- Tim's trademark tattoo, the crossed arrows representing the Native American symbol for friendship, makes a cameo in every one of his directorial efforts. In 2001 Maniacs (2005), it is on the upper arm of Ricky (Brian Gross); In Driftwood (2006), it is the character of Dean (Russell Sams) who bears the mark; In 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams (2010), it is on the upper arm of Falcon (Trevor Wright). In Chillerama (2011), it is on Sullivan himself in the role of Coach Tuffman.
- His name and picture can be seen on a "Wanted Poster" in the police station scene of Jeepers Creepers (2001). The film's storyboard artist, Brad Parker, is a friend of Tim's and was responsible for this much sighted cameo.
