Today on the subway ride home, Will and I found ourselves discussing the illustrious career of Tim Curry. Although we knew he’d been in a million things, we had trouble coming up with the specifics.
A quick IMDB search gave us the specifics we were looking for, but more importantly, revealed the fact that Tim Curry has the most incredible list of character names ever. Its like what you would get if you asked a room full of 11 year old nerds to write down the names of their imaginary friends.
A sampling:
Stubbings
Nigel St. Nigel
Professor Finbarr Calamitous
Dale ‘The Whale’ Biederbec
Slagar the Cruel
Edward Whatsett St. John
Thaddeos E. Klan
Lazlo Gigahurtz
Dr. Mystico
Lord Dragaunus
Nostros, the eldest elf
King Acorn
Atom Ed, the Floating Head
George Herbert Walker ‘King’ Chicken
