Tim Curry isn’t reprising his role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in Fox’s musical event The Rocky Horror Picture Show, however
he will be returning to the world of Rocky Horror as the narrator. Curry has been confirmed to play the Criminologist Narrator, the role played by Charles Gray in the 1975 feature film.
Curry first originated the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter on stage in 1973 and then reprised the role for the now cult classic film. The new Rocky Horror finds Orange is the New Black‘s Laverne Cox taking on that role.
Commenting on his involvement, Curry said, “I am very happy and excited to be a part of this new event.”
