The actor and Coney Island Sideshow tattooed muscleman was riveting in CALIGULA MAXIMUS.  

“Tim DAX is a work of art,” said Alfred Preisser, CALIGULA MAXIMUS director and co-writer.  ” In a lot of ways,  he embodies the essential spirit of our CALIGULA MAXIMUS, which on many levels is a celebration of individuality.”

Of his experience with CALIGULA MAXIMUS, DAX shared, “Pride in knowing I helped create, nourish and sustain moments that most people can’t even dream. Unless you experience live theatre you cannot completely fathom the spirituality of it. I act on camera and in the theatre and nothing can replace the living, breathing, evolving, emotional and vulnerable collective each of us is connected to in CALIGULA MAXIMUS.

I will take with me a smile. Whenever I think back to this moment in time it will cause me to smile and appreciate the life I live.

My goal  is to be in Hollywood very soon making rock-um sock-um, kick ass, action, sci fi, horror and any other type of film. And then of course on to children’s films… but that’s further along my path.”
