Timothy James Curry (born April 19, 1946 in Grappenhall, a district of the town Warrington, Cheshire, England) is an English actor, singer and composer perhaps best known for his role as mad scientist Dr. Frank N. Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). He also had an earlier career as a rock musician. He studied Drama and English at Birmingham and then at Cambridge. His list of roles is extensive, in both TV and movies, live-action and voice-acting for animated features, and it is notable that he almost always plays a villain of one kind or another. He currently resides in Los Angeles, though for the past year or so has been in Chicago, New York and most recently London, with the current Broadway hit Monty Python's Spamalot.

Early life

---

Tim Curry's father, James, was a Methodist chaplain for the British Navy, though Curry himself says he was always a "cheerful agnostic," and remains so to this day. Upon his father's death in 1958, Curry relocated to South London, where he attended a boarding school founded by John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. The school was "quite liberal," and though he didn't enjoy the religious aspect especially he did enjoy the vast number of hymns available. There, he developed into a talented boy soprano. When his voice broke, his music teacher encouraged him to develop a mature singing voice.

When he was 19, he began his studies at the University of Birmingham, where he also acted with the renowned Guild Theatre Group, completing a joint honours in English and Drama before moving on to study at the University of Cambridge.
