....Space!

SHPAAAAAAAYSH

Yeah, C&C

The best part is that even he had visible trouble containing his laughter.
when I was younger i thought he was funny, now i think he was justified

You really can't, because a lot of Curry's best works have become timeless classics that have gone on to gain new fans. I certainly wasn't alive for the original theatrical run of Rocky Horror Picture Show or the broadcast of the IT tv series, but they're the first two that come to mind.

You certainly were and are alive for Rocky Horror Picture Show's original theatrical release because it is still on it. It has been continuously shown in theaters since it came out. It is the longest running release in movie history as well as most played movie in terms of numbers of showings in history. And it just had a 4k release for its 50th anniversary, also on its original theatrical run.

He'll always be Frank N Furter to me Ya, im old

"I am going to the one place that hasn't been CORRUPTED by CAPITALISM.... visibly tries not to laugh... SPAAaaAAce!"

HAHAH……..SPACEEEEE!

For me, I relate Tim Curry with:

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Home Alone 2
Command and Coquer: Red Alert
Furngully

Im sure I've seen him in many many other things but those always come to mind. Sad what happened to him though.

Wow, I totally forgot he was in Ferngully!

Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Of course. I took my uncle to midnight showing, and the guy in front of him heard him disparaging the "hippies" around the theater. When Dr Frank-N-Furter came down the elevator, the guy stood up, and when Dr. F made his reveal, the guy spun around to face my uncle, and yanked his long coat open to reveal a full Dr F costume. It traumatized my uncle for life.
Can confirm this is true across many generations
- ...which would mean that you probably cannot actually tell how old someone is based on recognizing the good doctor.
  ... which also does make sense given the sacred ritual of the time warp.
How'd you do I... See you've met my... Faithful... handyman. legendary eyebrow raise

Theres a light over at the Frankenstein place 🎶🎵

I had to scroll way too far to see someone else who know him as a sweet transvestite from transexual Transylvania.

It from 1990. Absolutely horrifying Pennywise

I had to scroll down so far that I started to wonder whether I had to comment it myself.
- same. Holy shit, can't believe i had to scroll this far down D:
That shit was on network television during primetime! Scarred our entire generation.
- At least the ones that weren’t already done in by Gremlins.
We all float down here...

I am 1+2+2+1 years old.

We're none of y'all ever fucking children‽

The worst witch

Ferngully

Muppet Treasure Island!!!

We're none of y'all ever fucking children‽
Ummm…
- Yeah, that was some poor phrasing. But your comment made me laugh so I'll refuse to edit it.

There shall never be another dawn!

SMASHING

Where do i know him from?

EVERYTHING

I definitely know his face from Ferngully.

I know him from many things but he'll always be...

Ferngully or Home alone 2 probably. Don't know which came first for me.

Ferngully... There's a name I haven't heard in a long, long, time.

What does it mean if I know this guy but I have no idea where from?

That he's been in a bunch of things of value, often as a smaller role.

Command and conquer, then Clue, then home alone 2.

I watched Ferngully for the first time again in likw 20 years maybe. Movie still holds up exactly like I remember and now I can't stop singing like Tim Curry mmmm Poison slime, toxic slug mmm that's what I love mmmm. Tim Curry is the mutha fuckin man!

I loved that song. Didn t know who was it that played hexxes ( i believe ) .

I cannot believe I'm the only person here who is mentioning The Hunt for Red October.

I loved that movie - if only because it had Sean Connery try to do a Russian accent with a very thick Scottish accent overlay.
- I think Captain Ramius was just from the Scottish part of the USSR.

Clue.

Clue and Space!

Seems silly, but I most remember him from his brief stint on Psych playing Nigel St. Nigel, a knockoff Simon Cowell.

I think he did a guest showing on Monk too.

And also as Nigel from the Wild Thornberrys.

"I feel like an angel baby swaddled in a cocoon of cloud candy."

Isn’t that guy just a sweet transvestite?

Muppets Treasure Island

Everything. But... Clue, Legend, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic. Wish I could have seen him on stage (always loved Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, would have been great to see it with him in it).

Fabulous man, wonderful career.

gasp.....ROCKY!!!!

Legend!

Red alert lol

I know him from lots of different places.

Legend

Boyyyyyyyy!
- Every wolf has fleas! 'Tis easy enough... to scratch!

My introduction to Tim Curry was as Rooster in Annie (1982).

i was fortunate enough to see Clue on stage last october and the dude who played Bodily was having the time of our lives.

I never played it but he did a voice in the game Toon Struck

National Lampoon's: Loaded Weapon 1

Command and conquer.

Clue for me lol

Same 🙂

Legend

Who is that? ... Is this meta, where people who don't know the person also fit an age range?

I'm gen z, I don't know that guy. However I also don't watch TV or read news about celebrities, so I can't name any current celebrities either lol
I can recognize Chris Pratt, the guys from MythBusters, and some of the Marvel actors but that's about it.

Clue
Three Musketeers
Pirates of Penzance

But let's be honest, he raises the bar in basically any role.

Cardinal Tim Curry is best Tim Curry.
Three Musketeers best Cardinal

Command and conquer red alert 3/ wild thornberries

One is visual the other is his voice.

Who?

Home Alone

AH-LIE-ZHA!

Nigel Thornberry

The Abhorsen and Series of Unfortunate Events audiobooks

EARTH II

That show was amazing

RHPS.

Earth 2

My man!

I remember him going to the one place not corrupted by capitalism. SPACE!

Hooook

Hook? He wasn't in Hook. Are you thinking of when he played the pirate Jong John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island?
- Hahaha. Oops. Face blindness. And now you know how old I am.

Rocky Horror Picture Show, Clue and…. Charlie’s Angels

Man, no peter pan mentions? His Hook was great.

He wasn’t in Hook
- Yeah, I was confusing him with another actor - but funnily enough, he was the voice of Captain Hook in the animated show Peter Pan & the Pirates.

Muppets treasure island

Oscar.

It’s such an underrated movie.

Lexx

Thanks! I'd forgotten about his joining them. Had to look it up (he was in the episode they returned to Kai's home planet. Of course it's all excentric costumes & mad singing. Essentially, the whole species is a tribute to Rocky Horror Picture Show. Of course Tim Curry is key to making a proper tribute).
