Your Creative Sanctuary
Welcome to The Film Actors Studio
Every week, our community gathers to create, push boundaries, and make bold choices. Supported by fellow artists who understand that the biggest breakthroughs come from the bravest attempts.
​
We dive deep into the essentials: breaking through emotional and physical blocks, exploring scene work with partners, finding your authentic self, script analysis, and developing rich characters.​​
​
I've harmonised teachings from Eric Morris, Meisner, and Ivanna Chubbuck into a practical approach built on radical gentleness.

TESTIMONIALS
The Word on the Street
★★★★★
​
I Worked with Tim for 2.5 years very closely. Tim brings a joy and sense of play to acting, which in my humble opinion is extremely important. After all, we are just playing, and you need to have fun whilst you navigate the highs and lows of the acting grind. His natural instinct and sense of calm while working has helped me immensely to loosen up and truly attempt to be in the moment, whether it’s on set or the countless self-tapes we have done together. Apart from his clear and present talent as an actor and coach, Tim is just pure joy to be around. Working with him is guaranteed to put a smile on your face, warm your heart, and improve your performance immensely.

A Bit About Me
Tim Franklin has spent over 15 years immersed in the wild ride that is the film and TV industry. Best known for playing Colby Thorne in over 300 episodes of Home & Away, he’s worked alongside A-listers like Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, Callan Mulvey, and Michael Caton in films like David Leitch’s The Fall Guy, Love Birds, Last King of the Cross, and Before Dawn—a Netflix war epic that hit #1 in Australia.
​
Before all that. It was theatre—sweat, grit, and standing ovations. Tender Napalm at The Old Fitz. Ghost Stories at the Sydney Opera House. Then came comedy, from The Moth Effect to co-creating iAm and his own podcast "Okay but What If?" with Will Gib.
​
Tim has been passing on his craft, teaching at Australia’s top institutions—AFTRS, TAFTA, JMC—before launching his own studio. He currently coaches some of the best in the business, including Jake Ryan, Travis Jeffery, Emily Weir, Sarah Roberts, Megan MacKenzie, and Thomas Doherty, helping them land major roles. Most recently, he helped Jake Ryan secure a supporting role in War Machine.
​
Tim’s approach is about making the work honest—not acting. He helps actors take control of their craft with fearless, unapologetic creativity.
