Hollywood Actor Tim Curry And The Mystery Of The Game Boy He Was "Furious" To Lose
The last few weeks have seen the passing of many famous celebrities, including, notably, the legendary actor, voice actor, and musician Tim Curry, who passed away last month at the age of 80.
Initially rising to fame for his role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show stage show, Curry would go on to have a tremendous career, both on stage and screen, famously appearing in the 1975 film adaptation of the musical, before landing memorable roles in a range of productions such as Legend (1985), Clue (1985), It (1990), Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992), The Three Musketeers (1993), and Muppet Treasure Island (1996).
As we covered upon his passing, though, his work wasn't just limited to film, TV, or theatre, with the actor also famously providing performances for several video games throughout his career.
While working on The Three Musketeers, Curry was famously pictured with a Game Boy, suggesting he was something of a gamer himself in his spare time. This was supposedly backed up by an interview he did with PC Format in July 1995, where he stated he was "never without his Game Boy," claiming that he was "furious" when somebody stole it.
