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!"

    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.

    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...

    For me, that would have to be Captain Hook of Peter Pan and the Pirates.

    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....

    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.

    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
