Tim Minear was born in New York, grew up in Whittier, California, and studied film at California State University, Long Beach. He was a production assistant in the 1980s on films such as Re-Animator, Dudes and Platoon. His first television spec (an episode of The X-Files) landed him his first prime time television job on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. He was then hired on The X-Files writing staff in the show’s fifth season. Tim then wrote for the ABC series Strange World.
The following year, Tim became a producer then executive producer on Angel, and wrote and directed several episodes. When Whedon launched his new TV series Firefly, he asked Tim to share executive producing duties while still working on Angel. After Firefly was cancelled Tim returned full time to Angel. He has since worked on Wonderfalls and The Inside.
