It's so comforting to know that there are so many people in this world sicker than I am.
-Tim Curry at a Rocky Horror Picture Show convention
In honor of Tim Curry's 60th birthday, I'm inducting him into the Guy Hall of Fame.
I know. I know. How does a guy who played a "Sweet Transvestite" in The Rocky Horror Picture Show make it in a Hall of Fame with such people as Steve McQueen, Bruce Willis and Christopher Walken?
Simple.
Tim Curry rocks.
Three Simple Reasons Tim Should Be Here (see his entire career on IMDb):
- Legend - Best. Lord of Darkness. Ever.
- Clue - This is seriously one of the most underrated comedies out there.
- Muppet Treasure Island - One of the best Long John Silvers ever to grace the screen.
Oh yeah, and then there was It.
Scariest. Clown. Ever.
Other Reasons He Belongs in the Hall of Fame
- He was the second choice of the Joker for Tim Burton's Batman
- He played King Arthur in the Broadway version of Monty Python's "Spamalot"
- He does a lot of voice work on cartoons for Disney & others.
So welcome to the Hall of Fame, Mr. Curry.
And if you don't mind, would you lead us in "The Time Warp"?
