** He also played KingArthur in the original Broadway cast of ''Theatre/{{Spamalot}}''.

Timothy James Curry (born April 19, 1946, in Grappenhall, England) is an English actor. With a handful of exceptions, [[TypeCasting every]] character he's ever played is a) evil, b) [[ChronicallyKilledActor dead by the end of the film]], or c) both. Has played {{Satan}} a couple of times, most spectacularly in Creator/RidleyScott's ''Film/{{Legend 1985}}''. (And he topped even ''that'' with [[MonsterClown Pennywise the Dancing Clown]] in the TV miniseries ''Film/It1990''.) And it'd probably be easier to list the cartoons that he ''hasn't'' voiced a villain in.

* CheshireCatGrin: Often gives one of these to show when a character he plays is up to something devious. Interestingly enough, one of his nicknames is "Cheshire Cat". This has become greatly downplayed nowadays as the facial paralysis resulting from his near-fatal stroke has made it harder for him to appear more lively.

* MoneyDearBoy: Much like Creator/ChristopherLee, Mr. Curry isn't particularly picky about the roles he plays, especially in cartoons, as he's been in ''hundreds'' of them. While he usually plays the roles quite well, a great many of these features are not well known for being very good.

Timothy James Curry (born April 19, 1946 in Grappenhall, England) is an English actor. With a handful of exceptions, [[TypeCasting every]] character he's ever played is a) evil, b) [[ChronicallyKilledActor dead by the end of the film]], or c) both.

(And he topped even ''that'' with [[MonsterClown Pennywise the Dancing Clown]] in the TV miniseries ''Film/It1990''.) And it'd probably be easier to list the cartoons that he ''hasn't'' voiced a character in.

Tim Curry has also done extensive voice work for video games; a memorable (live action) role is as Premier Anatoly Cherdenko in ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3'', in which he once again plays a Magnificent Evil Deadpan Snarking Bastard... but strangely not a British one, though it doesn't make the role any less effective or awesome.

His voice is rather distinctive in the animation roles he's performed, but not always. ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' fans might be surprised to learn that the Spanish ([[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent or is it Russian]]?) accented Taurus Bulba is actually Curry. Nor does his role as Zimbo (the one-legged fly who is often seen around the Snorch) on ''Ahhh! Real Monsters'', which he, according to an interview, based on an "Argentinian gigolo".

* IWasQuiteALooker: Compare the page image to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua0aCmnX0YQ this video of him]] in the MadeForTVMovie of ''Literature/TheWorstWitch'' from the 80's. Yes, that's the same guy. Reportedly, the reason why he let himself go in later years was to try distancing himself from [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Dr. Frank N. Furter]] in the public eye, due to a combination of CreatorBacklash and being constantly stalked by fans of the character.
* StalkerWithACrush: Not Tim himself, but rather his fans. In fact, it's the main reason why he was so reluctant to talk about being in ''Rocky Horror'' for so long. This is probably also why he has never discussed or shared details about his personal life.

* LargeHam: Often overlapping with EvilIsHammy.

** In ''Series/CriminalMinds'' his depiction of Billy Flynn, a prolific SerialKiller. While he's villainous, he's also unpleasant, uneducated, kind of stupid, slovenly, thoroughly repulsive and ''[[NightmareFuel utterly terrifying]]'', with none of the EvilIsCool or EvilIsSexy aspects usually present in Tim Curry villains.
** In a case of CrossDressingVoices, he plays Auntie Whisphers in WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall, a low-key CreepyMonotone governess who keeps her charge Lorna constantly at work [[spoiler: in order to prevent the [[ImAHumanitarian man-eating]] [[DemonicPossession evil spirit possessing]] Lorna from killing again.]]
