Tim Curry
Known for
With his portrayal of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show', Englishman Tim Curry (Grappenhall, 1946) created one of the most transgressive characters in cult cinema, a role he had already premiered on the London stage. An actor and singer of chameleonic range, he specialized in memorable villains: the diabolical Darkness of 'Legend', the butler Wadsworth of 'Clue' or the terrifying clown Pennywise of the miniseries 'It'. His deep, theatrical voice also made him one of the great voice actors of animation, bringing to life Hexxus in 'FernGully' or Captain Hook. Curry turned evil into an elegant art, always with an ironic wink that made his most sinister characters irresistible.
