yep, its only short but I'm think I'm due a short entry

Never mind the length; feel the quality (to paraphrase an Indian carpet seller I once met)

Few tweaks:

Title - I didn't know he was an actor, would 'Tim Curry - Actor' be better?

April 19, 1946 - 19 April, 1946

another 6 months - another six months

He describes the roles that he took on as characters that either knew too little or knew too much. - is that a quote? If so: He describes the roles that he took on as 'characters that either knew too little or knew too much'.

corset and fish nets - fishnets

>>Never mind the length; feel the quality

reminds me of a converation I had with my girlfriend ....

Actually, Jon, I was waiting for Roymondo to appear with some kind of smut - I thought that sort of thing was below you

updated and added some links

Looks good to me, Jon!

Now all we need is for everyone else to forget about this for a couple of months again, so I can recommend it

have to visit the dentist to get the chewed up scenery removed from there teeth
=
their teeth

others like Tim Curry become the go to guy for quirky villains.

compile a large portfolio of voice over work

voice-over work

<> Why ill-fated? I remember that and I enjoyed it,

I like your links to all the h2g2 entries but I'm surprised there's no link to Tim's IMDb listing: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000347/ which you can chuck in the references tag, it won't untidy your entry, I promise

Herkermer HomolkaHe won a Razzie nomination for this.
When I mentioned Razzies in a recent entry of mine a reviewer asked me to provide an explanation for 'Razzies' - I know what they are but a link to the Golden Raspberry site http://www.razzies.com might help those who don't
I really should finish that entry I started

Since the Spamalot part is the bit that interests me, and that the one that I actually know anything about, maybe change it around a bit.

Change 2004 to 2005, as that was when it opened on Bway... Or maybe 2004-05(06?) to whenever his contract was up.

Change 'play' to 'musical'

A link to the King Arthur entry? A519491

altered / updated / whatever

Good entry I adore Tim Curry!

One or a few typos etc...

Under life before the corset

This was here his sister was born. --> This was 'where' (or It was here)

Because he moved around a lot -->I'm not entirely happy with sentences beginning with Because

until his voice dropped -->not broke?

most of his times acting --> time

to blag his was into --> way


Under Just a sweet transvestite

After staring on the London stage he took the starred in the Los Angeles --> after 'starring' on the London Stage he took and starred in the productions in Los Angeles...

He took his on tour --> took his what, dog? cat? presumably music

is his epically evil -->especially

As well as The Rocky Horror Show has played been in the cast --> remove the been or the played

Might it not be worth mentioning his portrayal of the devil in Legend?

see post 10 !!

Needs a short footnote explaining what an Equity Card is. Otherwise it's good - the bit about scenery being removed from teeth made me laugh

changed

I've enjoyed Tim Curry's work since RHPS, I'd love to see him on stage, I bet he's spectacular!

Some klunky wordings still in there:

There are some actors who are believe that they can portray... >> remove 'are'

After starring on the London stage he took the starred in the Los Angeles and Broadway runs of the show. >> I know this was mentioned before, but it still doesn't read right to me.

For film students wanting to study scenery chewing bad guys should watch... >> drop 'for', also should be 'scenery-chewing'

As well as The Rocky Horror Show has been in the cast... >> add a 'he' before 'has been in...'

Looks fab!

Interesting entry about an interesting actor and singer.
I'm not sure why you call him a ham actor in the first paragraph, though, and the go on and praise him for the rest of the entry, it doesn't seem to fir somehow
Didn't he star as the clown Pennywise it Stephen King's 'It' ?

I'm having problems with my typing, sorry, that should be then go on, and fit, not fir

B'Elena beat me to it

I loved the piece but couldn't believe there was no reference to "It" or the biggest commercial success he was involved in - "Home Alone".

Other than that - great

Are you happy with this now Jon?
