OMG! He looks great and that's a beautiful horse! (But either Tim is an even bigger guy than I thought or that's tiny horse! Tim looks like he's almost bigger than his mount!)
Aaand, the intarwebs tell me Matt is 5'11 1/2" tall, so just shy of six feet. Unless the intarwebs are lying, Tim is about three inches taller. I guess I'm just bad at gauging height with my eyes :D
It is pretty obvious from looking at those pictures.
Also: Th RPF is practically writing itself. The fact that they are all snuggly and touchy and friends in real life, not to mention the fact that Tim calls Matt "Matty"...they are too adorable, those two!
Yeah, Tim talks a lot about how Neal and Peter can't trust one another 100%, or they'd be in bed together already, and on the commentary he talks about the Burkes building on another bedroom....
He was asked at Comic Con what his favorite kinds of scenes to film are, and he said that everyone around the table at work, brainstorming, but especially Peter, El, and Neal at the Burkes' home. And Marsha (I think) went "Bowm-chicka-bowm-bowm" and then TIM DID TOO.
Tim is an OT3 fan. It's disturbing. There's also a video about how he'd love to see an episode where someone tries to take Neal away from Peter, and how *possessive* (his word) Peter would get. And he got this evil little gleam in his eye.
Is there a vid of Tim and Marsha cheering the OT3 at Comic Con? If so, I must see it. I wish I had the money to blow on the dvd, now I really want to see those commentaries. Tim seems really freaking awesome, and pretty sly, to be picking up on the OT3 potential in the show, and, I assume, the prominence of OT3 in this fandom. I think that slash has permeated popular culture to the extent that creators can generally be expected to know that slash will be written for their media, but I don't think the same can be said of OT3 ships. I sometimes wonder how aware the WC writers are of OT3 in this show and fandom, although now that you mention it, I think I recall reading something where Jeff talked about how Tim is always pushing the OT3 (though not in those exact words).
All of the Comic Con panel is up on You Tube, in pieces. And almost any video interview with Tim (again, a bunch are on YouTube) definitely support the "Tim is Awesome" stuff. Certainly Matt referring to Tim as his role model and life coach helps it along. Not to mention spontaneously flinging his arms around him in the middle of the Paley Center panel and hanging on tight, thus giving me my icon.
Do you know if there's a video of the moment when Matt does the arm fling in your icon?? What a heart-melting moment!! Is your icon available for sharing? :D
The Comic con panel is here on the USA site. The relevant part is about a half hour in.
If you don't want to watch it all--though not quite as good a quality--it's on Youtube here. Tim's line about liking the scene at the table is at 4:45, but it's funnier if you watch the whole thing of the actors talking about their favorite scenes starts (starting at 3:45), because Sharif Atkins' favorite scene is "when they all come and visit me in the van. White Collar Nights!" and Willie Garson says after Marsha's "bow chicka wow wow" that it can be the pilot for White Collar Nights.
no, there are no videos of either of these moments. The hug is from the Paley Center panel, of which only very brief video clips were released by the Paley Center on their website, and the Today show photo was taken off of the set, after the interview was over.

Keep in mind that Matt's wearing a hat, and Tim isn't standing up straight. :D
There's this, and this, and this (which is probably the most accurate visual).
Hope those help!
