He is best known for his roles as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in “Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “Annie,” “Clue,” and “It.”

As a horror lover, Tim Curry scared me in the best way. As a theater kid, I wanted to be Tim Curry. I wanted to play the most bizarre, larger than life roles just like him.
When I applied to AMDA, I had to write a paper about the performer who inspired me most, I chose Tim Curry.…

Rest in peace to Tim Curry. He had such a legacy of work. He worked with @ginacarano back in 2008 in live-action cutscenes for ‘Command & Conquer Red Alert 3’ which went on to sale millions of copies worldwide on various gaming consoles. Home Alone was a standout.

A legend. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/5MbyCUn4s8

RIP Tim Curry. Another legend gone. He was great as Pennywise in It. Great in Clue. Great in the Rocky Horror picture show. Great as the voice of Hook in Peter Pan. Great in all that he did. A gem of a talent and actor. pic.twitter.com/khokjZCnDs
