While he is definitely interested in doing more acting projects, he doesn’t currently have anything in the works, and he’s not sure when he’ll get another project because it’s a little complicated for him to work on a movie.
Tim told us, “It’s not like I’m like Tom Hanks and I can go pick any movie that I want and go do it. A series of things that has to happen for me to be able to do a movie. First off, it has to be something I really, really like, and then they gotta want me for that part, and then it’s gotta fall into a time period that I’m able to do it. It’s hard for those three things to happen at the same time.”
McGraw passed on a few acting jobs due to lack of time while making his next album, and he says, “There was one TV series that about a year or two ago we worked hard on, and it was a really good story, a book that I’d read and wanted to try to go make a series out of, and got it all to the table and done but we couldn’t get the script right. I didn’t want to do it without getting the script right, so I backed off on that.”
Tim releases his brand new album Here On Earth on August 21st.
