Nashville-based songwriter and musician Sam Tinnesz is not an actor, but his work has been featured in everything from "Spiderman" and "Hunger Games" movies to "The Good Doctor" and "Quantico" on network television.
Tinnesz typically spends about 60% of his time writing for "synch," or writing songs specifically for film, television, commercials or even video games and sports programming. It's a business that's becoming more and more important for Nashville's massive network of songwriters and publishers and offers writers another viable revenue stream in addition to placements at radio or streaming platforms.
