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.
