Yes!! His role in Legend was fabulous! Why was this not mentioned? Also, is that Annie Pots I see in several photos?

Not even one mention of his role as Darkness in Legend? A man who can chew scenery through 3 inches of rubber prosthetic and still project sensuality - a legend indeed!

Tim Curry's singing career outside of Rocky Horror really doesn't get enough credit. Also if ever there was a missed opportunity, it was that Tim Curry never got a shot at portraying The Joker in a Batman film during his prime.

I had the pleasure of knowing Tim while he was doing the Rocky Horror show at the Roxy Theatre. I worked on the front door of the Roxy. He was a wonderful person to work with. When I left I had a Rocky Horror show poster to which everyone in the cast signed, except Meatloaf who wasn't there when I left. I saw Tim again years later in Neiman Marcus with my mother. He was is charming self. I live in England now and he is still in L.A. What a switch! God bless Tim!

Tim Curry is still my favorite Actor. I still love watching all of his movies because he's so good at what he did. But the one movie that still blows me away is him playing "Darkness" in the movie "Legend". I was just a kid then, but his acting in it and seeing him in all those heavy prosthetics was amazing because it showed his hard work, dedication, and talent. Tim wasn't just another Actor playing a part in that film...he WAS "Darkness" and he was believable. I think that is his eternal gift; making you believe that he was the people he was portraying. And that's one heck of a gift.

[@froggy8030]

He is phenomenal in Legend!

[@TheLeslieMichelle]

@@froggy8030 Yeah, Tim is.

[@rosearow]

I was just thinking, "How could they not mention Legend?? Or include any of those stills??" Maybe it wasn't as big a deal in London as in the US? /RHPS alumni 1984-86

[@TheLeslieMichelle]

@@rosearow I really don't know. But Tim Curry really put a ton of energy into playing "Darkness". He said the prosthetics was tedious to do, his head piece which included the horns weighed a ton, and his costume made it hard to move in. And after "Legend" was finished, he said he took a very long break to just recover. But despite all of that, Tim Curry said he never regretted playing "Darkness". And he's happy that he was known for playing a different part other than the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and other parts that he had done in the past. He said it really opened him up as an actor. But the fact that the UK did not really acknowledge this film was a shock to me too. Because some of the locations were, I think, shot in London or parts of England. So for them not to acknowledge the film is just weird to me. And I do think that he should have gotten more recognition for playing the part that he played too in this bio because the stills are amazing!

[@J3nJ3nl0llip0p]

He also did his usual incredible job playing The Awfulest Guy on a 2-part episode of Criminal Minds. The absolute worst kind of pr3d@t0r... and he was SSSSOOOOO horridly, beautifully BELIEVABLE as the crack-smoking çhì!D pr3d@t0r...

First saw Rocky Horror in 1976...Grosse Pointe, Michigan. A bunch of hockey players not understanding what the hell we were watching !!!! But, a few of us ended up going to the "midnight shows" countless times thru the years ! What a talent and joy Tim Curry has been for us all. Cheers from Detroit 🇺🇲

[@SilntObsvr]

I've seen Rocky Horror Picture Show at least a dozen times between 1978 and 1985 -- including one showing where I dressed as Brad (in a bathrobe). That was before theaters started to ban hot dogs as props, but we stuck with rice, squirt guns, lighters, and newspapers. During that period, I could sing every song in the movie (except Rocky's solo) from memory, as well as dancing a creditable time warp. I loved Tim as Darkness, as well, but my favorite roll for him (tragically cut short by plot) was as the political officer of the Red October. Not many people who won't be upstaged by Sean Connery, but it took "spilled tea" and a dining nook table to do it to Tim.

[@ScratchGlass9]

@@SilntObsvr fantastic !

[@txlady1049]

Midnight shows at the Alabama Theater in Houston. We were allowed anything besides hotdogs. Theaters used to hire dancer/singers to perform on stage during the film in stage theaters, friend of mine got a gig at a theater in New Orleans in 1977. Good times!

Oh dear Lord I thought Tim Curry died for a moment and was having a Betty White flashback. He is still my favorite Captain Hook to this day. I loved Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates growing up. I always find it amazing when he plays "the good guy" since I'm so used to seeing him play a villain. Nigel Thornberry I swear, to this day, had a double life. 😂

[@TarotMom86]

I think people really underestimate his role in Home Alone 2. He was a "light" villain, but he really dug into the slapstick comedy for that film. I realize it wasn't a large role, or even his most notable role, but I feel like even with that performance he was able to show just how much depth he has as an actor. He really does so well expressing himself on camera and showing what he can truly do in any role he plays. It's the subtle details in his skill that shine through that make him iconic.

[@queencioch160]

The first time I ever heard his wonderful voice was his voice work as Hexus in Fern Gully. It inspired me to seek out his work and discover a great treasure with his work. Thanks for everything you've done Mr. Curry.

[@speedtopia2013]

...watching "the rocky horror picture show" film on west 8th street (the village -nyc in 1985 ) was the best movie experience ever ...brought toilet paper, a water gun and a newspaper for props...the audience participation was phenonmenal...it was one of those "you just had to be there" moments....also loved his "paradise garage" song since that was where I was headed after the movie ended, the "pg" was my favorite dance club, hang-out and after hours place back then ... kudos for doing this piece on him

[@Dre_Day18]

We use to do the same thing in Hollywood off Santa Monica at Nuart Theatre. I wouldn’t be surprised if the NYC one you went to began it… But It was a midnight show, every Sunday, everyone dressed up in their raunchiest rhps attire, brought prop’s & it was so much fun & great experience!

We used to bring toast. Saw it in NY several times, but saw 1st run in Houston 1975.

This is a nice profile. However, it needs one correction: He was in the stage (not film) production of "Amadeus." Overlooked: Excellent turns in "The Hunt for Red October" and "Clue" (which has become a cult classic).

[@barrymoore4470]

I caught the 'Amadeus' error too. Also, the original Broadway production of 'The Rocky Horror Show' was in early 1975 (after the film production had wrapped in the UK), not in 1974, as stated here.

[@BlueJadeU]

I'm truly surprised the guy never mentioned Tim's roll in Oscar with Sylvester Stallone. The comedic timing in that movie was awesome and Tim was superlative. As a matter of fact, I used his character's way of speaking in that movie to explain the definition of the word "unctuous" to someone not too long after seeing it.

It's well known that not all films at the time are box office successes or even critical successes sometimes it takes a while.

That was an excellent video - I have always liked Tim Curry , being introduced to him through Rocky Horror. I worked at a movie theatre in the early 80's and we ran Midnight Movies on the weekends it was always Rocky Horror every week in one theatre and some other cult film in the other theatre usually changing. So over time I got to know the cast who would do doing the Rocky Horror show in the theatre as the movie was running. This was Very Fun. So with such a good introduction to Tim Curry I have always enjoyed his acting and the great variety of characters he can play from the deeply serious as in "Three Musketeers" to the comedic as in "Clue".

a very underrated actor

[@leeshaw6641]

The original 'The Worst Witch' is an absolute classic and all kids should see it during Halloween lol

[@pamczech5984]

I don't think I will ever forget that time I saw him on late night TV singing oh what a lovely cucumber I've never seen one exactly like that before my father was even in stitches

Saturday Night Live

I loved him in "Death of some Salesmen " Tales from the crypt. Very talented!!!

I used to know Tim when he lived in LA. He would come into the video store in Silverlake. He is such a nice guy. Very generous with his time. TIM< IF YOUR READING THIS PLEASE GET IN CONTACT WITH HUGO A GO GO

One small correction (and sorry if someone has already pointed it out) Tim Curry wasn't in the film of Amadeus. He played Mozart in the original Broadways production opposite Ian McKellen as Salieri (who beat him to the Best Actor Tony in 1981) and Jane Seymour.

[@darlahourigan4300]

What a show that must have been!

[@cornelisjacobus2083]

As far as I know, Tim Curry was not in the movie Amadeus, but in the stage show.

[@davidsigalow7349]

You are correct - I saw Tim Curry on Broadway in "Amadeus." He played Mozart opposite Ian McKellen's Salieri, recreating the roles they'd originated in London. The show was unforgettable.

Thanks for the informative article about Tim Curry. I found it informative because I learned lots of new information about this great character actor. I’m curious to know how he was chosen to play Pennywise the Dancing Clown from the television movie IT. Tim Curry played the role to perfection. Tell Mr. Curry that my family forgives him for the nightmare he gave my son, lol.

Wonderful montage of one of my favorite actors and people. Continued good health sir.

[@alistairmcelwee7467]

Many movies, but Rocky Horror & Congo are my faves. So hilarious. But, never seen him less than very good in any movie. Any illustrated dictionary defining “camp” must have a picture of him.

[@Dragonblaster1]

I remember Tim guesting as PoetMan in the Canadian Sci-Fi series, “Lexx”. One line I particularly remember, delivered only as Tim could: “So you’re on the slab, and you’ve decided to be cut in half. Good choice!”

[@alyn927]

I really enjoyed this thankyou. I have been a fan Tim for years thankyou again.

[@AgeOfVintage]

Thank you Ann! 🙂

[@mariaboletsis3188]

Great actor, love him

[@ouidaevans2611]

I have been a fan since I saw him at The Roxy, in 1974. I love Tim Curry! This man is a national treasure, I realize he’s British, but we’re claiming him!

[@rsstrangetrip]

My favorite movies for Tim Curry has to be Legend, Clue and Rocky Horror show. Most have not seen Legend... Including Tom Cruise fans... Reminds me of Robin Williams The adventures of Baron Muchauser. Movies people forgot.

[@paulinesmith4017]

Interesting, but captioning the photographs - and matching them to your narration - would make it much better.

[@kellypilon2422]

How'd you do I See you've met my Faithful handyman....

[@azinegg]

I’ve always liked Tim curry, thankyou for a great informative watch!

[@seaninness334]

Well researched as far as I can tell. Really nice imagery and quite varied with that subtle digital zooms. I also liked the narration. Tim is such an intriguing performer. Subscribed. :)

[@patriciahazeltine9986]

Tim is an amazing actor, and so believable, I cannot bring myself to watch "It" as Pennywise scares the piss out of me!

[@tallspicy]

Darkness. Darkness. Darkness. A light spot in a camp movie that I adore

[@ohwiseowl9163]

Fantastic actor miss him in films

[@RareInTheHistory]

Tim Curry is a legend. Scrolling through the comments and hearing all the roles mentioned in this video reminded me just how many fantastic roles he's had. Even as supporting cast like the concierge in Home Alone 2, he steals the scene and elevates the whole project.

[@katlopez6555]

Loved your video. Tim Curry = favorite actor. very versatile. Even when he played "Dale the Whale" on Monk he was wonderful actor. Watched the midnight showing of Rocky horror in Texas, north of Houston in the early '80's and it blew me away, once I got over the shock and the 'An..tic..i..pa.........tion.'

[@LadySilence]

BigT. The real historical GOAT. Just adore any performance by him.

[@darkviolet]

Such a brilliant actor. One of my favorites of all time
