The audition that he gave immediately placed him in a major role in the film and guaranteed him a home at X Posse Productions in the future.  Tim\u2019s positive energy, love of life, and playful spirit made filming much easier.  I remember a time when we were filming one of our longest scenes, a 13 or 14 hour day, and we were all beat and tired and he broke out his guitar and played some music, singing several 1980\u2019s tunes, cheering up the group and lifting our spirits. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Tim would move on to SCARY TALES, my next flick, and steal the show with his amazing performance.  When he fell ill, Tim remained positive, fought bravely, and spent most of his time trying to cheer everyone else up around him.  Tim will be greatly missed. He was one of the best actors I have ever had the pleasure to work with, one of the greatest people I\u2019ve crossed paths with, and my condolences are with his family.  His X Posse family will miss him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?p=13195\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13197\" title=\"tim pieciak 2\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/tim-pieciak-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"311\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Tim as Carmichael in the office during &#8220;FAMILY SECRET&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?p=13195\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13198\" title=\"tim 3\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/tim-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>RIP Tim Pieciak.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Family-Secret-Forris-Day-Jr\/dp\/B004GLZ4YG\/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1309134704&amp;sr=1-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11987\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"family secret ad pic\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/family-secret-ad-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/BookStore\/BookDetail.aspx?Book=232300\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11989\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"boxing interviews ad bio\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/boxing-interviews-ad-bio1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\" http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Yesterdays-News-Pamela-Jean-Murawski\/dp\/1607036185\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1310486560&amp;sr=1-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11987\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"family secret ad pic\" src=\" http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/yesterdays-news-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/?page_id=1371\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-11990\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"advertise header2\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/advertise-header2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"143\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Geno McGahee In 2008, I had the good fortune to meet up with Tim Pieciak, as I prepared to film FAMILY SECRET.
