Big facts

This is the one I was looking for in this thread… 👍🏽

His role as “Darkness” in “Legend,” No CGI, just 10,000 pounds of Makeup and Prosthetics and amazingly creepy acting!

@crocketthoughton.com One of his best roles ever was the Archchancellor of Unseen University.

How the hell did I not know he was Nigel Thornberry

So good

Jump scare but quickly reassured.

Love him

80 years old !!!!!

don't scare me like that

Never seen anyone utter an unkind word about him and thousands of people naming him an icon for at least a half dozen completely different roles, what a great body of work

Yesssss

Not gonna lie this post scared me in the beginning

Hunt for Red October 🥼❤️

OMG, we went to several midnight Rocky Horror Picture Show viewings in the mid-70's in Florida. That is the movie I will always remember him for. DH and I know ALL of the songs, of course. We saw it again on a cruise ship last summer as we were crossing the North Pacific from Japan to Seattle.

What a great post! Love all the pics! ❤️

Tim, as Dr Pool, in “Oscar” with Sly Stallone

I never realized how much he looks like his parents are Maggie Smith and Jim Parsons

wait Tim Curry was the voice of Nigel Thornberry HOW did I not know this

I love Tim Curry! 🥰🤩

An actor who both takes all the notes and does all the homework.

And let's not forget Doctor Thornton Poole, linguistics expert! "Listen, Doc. I'd like to talk to you about a little difficulty my daughter's having." "Really? She seems to have such nicely rounded dipthongs!" "That's what got her into this jam..." 😆

Classic.

I have found over the years that women I am attracted to either grew up reading Tank Girl or are sexually attracted to Darkness.

"Wilderness girls!" is forever running through my head.

Genius

Oh thank god, with all these Tim Curry posts I was worried he died!

GOAT of all GOATs

Bro missed the most important one

I came here to make this comment

That's the one.

For reference: youtu.be/du3L7iSEbI4?...

I’d never heard him read this. It’s beautiful. Thank you for the link!

Tim Curry was Nigel Thornberry!?

Hexxus not in this image... 😒

How dare you leave off this one

Watch Clue last night. He’s truly perfect in every way.

He's always been one of my favorite villains! Not that he can't play anything else, he can. He does smarmy especially well, too. Definitely has a wide spectrum of talent.

Hexxus! youtu.be/hr4knvNNgtU?...

“was it not you who trapped the unicorn? even now the evil seed of what you’ve done *GERMINATES* within you”

He was Nigel Thornberry?! That’s cool.

It had to be done

Don't tell anyone, but there's a copy of City Sugar on YouTube youtu.be/_l7QyShR5G8

And knocks them out of the park every time!

Agreed. All points.

I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism... SPACE!

He's the Babe Ruth of crazy swings. If you trade him your team will be cursed.

He narrated the audiobooks for the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix. Does he do a kitty cat voice? You bet your sweet bippy he does

Is this Worst Witch erasure??

He was also the first voice of The Joker on Batman the Animated Series. He was replaced by Mark Hamill.

Oh hell yes. The only guy I know of that could get away with actually chewing the scenery.

Don't tell anyone (or tell everyone because it's true) I agree with you.

That feels to me like painting with a too-wide brush

Omg he stole this movie

"Outlandish costumes... plenty of scenery to chew... where do I sign?"

When he did villains, he would channel his mother's anger in order to be scary enough.

If you haven't heard this audio book read by Tim Curry, do yourself a favor and find it. a.co/d/0cHIToRU

I did not know Tim Curry was Nigel Thornberry

You forgot one of the best ones:

Nigel Thornberry hell yeah

Has anyone mentioned him as King Arthur in Spamalot on Broadway?

Gotta listen to sloe gin now.

Underappreciated, this

Happy Birthday, Tim Curry! 🎉💐♥️💐🎉

@alldayhell.bsky.social

I'd forgotten he was Rooster in Annie!

😂😂😂🙏🏻

I think I first noticed him on Earth 2 in '94?

And never struck out. Not once.

I didn't know either - it looks like it must be this... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_S...

It would have been much cooler if they had some of his DJ banter included between tracks, but I do love the music.

Thanks!

My first was Pennywise. Traumatised me for years. Watched a trailer for IT as an adult and he just looks like he’s having so. Much. Fun.

Jack Nicholson's range compared to this:

I hope he’s having a wonderful birthday.

80!

Dr Poole. Dr Poole?! :DDD HELLO???

the face of a man who loves his job

It sounded like a Gilbert & Sullivan pattern song. Tim could have been great in "The Pirates of Penzance"!

Amazing

🙏🏻

"VILL-dah-ness Girls!" "A little late to be out selling cookies, isn't it?" *nervous side-glance* "Troop leader says we are not meeting our KWO-tah."

I got to see him live in Spamalot!

@crocketthoughton.com YAAAAY!
