This time around I had the pleasure of sitting down with the talented Hollywood Movie Car Designer, “Fireball Tim” Lawrence. Tim grew up around the movie business, and has built an extensive career in the film industry having designed vehicles, weaponry, costumes and environments on over 350 major features, TV and commercials.

Tim and I cover the bulk of his career from his childhood hanging out on movies sets through schooling, his stint at Disney to the creation of his company, Fireballed Entertainment. He fills us in on his involvement on such popular films as “Gone in 60 Seconds,” “Pitch Black,” “X-Men” and “The Son of the Mask.”

We also talk about is passion for being in front of the camera as host of many popular web-based video shows as well as being guest host on TV shows like The Discovery Channel’s “Extreme Rides.” Of course, no show would be complete without talking about his passion for die-cast cars and his extensive collection that started at childhood.

Be sure to check out Tim’s official website for more information as well as pictures of his cool vehicle and movie designs. You can also find Tim on Facebook and Twitter.
