Tim Curry is a great actor. It's a shame that he's now largely immobile from a major stroke. But he's still active on social media and gracious with his fans.
@Timber Rattler Well,he ain't exactly a puppy,and Father Time has ZERO respect for all of us.
It is to his benefit that he did great things while he was younger,and will be remembered for them for a LONG time,given that video never dies.
His performances in The Rocky Horror Picture Show should have earned him a spot for all of eternity. The Criminal Minds performances are just icing on the cake.
I may be wrong,but I can't think of one single movie or tv show where one actor performed at a level where it is still being played to live audiences,and the audiences are showing up and singing and dancing along with the actions in the movie.
He deserves a prime slot in the Hollywood Hall of Fame (if there is such a thing) for "Rocky Horror" alone. I can remember when it was first showing,and just driving around the block where the theater was to see the audience members in line and dressed like the actors. Rocky Horror was definitely an "audience participation film" from day one. MAYBE even the only one.
BTW,"Meatloaf" should be honorable mention,too.
