Timothy "Tim" Smith is a recurring character during the first three seasons of One Tree Hill. Portrayed by Brett Claywell, he returned in a guest appearance during season five.
Upon his introduction in the first season, Tim was a member of the Tree Hill Ravens basketball team and was best friends with the team's captain, Nathan Scott. Often referred to as "Dim" by both Nathan and his newer circle of friends, namely Brooke Davis and Nathan's half-brother, Lucas, Tim was depicted as Nathan's loyal but dimwitted sidekick. While he was portrayed as a typical jock and a member of Tree Hill High School's popular clique, Tim was often the odd man out, as shown in his peers' constant mockery of his behavior and his failed attempts at romance.
However, as the show progressed, Tim started appearing a lot less as Nathan begins distancing himself from his former bad habits and began spending more time with Haley and focusing on basketball. Tim began hi first semester of senior year with his friends, but by season 4, he was gone in the 2nd semester to a "special school" to help with his learning disability.
Sometime during the series' four-year time jump between seasons four and five, Tim married former Ravens cheerleader Bevin Mirskey, with whom had had a son named Nathan. However, by the time of the ninth season, he and Bevin had divorced.

After a routine Ravens basketball game in which Nathan, as usual, scored the winning basket, Tim and many of the other students took the school bus for a joy ride. However, when the bus nearly crashed into a train and the joyriders were apprehended by the police. However, due to the pull of their powerful parents, both Nathan and Tim were acquitted of any charges and weren't kicked off the Ravens team as most of their teammates were. With the team down in numbers of players, Keith suggested to Whitey that Lucas join the team which caused Nathan, with Tim at his side, to challenge Lucas to a match. Tim initially suggested that they might be able to use Lucas, but Nathan insisted that they didn't need him as he could win the championship single handedly.
