I love me some Tim Curry and it breaks my heart to see him like this but I’m just glad he’s still with us. He actually played the narrator in the Rocky Horror remake and killed it of course

Aww I’ve always thought Tim Curry was such a great actor. Sad to hear this, but glad to see he’s still with us. My intro to him was as Rooster in Annie.

That’s messed up, he’s such a talent.

I think he still does voice overs sometimes, he still sounds the same.

ETA:


I hope he continues with this, I would love to hear him in something. He’s like Patrick Stewart, he’s got the kind of voice that would making him an amazing voice actor.

I remember hearing about this a few years ago (probably here). It surprised me.

Same here, but I came across a picture of him in a wheelchair and thought WTF?? because I had no idea he had had a stroke, so it was just shocking and jarring seeing him like that.

Experienced a similar feeling again when I saw a recent picture of Teri Garr.

Due to a stroke from several years ago. He has been out of the spotlight for some time, but occasionally does appearances, and is still receptive and appreciative of his fanbase.

When the illuminati grants you a lifetime of fame and riches it doesn’t come without a twist at the end. I had no clue he was wheelchair bound. I guess he’s paying his dues.

That is a shame. He was an amazing actor who was a special effect all by himself when he played Pennywise and The Devil in that terrible Tom Cruise movie not to mention Rocky Horror
Yes a true character actor. Mfer would smile and you just knew someone was about to die!! I love his creepy ass since I was a kid. Some folks you just know about to bring it and he is one. I didn't know this and it's making me sad. Life is so fragile and allat. He seems to be in good spirits which is important. Damn y'all. And we complaining about being hairy and nonsense.....

I'm so sorry to hear this. Tim Curry has had so many iconic roles. My favourite was him playing Pennywise. To this day, he is Pennywise and my favourite one. I wondered what happened to him, but just figured since he had gotten older he just took a step back. I had no idea he suffered a stroke and became paralyzed and wheelchair bound. :( All the best to Mr. Curry. He will always have a special place in my heart.

Such a shame. I really hoped he would pull through and work again. He is such a great talent.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear this. I read that he's a really nice guy too.

I remember him from Stephen King's IT and Home Alone 2.

Wow reading this thread just made me realize how talented this man is. He played so many different characters and they were so different you forget it’s the same actor.

Man I hope he continues to stay as healthy as he can.

I just watched Legend over the weekend. I was amazed at the makeup job they did on him. I went to look at what he is was up to and saw pictures of him, I hadn’t realized he had some medical issues.

Tim Curry is the low key reason 1) I’m afraid of spiders and couldn’t look under my bed for years. YEARS.

I first saw him in the movie version of Annie, and then different things here and there over the years. Love me some Tim Curry.

Had no idea thanks for sharing. His Psych guest appearance in Season 2 is classic. He plays an "American Idol" judge so over the top. Also loved him as Dale the Whale in Monk.
I thought about that episode the other day. When he got to say what he really thought of them, I screamed. It was such a good read, haha.

"You two howler monkeys..." was the best line from that episode.

He would have killed the role of Joker for Batman in his day. I hope they celebrate him soon at an award show because he is an actor that you may not know his name but he makes all of his characters unforgettable.
He was up for doing the voice of Joker for the animated series, but didn't get it because he apparently sounded too scary, which I would love to hear.

That really sucks. He was so awesome as the Grinch.

One of the greatest actors of our time, his smile is everything.
