      Fun fact- when Rocky horror was being made into a film several prominent actors showed interest in playing Frank N Furter-including Mick Jagger-but they decided to stay with Curry. Who else could be funny yet scary? Sexy yet evil?
      He is what legends aspire to be.

I hope he keeps working because Tim is such a great actor. I will always remember the elevator scene in RHPS when l frist saw him. I will always love Tim Curry for his ability to break norms of the times. One really can't compare a TV Pennywise to a movie Pennywise, TV has limited boundried . Movies are able to be more horrorific. Tim Curry gave his all to every part he took. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👄👄👄👄👄👄👄

Sorry, but I have to disagree. I watched it, I didn't know who played what, but that *voice* said "Here's Tim Curry!". I recognized him almost immediately. Sure, not by *face* but definitely him.
    Also, I was rather surprised that one of my favourite (#2 for me) of his roles wasn't here - Farley Claymore in "The Shadow". By the end of it, a literally frothing-at-the-mouth madman but oh, such an impressive sycophant for the bad guy.
