Yep, last I heard the stroke left him unable to walk so he's confined to a wheelchair. But his mind and voice are still intact and he's doing a lot of voice work.

Underrated in Muppet's Treasure Island.

Edit: He's played a lot of extremely creepy characters, but I can never help but like him. He's got a very charming quality to him.

His drawn out reenactment of "what happened" in Clue is still my favorite Tim Curry moment ever. Absolute brilliance!


Watched Clue last week, and he is so fricking good in the sequence. All the actors are great in that movie, but he stands above easily.

Slip through the crack? Watch Legend. He didn’t slip through any crack.

Was the original choice to voice the Joker in the Batman Animated Series and even recorded some before Mark Hamill took over. He also played Mozart in Amadeus on Broadway before the movie version.


Tim Curry was in 'Amadeus' with McKellen as Salieri...
To have seen that would have been amazing.

I had no idea until maybe 10 years ago he was the demon character in Legend.

one of the best quotes i ever heard was that Curry acted like he was a fellow muppet in Treasure Island and Michael Caine acted like all the muppets were fellow serious actors in Christmas Carol.

And it's a true statement.
