Timothy James Curry (born April 19, 1946 in Grappenhall, a district of Warrington, England) is an English actor, vocalist and composer perhaps best known for his role as mad scientist Dr. Frank N. Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). He also had a later career as a rock musician. He studied Drama and English at Birmingham and then at Cambridge. His list of roles is extremely extensive, in both TV and movies, live-action and voice-acting for animated features, and it is notable that he almost always plays a villain of one kind or another. He currently resides in Los Angeles, though for the past year or so has been in Chicago and New York with the current Broadway hit Monty Python’s Spamalot.

In 1978, A&M Records released Tim Curry’s debut solo album. Entitled Read My Lips, the album featured an eclectic range of songs (mostly covers) performed in diverse genre. Highlights of the album are a reggae version of the Beatles song “I Will”, a rendition of “Wake Nicodemus” with full bagpipe backing, and an original bar-room ballad, “Alan”.

The following year, Curry’s second and most successful album was released. Titled Fearless, the LP was more rock-oriented than Read My Lips and mostly featured original songs rather than cover versions. The record included Tim Curry’s only US charting songs: “I Do the Rock” and “Paradise Garage”.

oh yeah, sexier with AGE? like in Home Alone 2 and clue (as the infamous butler/concierge archetype). And these aren't even recent. Sorry, just had to be the voice of reason and not utter bullshit/fanaticism/respect/whatever.

When I got to see him preform live in Chicago during his run on Spamalot, it was the best b-day ever.

It's really just unthinkable that someone could be so motherfucking sexy. I mean, one's Tim Curry intake should be monitored, in all seriousness. It could be hazardous. Picture it... enjoying some Paradise Garage in your car, on your way to work and as he lets out that perfectly defined howl... BAM! You rear-end the guy in front of you and your unknowingly faulty airbags don't deploy, leaving you as part of your windshield. All because of this bastard's ridiculously sexy self. I'm just sayin'.
