He thinks Vinnie Vega does a good two-step Time Warp
Tim Curry, whose film career continues to thrive, has two thoughts about the role that first brought him fame. One, that John Travolta would be a good choice to fill his role as Dr. Frank N. Furter should “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” be remade. Two, that the role meant everything to him. “I mean, I was living in a one-room apartment in London and then I was sitting at Jack Nicholson’s pool,” Curry said.
