Tim Curry on Frank N Furter 👄

In 1975, Film Night went behind the scenes at the filming of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, based on Richard O'Brien's cult stage musical.

People don't realize that Tim Curry played this character in the theater production for years and years and years before the movie.

Never realised Tim was so posh. Lol. He was gorgeous.

I think I've figured out why his character was so mesmerizing. He played his character with such abandon. The character was unabashadly unaware that he was different from the people around him and he seems to revel in his very existence! He definitely was able to capture all of the intricacies of both sexes equally! I loved it!

A school friend thought young Tim Curry was " just about the yummiest thing alive"...and because she was crushing so hard she broke up with her jock boyfriend, an 18 year old jerk who thought she should marry him instead of going to college. Though he, of course, was definitely going to college.
She went on to get two degrees and has a great career. Thanks, Tim Curry!

He was fantastic in this, so strangely sexy

[ColdDaveball]

One of the most ICONIC movie performances ever! The movie is over 45 years old and people will still be in awe with his role in another 45

NO ONE could've played FrankenFurter better than Tim Curry!!❤

The hand gesture comment was so insightful. Not all actors recognize the differences in how to portray the same scene in different formats such as stage drama, stage musical, wide format film, and small format television. His awareness of this so early in his career allowed him to be successful in nearly all of his endeavors at a time when there used to be strict delineations between West Coast vs East Coast, Film vs TV, and NYC stage vs Hollywood. It's great that he has even been able to transition into voice work to stay active in the industry. 🥰

I Was there at the premiere Roxy 1975 Still gives me a grin. The whole cast was mind blowing. Tim nearly slid into our table gave us a wink and didn't miss a beat.

Didn't realize how fine he was back in his prime 😍😍

[michealclark]

Tim is one of the greatest character actors of all time.

Tim Curry was made to be FrankenFurter...the perfect look, build, moxie, and talent to pull this off...BEAUTIFULLY

[Morganjames]

I was 9 when my big sister shocked the hell out of my mother by renting this for us. While my mom was having a heart attack and my sister was dying laughing I was falling in love with the movie and Tim Curry. Thanks big sis, for being an absolute smart ass and introducing me to the art of theater. What an absolute work of mastery. Tim, you are fantastic and yes, you were fine as hell!! Cheers!!! If you haven't seen it, watch it you won't regret it. 😉 It's just FUN.

Tim Curry is one of the most underrated british actors, but he's probably one of the most versatile talented star...

[nanetteroeland]

The man played this part with such genius he should be knighted.

[dazem]

Tim is a very special man... so talented, eloquent and devilishly funny. RHPS would not be as iconic without him.

[feameldo]

He plays it so freely, so unhingedly, totally without any shame and uneasiness! Having once tried amateur theater, I know how hard is that to achieve even with a tame role, but he nails THIS...!!!
One hell of an actor, talented, sexy, beautiful...

[VanessaRuinzi]

Ooo I love how he speaks when he's not acting. Like a dove. The medical issues he's endured over the years is heartbreaking. Such a talented actor and brilliant man, and he's so good to his fans.

[ivanahugankiss]

Long time Tim Curry fan here!!! He is an extremely talented actor, he's fantastic at every role he plays!
