WTF Happened to Tim Curry?

Tim Curry is a familiar and much-loved face if you’re a child of the eighties or nineties. First breaking out playing Dr. Frank N. Furter in the musical stage show The Rocky Horror Show, when it transitioned to the big screen, Curry was a natural to reprise his role. The resulting film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, was only a mild success, but a crazy cult sprang up around the movie that’s earned it a place in history. As it stands, it’s arguably the biggest cult film of all time, and it holds a record for the longest theatrical run of any movie, with it continually in theatrical release since its 1975 debut. Halloween revivals of the movie are a beloved tradition, and the film would not have it's staying power were it not for Curry’s showstopping turn.
It kicked off an interesting career for Curry, with him initially specializing in villains. He made an unforgettable Darkness in Ridley Scott’s Legend and Rooster in John Huston’s Annie. He also began making significant in-roads in comedy, playing the slick butler Wadsworth in the beloved Clue. In the nineties, he began to specialize as a character actor in movies like The Hunt for Red October, Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, Muppet Treasure Island (as Long John Silver) and more. Yet, it’s there’s a role he’s remembered for other than Frank N. Furter; it’s Pennywise the Clown in the iconic TV movie version of IT. His Pennywise haunted many children's dreams, including most of us here at JoBlo.
In recent years, the beloved star has been sidelined by a major stroke which has confined him to voice acting. In this episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity (written by Brad Hamerly, produced and narrated by Taylor James Johnson and edited by Kier Gomes) we examine Curry’s life and legacy.

Tim Curry unfortunately will leave us one day without ever getting an oscar nomination. I always put him on par with the late and great Alan Rickman; who also left without ever getting a single oscar nomination. Criminally underrated actors indeed😢

You'd be amazed at how many people think Tim is a retired celebrity with his talent worn-out, heading out to pasture because he can't walk nor dance like he used to. It's not that hard to figure out he's a person that deserves respect and not unreasonable assumptions because of his career. Quite frankly, I'm beyond sick of people, such as yourself, who think people revolve around you and your expectations. So I must thank you from the bottom of my heart for making a complete ass out of yourself. I enjoyed it immensely. 😘🖕🏻

I'm late Gen X, so I also saw and loved his performances in movies that were VERY different from Rocky Horror and his long theater career. Not many actors are really beloved much outside their own generation, but apparently even Millennials still got a chance to adore his performances long before being old enough to appreciate his most famous performances.

I liked the cast a lot better. Obviously the CGI for the film was much better, but that ensemble cast for the TV mini-series, especially Tim Curry, was A-MAZING! The cast for the movie was ok. There were a couple of standouts, including Bill Hader, and that red-hair teenage girl. And the new Pennywise was good. But I did not think he was anywhere near as good as Tim Curry. But I'm probably biased. Not everyone has to have the same tastes in art and/or appreciate the same things. I thought both movies were great, but I did much prefer the TV mini-series.

Had the pleasure of meeting him in the late 80's, when I was in college (after a performance of "Me & My Girl, in which he was fantastic, of course). He was very sweet to my friends and I. About 10 years later, my husband and I had just moved into a new place in Los Angeles and decided to go for a walk and check out the neighborhood. We walked into the local bookstore and there was Tim Curry, reading aloud from "A Wrinkle in Time". 🥰 BTW, if you can get your hands (or, well, ears) on a copy of "The Wordsmiths at Gordsmere" it's well worth a listen. It was produced for BBC Radio 4 a number of years ago, and it's a lot of fun. TC is part of an amazing cast.

[@SkepticalChris]

I once had the pleasure to see Tim Curry in person, though I didn't meet him personally, during his filming of Psych. It was in this big theater in a casino in Coquitlam, British Columbia and during the periods between filming where they were setting up things like the lights and stage, he was there, on stage, doing an impromptu Q&A with the audience, and the incredible charisma of Tim Curry held the entire audience like we were under a spell, and in a way we were. Many years later after his stroke, I recall seeing a video clip of Tim Curry at a relatively recent Fan Convention where he was answering questions regarding his performance in "It" and even after his stroke, it was so clear his wit, charm and charisma were still there, and he was still easily able to charm the crowd despite his post-stroke condition. He's such an international treasure and a gift to the arts.

Thank you for this, I grew up with his movies and feel like he's one of the greatest actors and it needs to be seen by everyone!!! This video made me so happy, a little sad and very nostalgic!!! Great work, you got a new sub out of me!!

Legend blew me away as a kid, it's such a great dark fantasy movie. (Tangerine Dream soundtrack version is the only way to experience it btw)

Wow Tim Curry is the quintessential entertainer. Singer, dancer, voice actor, theater actor, TV actor, movie actor, the list just goes on and on. Tim brought so many different types of characters to life with his abundant talent and creativity. Thank you Tim for the wonderful memories and the great entertainment. ☺️👍

I fell in love with Tim Curry after seeing Rock Horror. He is a great actor and his voice is hypnotic! Incredibly versatile in all of his various roles.

[@dogdriver70]

Tim is one of my fave all time actors. He has that touch of class you just dont see anymore.

[@qbik911]

Always loved Tim but I never thought of summarizing his carrier! Simply amazing! Another great video Jo! Keep em coming! :D

[@jelton52]

Back in 1982, I saw Rocky Horror for the first time. I didn't get it the first time but countless times after, I did. I still enjoy the movie today, I even sat with my teenage kids as they watched for the first time. Tim Curry will always be a part of my history. His ability to do something never done before..........wow. Love you Tim!

[@fatdaddyeddiejr]

You can tell a lot about a man by where he can recognize Tim Curry's work.

[@TheHManShow]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an actor with as much versatility as Tim Curry! What an icon!!

[@justinmazza7921]

Always been one of my all time favorite actors. Legend, Rocky Horror, Clue, and IT changed my life

[@AquariusSoul]

I appreciate this video so much. Tim Curry is truly a global gem. You have now earned a new sub. Great job!

[@gokinsmen]

Rocky Horror Picture Show, Clue, Legend, Home Alone 2. Tim Curry delivered Daniel Day Lewis-level performances in roles that no "respectable" actor would have even taken. I honestly think Rocky Horror and Clue were Oscar-worthy.

[@jamesbounds]

Some of my favorite Tim Curry performances was his roles as Pennywise from It and Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island.

[@jayrock4ya]

Awsome, I had no idea this guy played so many iconic roles. Excellent video

[@palomadls1571]

Love how well your work was throughout the video without leaving Tim Curry look an underrated actor for the next generation to come. The presentation was wonderful and well executed coming from me as a dear fan of Tim Curry work.

[@sisterdebmac]

He certainly did make an impact! I love his albums. Simplicity is wonderful. And I have to say that his most important film to me will always be Times Square. That's the Timmeh cult I'm in. Those of us who found that movie in its original release were truly changed by it. My favorite performance is Wadsworth in Clue. He swiped that flick out from under everyone else in it. And I absolutely adore Pass The Ammo. It's hilarious and deserved a much bigger audience. Another highlight of his career for me was his audiobook reading of Anne Rice's Cry To Heaven. It's incredible. If you're a fan and you've never listened to it, find it. Not kidding. You can thank me later.

[@jamespinder2839]

You forgot his cameo appearance in LEXX. A legend of an actor and lovely human being.

Great vid, was hoping you would bring up his ... interesting performance in Red Alert 3 though

[@bioblazepayne]

I'm so happy he is still alive. the absolute respect i have for him is just that, absolute

[@Super_Lowcrian]

This video felt a lot longer than 18 minutes, probably because I re-lived seeing him for the first time in all those roles in my mind.

[@jenkzkh]

Thank you for listing his movies. There's some I haven't heard of. Now I need to watch them!!

[@Rob-sn3go]

Hey, thanks for doing this Tim Curry video. It was both a informative and a tribute to the man.

[@sgt_slobber.7628]

Love Tim Curry!!!! He’s such a gifted actor!!!!!🤗🤗🤗

[@Monius13]

Tim Curry is one of the best actors in history! I love him so much! And his role in Clue is probably my favorite role of his. I adored him in that film. That whole movie was a riot, though. Everyone did a fantastic job and idk why people disliked it so much. Aside from the "different ending in each theater" thing lol

[@ladiorange]

Fantastic video

[@nunyafunyuns]

It was a right of passage when I was growing up in the 70's to go see The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I was at one of those late night screenings and yes, toast was thrown at the screen.

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

Agreed! 'Squirt gun, toast, rice, and a newspaper. All bags were checked at the door of the Rialto--we had a friend who would roll his eyes and let us through. We danced the Time Warp in the aisles and knew all of the responses. A lot of people brought umbrellas. 😂😂😂

[@ObedientWitch]

I love Tim Curry 💖💖💖 Every time I feel down, I put on a Tim Curry movie.. this wonderful man has helped me though soo many rough times, he is just amazing. You also miss the fact he played the best ever character in Command & Conquer and you could just see how much fun he had in that!
