Tim Curry Merges With the Infinite

Actor of stage and screen, Tim Curry, has passed.  

Curry had been ailing for some time, having experienced a stroke in 2012.  

For the last fifty years, Curry has built generations of fans with diverse roles from The Rocky Horror Picture Show to The Hunt for Red October to Muppet Treasure Island to Clue.   I think I first saw him as Rooster in Annie, when it was in theaters back in the day.  And I very much enjoyed him in movies like The Shadow and The Three Musketeers and plenty of others.  

He has an insane IMDB listing as he was not shy about taking voice work (I really didn't know til now how many voices he'd done).  He may have also been in a few less than amazing movies, and respect.  The man was working.  He was also acting on a whole different level than everyone else in the small indie movie The Scoundrel's Wife I watched last year.

If social media tells me anything, there's some key roles here that people really remember, and that's pretty great.  The man was beloved, and I think he knew it.  I hope so.
