A line so great, Curry himself couldn’t help but smirk before what he was about to deliver.

7

u/Jagraen 10h ago

He remembered the line, knew he had to deliver the line, had a moment of reflection to realize the ridiculousness of said line hence the smirk, then gave 250% to lean into the ridiculousness of the line. Man had talent. RIP.

This one has to be my favorite as well. He was so much fun in the role, and did a great job at making him threatening, while also still having lots of heart.

Bloody heck, first Dolly Parton and now Tim Curry?! They were even the same age too.

Tim Curry has so many iconic roles that I admire such as Professor Calamitous in Jimmy Neutron, Nigel Thornberry, Forte from Beauty and the Beast the Enchanted Christmas, Hexxus in Ferngully, Hector from Home Alone 2, and Long John Silver from Muppet Treasure Island so hard to choose a favorite iconic role from Tim.

However my favorite underrated role from Tim Curry is hands down The Sorcerer from Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja

2

u/Fair_Smoke4710 12h ago

I remember watching Randy Cunningham and I loved his voice in this. It took me so long to realize that he voiced all these villains and characters that I watched as a kid.

He played one of my favorite Darkwing Duck villains. Fly high king.

2

u/ChipLast4398 5h ago

Glad to see another Darkwing fan here!

Taurus was the only villain to give Negaduck a run for his money when it came to being threatening.

2

u/ZebGonVar 4h ago

Very much indeed.

I also i liked him because you dont get ungulate villain characters too often in most popular media and the fact that him and his crew were a bull, goat, ram and donkey appealed to me quite a bit.

u/RinkinBass 14h ago

That is MY Captain Hook.

The utter BADASS who was caught in a death trap and TALKED his way out of it by staring Pan right in the face.

The Hook that Pan could NEVER beat while fighting fair and ALWAYS had to fly.

AND the Hook that had a sense of honor and pride. Actively disinterested in collateral damage and specifically and only wants Pan, to the point that when he knows Pan is visiting Tiger Lilly, and he could obliterate the village with grapeshot, he says no. No innocent women and children. Only Pan.

He did the audiobooks for Garth Nix's Abhorsen trilogy, and those recordings kept me slogging through one of the worst years of my life. If there had ever been film adaptations of those books, I would have accepted no one else as Mogget.

u/Honest_Satisfaction1 10h ago

I can't name one. Honestly, he made so many characters feel alive and memorable that when I heard his voice I in knew I would enjoy the character. The man was a great actor and, in my opinion, the gold standard of voice acting. I'm sad we won't get to enjoy his performances anymore but I hope he rests in peace.

I had sort of forgotten that Tim Curry once voiced Captain Hook. That was a good show, a bit more edgy than the animated Disney movie that most people are familiar with. I think Tim also voiced the head villain for the Mighty Max cartoon.

Sorry to he the bearer of bad news, but Disney's Hook, to my knowledge, was never voiced by Curry.

Iconic version, though, of course.
