He is known for working in a diverse range of theatre, film, and television, most often portraying villainous characters. Curry rose to prominence with his portrayal of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), reprising the role he had originated in the 1973 London and the 1974 Los Angeles stage productions of The Rocky Horror Show. His other stage work includes various roles in the original West End production of Hair, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the 1980 Broadway production of Amadeus, the Pirate King in the 1982 West End production of The Pirates of Penzance, Alan Swann in the Broadway production of My Favourite Year, and King Arthur in Broadway and West End productions of Spamalot from 2005 to 2007.

His roles in animation include Captain Hook on the Fox series Peter Pan & the Pirates (1990–1991), Hexxus in the fantasy film FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992), Sir Nigel Thornberry on the Nickelodeon series The Wild Thornberrys (1998–2004) and Palpatine on Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2013–2014).
We all know It, and we all know Welcome to Derry. All the work that the Argentinian Andy Muschietti has done with the franchise will be forever etched in the minds of future generations, and that's why today, after a long break, I've returned with another reimagining of this story. This time, the fancast you're about to see is a "what if" scenario: what would have happened if the Welcome to Derry series were a prequel to the classic 1990 miniseries starring Tim Curry as the clown who terrified a whole generation? Based on the logic of the films and series and their alteration of events, this series would be set in Derry in 1933, and would follow the events that occurred 27 years before the 1990 miniseries starring Tim Curry, focusing on the Blackspot fire and including elements from the series we recently saw in 2025.
