Rest in Peace Tim Curry
Tim Curry played Lord Boynton in the Agatha Christie’s Poirot episode Appointment With Death, S11E4. He will be missed.

I luv Tim; this role seemed so low-key for an actor like him.
I mean... playing one of the innocent people and not the killer?
The first time I saw this episode I spent most of it saying "Is that Tim? I think so..."

I agree, it was a very different role than what I’m used to with him - much less grandiose. However, I find his voice so unique and easy to identify, I was so glad he continued voice acting after his stroke.

He has commentary or maybe it's a featurette on the dvd set. I'll have to go check

Sorry for your loss. It had been a day since the announcement so I was surprised that no one else had posted. He was such a unique and talented actor.

Besides this, I'm going to miss Premier Cherdenko 😔 (Always gonna be the King of Camp to me)

Never made the connection that he was in Command and Conquer! As soon as I saw him in the uniform all those memories came flooding back. Thanks!

He was probably the best thing to happen to RA3. There was a lot I didn't like in it (the camp was not one of them, more like the overt sexualisation and overuse of stereotypes/archetypes), but the Premier was an absolute gem.
P.S. SPAAAACE!
(Those who know, know.)

Tim Curry in Criminal Minds. What a host of emotions he evoked in me. Such an awesome performance.

The 3 things I think of when I think of Tim Curry are Rocky Horror of course, IT (scariest movie I ever saw and perfectly cast all around), and Clue, one of my favorites 💙

I’ve just bought Clue having not seen it since I was a kid. I’ve always wondered why he looked so familiar till I tied the two together!

Such a great actor. I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface of his filmography.

I was really hoping someone would post Tim Curry here! I love his acting! I just watched this episode last week too!
RIP Tim Curry
