Scenery-chewing is an under-appreciated form of acting, and Tim Curry was the best at it. In life, he seemed to be a person of character. A mensch.

I loved the 1993 “Three Musketeers,” co-starring Curry as Cardinal Richelieu I think it’s my favorite version. And yes I have seen the Richard Lester version and did not care for it.

I was not a huge fan of “Rocky Horror,” not even as a teenager. I saw it once at a midnight showing and enoyed it. I went a second time and fell asleep.
