To book the part of "The Strongman" in the feature film OZ: The Great And Powerful- Tim Holmes filmed an audition piece as a short film all on location then edited it, mixed it, color corrected it and added titles, he then uploaded it to his agency. They were hesitant at first to submit this unconventional audition piece but did so after much convincing from Mr. Holmes. The only call back needed from the Michigan born director, Sam Raimi, were reference letters from past productions Tim Holmes worked on. They were sent in on a Monday morning and Tim Holmes was booked that afternoon. The rest is history on the yellow brick road.
