| TIM GUINEE (Father Adam Guiteau) appeared in the films Courage Under Fire, How to Make an American Quilt, Once Around, The Night We Never Met, and Oliver Stone’s Heaven and Earth and The Doors. He starred in the independent feature, Pompatus of Love and opposite Kate Capshaw in director Griffin Dunne’s Duke of Groove. He won critical acclaim for his starring role in the BBC mini-series Comics, written by Prime Suspect writer Linda LaPlant. In the beginning of filming the role of priest Adam Guiteau in John Carpenter’s Vampires, Guinee was also simultaneously filming the role of a vampire in Blade opposite Wesley Snipes and Stephen Dorff. Guinee began acting in community theater when he was in the second grade. Born in Illinois, the teenage Guinee moved to Houston, Texas, where he attended the Houston High School for Performing Arts. He started his own theater company in Houston, before moving to New York City where he attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He made his feature film debut within three months of graduating from the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem. An inveterate world traveler, Guinee has ridden camels with Bedouins in the Sahara Desert, white-water rafted along the Zambezi River and through the Amazon in locations where westerners had not been seen since the Spanish conquest, hitchhiked through Ireland and lived in places as distant as Zambia’s Luangua Valley. Guinee produced a poetry reading benefit performance at Licoln Center with participants Joanne Woodward, Mary Louise Parker, John Turturro, Alan Ginsburg and Gregory Corso. The highly successful one-night production raised $112,00 for Rwandan relief. Guinee intends to make his film directorial debut in the near future, directing from a screenplay by his wife Daisy Foote whom he married while in production on John Carpenter’s Vampires. |
