On screen and behind the camera

Tim Robbins is an American actor, director, writer and producer. Born in West Covina, California, he grew up in New York and developed a career across theatre and film.

In The Shawshank Redemption, Robbins plays Andy Dufresne, a banker imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. His relationship with fellow prisoner Red gives the film a patient, enduring centre.

Robbins also wrote and directed Dead Man Walking, an adaptation centred on a nun and a man on death row. His direction earned an Academy Award nomination.

For Mystic River, directed by Clint Eastwood, he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The role forms another point in a career that moves between performance and filmmaking.
