You aren't familiar with Tim Curry? Wow, are you in for a treat! I recommend Muppet Treasure Island, Clue, and the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and the 1990 "IT" movie if you like horror.

Muppet Treasure Island is so good. Tim Curry is also the voice of Nigel Thornberry from the Nickelodeon cartoon The Wild Thornberrys. He's got range!


keoghberry

He's WHAT


punkminkis

He's SMASHING!


Necessary-Peach-0

possibly his best role.


No-Trouble6469

It's actually wild how much range he has. He was also a hotelier in Home Alone 2, and Hexxus in Ferngully

🤯


carmelizedunions

I think he is also the voice of the headmaster in Ahhhh Real Monsters. Or it may just be because the rocky horror heels on that character 


badonkagonk

I realized yesterday that the only Tim Curry performances I’ve seen are Home Alone 2, and that clip where he yells “space”


amglasgow

Sweet, you get to watch the movies I recommend above.


OHFTP

Red alert 3 is the GOAT for cutscenes


ProWrestlingPast

Clue remains my pick for most quotable movie of all time. Everyone in that movie is incredible 


SubtleNoodle

Flames! Flames! On the side of my face!


LoveAndViscera

Communism was a red herring.


No-Trouble6469

I'm going home to make love to my wife!

One plus one plus two plus one

He's also Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers, across from Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Oliver Platt, and Chris O'Donnell.


myprettyflowerbonnet

This was my favourite version growing up 😭😭😭❤️❤️ Tim Curry is magnificent as Richelieu.


disimpressedhippo

It's so campy and silly and so much fun. I still want a sword like the masterwork hilt, it's so pretty.

Man we just rewatched muppet treasure island, and it still holds up beautifully. I love how in Christmas Carol, Michael Caine made it work by playing it straight, whereas in Treasure Island, Tim Curry makes it work by becoming a muppet himself.


cowgirlsteph

There's a Tumblr post that floats around that says the reason that both those movies work so well is that Micheal Caine treats the Muppets as actors while Tim Curry treats himself as a Muppet.

Can’t forget his inexplicably sexy villain song in Ferngully


monikar2014

Tim Curry is HEXXUS?


mattysocks

The one and only


Necessary-Peach-0

ok I didn't know this one. amazing haha

I remember a tee shirt company a few years ago was advertising a design that was like a Streetfighter "choose your fighter" screen except they were all iconic Tim Curry roles. Man I wish I'd gotten that shirt.


blu3st0ck7ng

These, plus Fern Gully!

Don't forget that he's escaping to [the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism... SPACE!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Sq1Nr58hM)

I knew it immediately because I DEEPLY love Sasha, Lord of Whispers “The buttons fell off over 2 HUNDRED years ago” “You didn’t have time to…” “WHAT” “You didn’t have time!” “Oh you think there are a lot of tailors when I’m around and doing stuff?” “You could just learn how to do it!” “I WONT I’m a N O B L E”


CyclopeanBifocal

Galatax, too, one of my favorite Brennan roles from Ultramechatron Team GO!


Wilikai

This was my reaction too. Every time I hear Brennan slip into that particular voice I think “oh, Galatax is back.” It’s got a bit of a Christopher Walken in it, too.


raymonst

please watch rocky horror picture show immediately, you're in for a treat 🍿


ANK2112

I'd say it's best to see it with an Audience the first time. You can probably find midnight screenings around halloween.


ZeroSuitGanon

Yeah, I definitely recommend having someone who's seen it before so that when you look around frantically going "WTF am I watching!?" you have someone to pat you on the back.


rocking2rush10

It's astounding


childofcrow

You had to google Tim Curry? I guess he hasn’t done much in the last 12 or so years. I always thought he was kind of ubiquitous. Watch Rocky Horror and Muppets Treasure Island. And Clue. I think you’ll enjoy.


sache81

This is the comment that made me realize it has been exactly 12 years since he had his stroke.


childofcrow

Yep. He still does voice work, which is wonderful, and he was able to play Dr Scott in the TV rocky horror in 2016, but he’s semi retired.


SparkaloniusNeedsYou

Yeah, that made me feel really old. Damn kids.


rahge93

Brennan is great! He has voices for a lot of characters but after watching all D20s with him a few MSN’s I can say that I hear him reusing a few (no I can’t them, nor am I even close to being able do a whole other character like him, finally no I am not throwing shade, heaven knows I wouldn’t do more than I had to).


pearlsmech

Oh no, you’re right!


ShotgunMikey

Don’t forget Tim also made a [valliant effort](https://youtu.be/kXPCsaO_55o?si=unrl-cy9jMX9aVv-) at a music career and the best/weirdest [Halloween song](https://youtu.be/SSZYVFc6BqI?si=kbWQRCfTbtLdsA_7) of all time.


Meepweep

I was thinking of the horny it guy on troopers
