All Things:Character Actors

I'm either way behind or this was kept on the down low, but I just found out that Tim Curry had a stroke.
He's getting better, and was honored at the Tony Awards last night.

It was reported quietly, he has since been out of the public eye. If it is any consolation, my uncle worked on Hunt for the Red October and said that in all his years in the studio, Tim Curry was one of the nicest gentlemen he ever worked with. Always talked about getting home and tending to his garden.
 
Would have loved to see him in Spam-a-lot. That would've been fun. From the shape he looks in it probably isn't in the offing again to see him on stage. But I would love to see him out there again!

"My horse had a habit, when I brought it to a stop, of lifting its front legs up," he said. "On my last day, I brought it to a stop but slid off the back … I looked up and saw that this horse, which weighed half a ton, had lost its balance and was going to fall directly on me."

"It fell on my chest and pelvis. If it had landed any further up, it would have killed me. It broke my pelvis in six places, two ribs and ripped a tendon in my arm," he explained.

"I always imagined that my last thoughts would be somehow profound, but what went through my mind was, “Distinguished actor killed by horse’s arse,'" he said.
