In the previous 7 years, he’s remained in the primary cast of numerous underrated and eccentric sci-fi television shows — Wynonna Earp, SurrealEstate, and Drifter Queen. These shows might not have actually collected the big appeal of the greatest sci-fi shows, however when Rozon spoke with us, they were making headings. SurrealEstate, in a mostly extraordinary relocation, had actually been uncanceled on CTV Sci-Fi Channel in Canada and on SyFy in the States, after being canceled approximately 7 months prior.
“To be honest, I found out a little bit before yesterday,” Rozon states, “but it was one of those things where I got the call, and I was just kind of speechless listening. Like, we’re back.

The episodes are amazing.” Rozon had actually been on a range of shows, so while the cancellation of SurrealEstate was disturbing, it wasn’t the most unexpected thing worldwide. “It’s not my first rodeo,” Rozon states, “so I’ve been there before. I’ve been on lots of canceled shows, but I’ve never been on a show I got saved before [in this way], and I’m so grateful, and so happy, and so excited.”
The Earp Exposition was set up for the very same week that Rozon got this news, making this season of his life (in which the brand-new movie, Dakota, is likewise premiering) rather cheerful and efficient. While Wynonna Earp never ever got the attention lots of think it was worthy of, it did gather crucial honor and established an incredibly faithful and adoring fan base throughout its run. This led to The Earp Exposition, a convention dedicated entirely to the television series, which stars Rozon as Doc Holliday along with Melanie Scrofano and Shamier Anderson. The fans have actually made The Earp Exposition into a genuinely unique location for the Wynonna Earp cast and team, and Rozon enjoys it, stating:
They’re unbelievable. Yeah, it’s a pure weekend of Earp-ness, and all that indicates, and for individuals who understand, they understand. They’re truly unique occasions to go to, and they sort of they refill my soul and my heart meter. Whenever it begins getting low, I go to among these things, and I return simply complete love once again. It’s fantastic.
Tim Rozon on Dakota and PTSD
Now, Dakota is being launched, a movie set around a pet including Rozon as Sergeant CJ Malcolm. CJ is satisfying a guarantee he made to his pal and fellow Afghanistan veteran Clay Sanders, who died abroad – he’s reclaiming Dakota, a fight pet dog, to Sanders’ widowed better half Kate (played by Abbie Cornish) and child Alex (played by Lola Sultan). CJ resembles a shaved, more shocked variation of Dog from Schitt’s Creek, showing the very same peaceful and reflective strength however with a deep compassion rooted in his heart. It’s the best addition to an extremely wholesome movie about PTSD and injury, in addition to recovery and relationships.
Rozon’s peaceful stoicism is utilized to fantastic impact here, something he gives lots of functions. As Rozon states, “I’m a pretty big introvert, not going to lie. I’ll prove it. Here,” he states, turning his electronic camera to expose his walls lined with books, a lot of them comics. “This is some of my comic book collection in my loft. It’s mostly books and comic books here, so I spent a lot of time alone kind of reading books.” Rozon continues, discussing his peaceful however typically kind characters:
So yeah, I am drawn to those characters, since these are the important things that influence me in life” compassion and empathy and love. Truthfully, I believe there’s fantastic strength because. Yeah, and I believe that’s what drew me to Dakota immediately, however Dakota likewise had the aspect of PTSD, and I enjoy that we sort of entered that. I believe it was very important to enter into something like that. So it did have sort of a character who is a little damaged, which, if I’m being sincere, is likewise me, I believe. Possibly I’m kinder and more from the heart now than I was, since of a few of the important things that I went through in my life. I believe I was constantly a great individual in the end, however I did go through some things. And now I take every minute, and I’m simply grateful for it.
Dakota’s Spotlight on Canines and Rozon’s Love of Animals
CJ’s (and the Sanders household’s) protective and recovery relationship with Dakota is the genuine heart of the movie, and probably what most brought in Rozon to the part in the very first location. “I’m an ambassador for a charity out here called Unite for Change, and it’s for the Animal Welfare Fund,” Rozon states. “It’s for rescue animals, because I’ve met many rescues myself here, and I’ve had lots throughout my life, including Great Danes, horses, cats, raccoons, you name it.” Rozon talks tenderly about animals and personally resonates with Dakota‘s story of how compassion can alter not just injured or shocked animals however injured people, too. He continues:
I comprehended that right away when I was offered the script, since I have actually seen animals that were dealt with a specific method, and when they found out to be dealt with another method you see them come out of their shells and to experience love and compassion once again, so it returns to enjoy and compassion are for and what they can do for the world, and how crucial it is. I have actually seen what it provides for rescue animals, and it’s truly crucial, so it was fantastic to do a movie like Dakota since it sort of shines the light that Dakota went through as much PTSD as CJ did […] So animals are impacted, and they do go through a great deal of things you understand.
As Discover explains, pets are the only animal to have actually progressed along with human beings, and “no other species has been so thoroughly integrated into human society.” For 33,000 years, pets have actually been dealing with mankind, assisting us hunt and collect, supplying friendship and security, and liking the lonesome.

Silver Internet user, who initially appeared in Great 4 #48, in addition to Galactus [possibly coming to the MCU soon], and Watcher — he’s simply my favorite. I do enjoy him a lot that I would never ever like to play him since as a fan, I simply wish to go to the theater and watch what occurs. In 2015, I got to make pals with Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg, and I believe he’d be an incredible Silver Internet user. So I’m going to toss that out there, toss Ray’s hat into the ring as Silver Internet user.
Maybe his love for the Silver Internet user states something about Rozon and the kinds of characters he takes pleasure in playing. “He’s kind of this wounded character floating around space,” Rozon states. “He knows he’s looking for something that he’s lost, but he doesn’t know what it is, because Galactus kind of wiped his memory to give him the Power Cosmic. But he’s searching for the person he loves, and he doesn’t know it. I always just loved that so much. Plus, he’s flying through space on a surfboard, which is kind of amazing.”

“I really liked this part,” Rozon states, “and I called my agent and said ‘so what happened?’ And he says, ‘yeah, I have to tell you, they think you’re too good-looking.’ I didn’t even know what that meant.” A lot of fans, both at The Earp Exposition and around the globe, certainly do understand what that indicates, with Rozon’s great appearances even being a funny element of Schitt’s Creek. “I guess if that’s the biggest cross I got to bear, I’ll take it.”
“I never think about it like that,” Rozon continues. “I still think I’m the goofy kid nobody would talk to.” Regardless, people keep wishing to speak with Rozon; he establishes long lasting relationships with every job he deals with. “I was literally talking to Mel this morning from Wynonna Earp. I was talking to Sarah Levy from Schitt’s Creek yesterday. I saw Annie [Murphy from Schitt’s Creek] a couple of weeks ago,” he states, prior to speaking kindly about much more people from various series he had actually touched with.
