He was the oh so smarmily, charmingly, evil Cardinal Richelieu in the Three Musketeers for me.

For me, it was Hexxus in "Ferngully, the last Rainforest".
Both him and Robin Williams gave amazing performances for an animated movie for kids.
To this day, whenever I stumble or trip and fall, I still catch myself saying "Gravity works", or when I touch something disgusting, I'll end up singing "Slime beneath me, ooh, slime up above!"
Toxic Love plays randomly in my head to this day. Right now it's that and Jolene going back and forth which is an interesting contrast.
"I'm going to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism! SPACE!"
I just love when actors are clearly having a great time in their role. It makes me happy. RIP Tim Curry, truly we lost a good one.
Nigel Thornberry from The Wild Thornberrys
But more iconically from Rocky Horror.
I primarily knew him from Muppet Treasure Island.
I just watched it (for the thirtieth time) in his honor.
Legend for me, but not until a few years after it's home video release. My parents got it after Willow was a hit with me, and... well...
Mr. Hector (the concierge) in Home Alone 2: Lost In New York (1992)
I can't even remember. Probably the Muppets. I did know of him before he was ever in Command & Conquer, tho. IIRC, Clue is older than C&C too. Came out the same year I was born.
He was so prolific throughout my childhood that it's hard to even think of just one. IT, Clue, The Three Musketeers, Congo....
first saw him in Clue but that doesnt show my age, i first saw it about ten years ago lol
Ron Gilbert, what a legend. If you haven't played Thimbleweed Park you've been missing out.
I didn't know it was Tim Curry, but I'm pretty sure that his performance that I saw was in "Legend". Then most likely IT.
I don't didn't I played enough Wing Commander III (also feat. Mark Hamill, John Davies Rhys and other known actors, absolutely stacked for its time) to have met the character that Tim Curry voiced there, but I for sure played enough Toonstruck to have heard his acting there! Also an amazing game which features Christopher Lloyd.
I know him as Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island... What age does that make me?
Welcome to Toonstruck! Mwahahaha
TRHPS, but when I was younger he was the absolutely incredible Lord of Darkness in Legend. Also, Meg Mucklebones (swamp creature) was Robert Picardo, another fantastic job. The baddies in Legend were the best part of it.
He absolutely traumatized me in IT when I was 8 years old, lol. Was scared of clowns for over a decade, until my boyfriend made me watch IT with him in our dorm room in 2010. I immediately had my fear of clowns cured because Tim Curry's Pennywise is absolutely hilarious.

He had one of the most fun and interesting acting careers. So many crazy movies. Always a joy. He's missed and I hope he passed surrounded by loved ones<3
Tim Curry was my first crush when I saw him playing a pirate in Muppet Treasure Island
