Rocky Horror Picture Show Credits (Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter)

Born: As Timothy James Curry on April 19th, 1946 in Grappenhall, Cheshire, England.

Tim Curry is synonymous with Rocky Horror, for many people. He originated the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter on stage in the Original London Cast of The Rocky Horror Show. When the play was first produced in the U.S. at the Roxy Theater in Los Angeles, Tim Curry was the only original cast member to reprise his role there as well as on Broadway in its short-lived run at the Belasco Theater. He then made his famous film debut as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). This helped greatly to launch Tim Curry's career, and he has since gone on to become a widely acclaimed actor and singer on both stage and screen.

As near as we can tell, someone in the mid-80s had access to a video editing machine with a number of different effects and was determined to use EVERY SINGLE ONE of them in this segment. Very trippy!
