Tim Curry Tributes Pour in From Co-Stars Carol Burnett, Rob Schneider, Michael McKean, More

Tributes for Tim Curry began to pour in on Wednesday following news of the actor’s death on Tuesday night at the age of 80 .

Curry — who was best known for roles like Frank-N-Furter in the cult-classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show , the butler Wadsworth in Clue , and the smarmy Rooster in Annie — was fondly remembered by his former co-stars.

Comedian Rob Schneider , who starred alongside Curry’s uptight Plaza Hotel manager character in Home Alone 2 : Lost in New York , said he was “gutted” by the news of Curry’s death.

“The sensational character actor, Tim Curry has left the stage,” Schneider wrote on X . “A truly gifted performer of stage and screen, his one eyebrow could say more than most actors entire bodies. I am grateful to have the rare gift of watching him work, he made you better just standing near him.”

Carol Burnett shared a clip from their time on Annie , writing that “nobody could play lovable villains better than he could. He was a dear friend. I was blessed to know him.”

Clue co-star Michael McKean said his most recent conversation with Curry was “about life and love and laughter.” Referring to a stroke Curry suffered in 2012, McKean added that the “grim physical state he found himself in has now ended, a blessing. Our blessing was that we had Tim Curry in our lives. RIP, my friend.”
