Short Biography

Tim Meadows (born February 5, 1961) is an American actor and comedian who performed on the TV show Saturday Night Live. Meadows was born in Highland Park, Michigan, the son of Mardell, a nurse`s assistant, and Lathon Meadows, a janitor. Meadows`s start in show business was as a member of The Second City comedy troupe alongside future star Chris Farley. In 1991, Meadows landed a spot on Saturday Night Live and would go on to become a longtime cast member, appearing on the program until 2000. (This was the record for the longest tenure on the show until it was surpassed by Darrell Hammond in 2005). Meadows`s lengthy tenure on the show was used as a gag in three monologues when former cast members Phil Hartman and Mike Myers returned to the show to host, and when Alec Baldwin hosted for his twelfth time. Meadows soon moved on to other projects, including a regular role on the short-lived NBC sitcom The Michael Richards Show and a supporting role in the 2004 film The Cookout. He also guest starred as a client on the hit NBC comedy The Office in the second-season episode "The Client". His greatest post-SNL success to date, however, was a major role as a high school principal in Mean Girls, a film written by (and co-starring) fellow SNL cast member Tina Fey. He also had a part in Handsome Boy Modeling School`s album White People. In 2007, he appeared in large supporting role in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.
