:15, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
To expand upon this discussion, Tim doesn't ever mention his own nationality in that source. However, "Irish actor" should never have been included in the article without a citation. So it should remain simply "from Northern Ireland" until a citation says otherwise. ★KEYS★ (talk) 15:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
He clearly doesn't say that he identifies himself as 'Northern Irish' in a political sense and says that he is from Belfast in Northern Ireland, a fact on the ground not a statement of the way he sees himself. He does refer to himself as a 'lapsed Papist' in his first programme on the Ulster Scots. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.0.4.122 (talk) 18:02, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
