Please don't let this masterpiece be forgotten amid his insane body of work.
Heaven rest him now. Anyone going to Rocky Horror tonight?
I know you.
I know you.
I know you.

One of the first Broadway shows I ever saw was on a school trip to see Amadeus on Broadway with Ian McKellen, Tim Curry and Jane Seymour. Became of fan of Tim Curry that day.

JFC, this feels targeted to the gay community, at this point. I didn’t think this week could get more devastating.

What the hell. The grim reaper is ****ing up Big Time. Is he lost or something, I mean the right 80-year-old to take isn't that hard to find. He lives in a big house.

Tim Curry was so wonderful as Alan Swann in Stephen Flaherty & Lynn Ahrens' ''My Favorite Year'' (1992), with Evan Pappas, Lainie Kazan and Andrea Martin. Here are promo clips from Curry's YouTube channel.

Immediate flashbacks of those midnight showings of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at the TLA Cinema on South Street in Philly back in the late 70's.
I remember in '79 he released the album "Fearless". They ran the video for the single "I Do The Rock" , along with "Paradise by the Dashboard Light", before the movie. I ran out and bought the album after the first night they showed it. Haven't listened to it in a long time but it will be playing today.
May he rest in peace.

Given her health and her age, this is not a surprising revelation - so did not and should not have been voiced (IMO).
It probably doesn't matter to you, but I am extremely disappointed (and saddened) by your choice.
Should your prediction become reality, I choose to believe that you have enough civility within you to not point up any notion that you were "right".
I hope I haven't also made a mistake in my thinking.

As a millennial, I first came to know and love him as the voice of Nigel on The Wild Thornberrys.
This clip of him as Ebenezer Scrooge with the cast of Madison Square Garden's A Christmas Carol during Macy's Parade in 2001 really hits differently.

I bought that album way back in the 70s as well, and I still regularly listen to songs from it in my music library. It contains several great tracks.
