The Rocky Horror Picture Show, It and Legend actor has died aged 80 – we look back at his career

I've never watched Legend. Perhaps I should add it to my viewing bucket list.

I hadn't realised he'd had the stroke back in 2012 which had impacted his health and mobility so much. Which I suppose is because he led a dignified life mostly away from the tabloids and glossies (though a few of his characters would have loved both).

My dad took me to see Legend when I was a kid. Curry scared the hell out of me - but not as badly as Tom Cruise and his horrific acting.

I used to think my favourite Tim Curry film was A Chorus Line (1985) until only recently when I realised the actor I thought was him was in fact Terrence Mann. They do look alike though.
