Thomas Daniel "Tim" Conway (born December 15, 1933) is an American actor, writer, director, and comedian. He is known for his role as the inept Ensign Charles Parker in the 1960s World War II-set situation comedy McHale's Navy, for his sketch comedy as a co-star on the 1970s variety program The Carol Burnett Show, for starring as the title character in the Dorf series of comedy films, and for cartoon voice work as the voice of Barnacle Boy from the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants.

Conway was born in Willoughby, Ohio,a suburb of Cleveland, and grew up in nearby Chagrin Falls. He is Irish on his father's side and Romanian on his mother's.

Conway attended Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, where he majored in speech and radio, and was a member of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity. When he graduated, he enlisted the United States Army to fulfill his military obligation.

After his discharge from the Army, Conway returned to Cleveland and worked with Ernie Anderson on KYW-TV, an NBC affiliate, in 1958 and 1959. From 1960 to 1962, he was on WJW-TV (then a CBS affiliate, now a Fox affiliate) on a weekday morning film (under the Ernie's Place banner), where he also wrote material for the comedic skits shown in between film intermissions. Conway also recorded a comedy album with Anderson, who himself gained national prominence as a voice over announcer for ABC Television in the 1970s.
