From his breakout role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in \u003cem\u003eThe Rocky Horror Picture Show\u003c\/em\u003e to his iconic depiction as the sadistic clown Pennywise in \u003cem\u003eIt\u003c\/em\u003e to his critically acclaimed role as the original King Arthur in both the Broadway and West End versions of \u003cem\u003eSpamalot\u003c\/em\u003e, Curry redefined what it meant to be a \"character actor,\" portraying heroes and villains alike with complexity, nuance, and a genuine understanding of human darkness. He’s had dozens of roles across movies, TV shows, and musicals; lent his instantly recognizable voice to dozens of voice roles, audiobooks, and videogames; and he’s changed the lives of countless fans in the process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, in his memoir, Curry takes readers behind-the-scenes of his rise to fame from his early beginnings as a military BRAT with difficult family dynamics, to his formative years in boarding school and university, to the moment when he hit the stage for the first time. He goes in-depth about what it was like to work on some of the most emblematic works of the 20th century, constantly switching between a camera and a live audience. He also explores the voicework that defined his later career and provided him with a chance to pivot after surviving a catastrophic stroke in 2012 that nearly took his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the 50th anniversary of\u003cem\u003e The Rocky Horror Picture Show\u003c\/em\u003e and the 40th anniversary of \u003cem\u003eClue\u003c\/em\u003e, there’s never been a better time for Tim to share his story with the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tim Curry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67958021062808,"sku":"9781804950227","price":30.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/5193\/1032\/files\/Tim-Curry-Vagabond-Mrs-Blackwell-s-Village-Bookshop-Greytown-NZ.jpg?v=1794270064","url":"https:\/\/villagebookshop.co.nz\/products\/vagabond","provider":"Mrs Blackwell's Village Bookshop Greytown","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
