Little is known about Timber Masterson's early life, though we know he's taught tennis at Club Med in the French West Indies, played piano at the Roosevelt Hotel, guitar at The Viper Room in Los Angeles, has thrown wild after-hours underground warehouse jams in Toronto and New York, toured an original Canadian play throughout one of the worst Newfoundland winters on record and has written for Aaron Spelling while living in Dana Point, California. He has also appeared on the Geraldo Rivera show during his life spent as a club kid in New York City, and has been a Bikram Yogi enthusiast in Orange County, CA.

Mr. Masterson is a terribly charming fellow known as an actor, a Musician, a Writer, and a participatory journalist - a whip-smart improviser who presently resides just north of Toronto, Canada, and yes, it's a long story. “Are there no points for having survived New York and L.A.? Who do I talk to about such matters?” He published a mammoth memoir entitled, Timfoolery: Tales of a Third Rate Junkie, which received rave reviews, mostly from himself. He’s reported on fashion, celebrities, and farm animals. He has donated his imaginative and heartfelt essays to many online literary journals, too numerous to mention in this shamelessly self-promotional and compelling biography. His writing has also appeared in The National Post, The Montreal Gazette, Now Magazine, Pie Magazine, OC Metro, and most recently in KABIN, and has had monthly columns in Flare Magazine and Tribe.

He was co-producer and host of a once-a-month literary interactive gathering called Word Substance Spatula at Toronto's Drake Hotel - a kind of theatre-in-the-round for writers - and has appeared on stage, screen, and in the TV shows The Expanse, The Firm, Reign, My Babysitter's a Vampire and others, as well as the odd commercial promoting products he would never use himself. He’s written/produced/hosted segments for the Vancouver-based entertainment program, “Metro Café” and a self-produced show, “Life on Timber Street,’ where he also composed the theme music, that show now being referred to as, ‘The Lost VHS Tapes.’ (Please return if you come across them). Masterson was also a lively and animated regular guest on CIUT's 89.5 FM talk radio show, HOWL, with Nik Beat, often invited to share his inspired tales, and also recalls appearing at the 215 Festival in Philadelphia and The Moth in New York City to perform and read his work to appreciative audiences, but he can’t be certain. Timber continues auditioning for projects, producing new music, crafting innovative and imaginative fresh stories, and piecing together the early stages of his podcast, This Canadian Life, as he plans to make the move to what will be a magical new home in enchanting Prince Edward County come Spring 2025, with his extraordinarily patient and funny lady, Kelly, and their charismatic and unique pooch, Rosie, which is unbearably exciting, mostly just to Tim. 

Timber Masterson has not received an Emmy, an Oscar, a MacArthur Fellowship, or any other fancy schmancy artistic prizes…yet. No one knows what the future holds for him.
