Tim Curry is one of the most unique motherfuckers that's ever graced this planet that's for sure.

Did you know Tim Curry was the original choice for Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? The screen tests showed he was too scary and they went looking for another actor, eventually settling on Christopher Lloyd because the director had worked with him on BttF.

I've always heard that exact story except with his time as the joker? That he was supposedly too scary for that.

That's cheating. Tim Curry is a toon in real life.

To be fair, so is Christopher Lloyd. Just a different sort of cartoon.

Robin Williams almost refused to do this film unless they let him have the batty rap. Part of it was he had just been shafted by Disney breaking contract terms and selling The Genie merch from Aladdin despite him being vehemently against it.
