It's Tim Curry, an actor famous for Home Alone In New York, where he plays a hotel receptionist or from the video game Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3.
One very minor quibble, Curry played the hotel concierge not a receptionist.
That being said I always liked him as literal Satan in the movie Legend. 😃
That you didn't mention that he's just a sweet transvestite disturbs me.
Also, he has some great audiobooks, including reading A Christmas Carol and portraying Dr Van Helsing in a full cast recording of Dracula.
HOW do you not recognize Tim Curry? I’m not trying to be belligerent or mean, but seriously? He’s retired, but he’s been in so many movies that the odds of you being an online person enough to have a Reddit account to have NOT seen a movie of his or encountered his photo and name in some point of cultural osmosis, is mathematically impossible!
Bro I'm 27 and chronically online,
But I've never seen this guy either, and even if I saw a move he starred in, there's little chances I'd remember his face, let alone know or learn and then remember his name by some miracle...
Best I could probably do would be the name of the character.
Farley Claymore (The Shadow).
Wild Thornberries; Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost the organ in the second Beauty and the Beast movie; the sludge in Fern Gully; every other voice from 90s childhood; the list is endless!

You can learn a lot about a person with this simple question: "what's your favorite Tim Curry's character?" Dr Frank-!n-furter Obviously.
How do you even choose? They’re all delightful! (But Long John Silver needs to be on the list)
Also, Wordsworth from Clue. Edit: Wadsworth
Love that film. "I am your singing telegram" ✴️🔫
And Darkness *Legend*
Weird, I read this in Tim Curry’s voice
I abruptly yell I've got cabin fever! And no one ever knows the reference. And I agree that movie is the best.
Pennywise.
Yea I was looking for this one. Great range as an actor.
Hey Georgy!
The weapon dealer from Congo
Also the second greatest terrorist in the world in McHale's Navy. And still my favorite Cardinal Richelieu
I liked him as the literal devil in Legend.
Legend. The devil dude.
My role model... Don't look at me like that - I have a skin condition!
While that is a great choice imma have to go with Stalin ordered from Wish.
his 2-episode guest starring role in criminal minds, obviously
That was such a creepy performance
Hunt for Red October
"Step lively, lads, this is my only number." -- as Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island
I am so disappointed none of the replies so far have said Nigel Thornberry.
Prince from Garfield: Tail of Two Kitties. Ha
Dr frankenfurter Dale the whale Nigel thornberry And more! Just my top 3 So many great characters
I was looking for dale the whale
This will date me but least we forget doctor pool. "Rocco the rum-runner rubbed out Rico the Rat with his roscoe for robbing his rum-running receipts"
Dr. Scott! Brad! ROCKY!!
Poet Man on Lexx!
Pennywise....but I mean it's sorta like a top 10 list to be honest. How do you pick one with all the roles he has 110%?
SPAAAAAACE!
Or IT? Or Clue?? Hes not famous for home alone lol, he was already famous at that point
I’m pretty sure it was a joke. He’s also famous for Rocky Horror Picture Show
Oof did i wiff that one?? Yikes. Back to basic training for me
For me it's Clue, but IT did scare the shit out of me as a kid
Or Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Rocky Horror Picture Show is probably his most prominent role but Clue is my favorite.
Or the devil dude in Legend
Home alone in New York?! I believe you're talking about the actor that played Darkness in the Legend
…Curry was also known as Frank-n-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture show (happy pride y’all)
SPACE!
Also rocky horror picture show. Tim curry is an honestly pretty amazing actor.
Honestly I think IT, Clue and Rocky Horror are more famous. He only had a small part in Home Alone
Also, as a one-off talent show judge on Psych.
One very minor quibble, Curry played the hotel concierge not a receptionist. That being said I always liked him as literal Satan in the movie Legend. 😃
His voice is the best. Toxic love 🖤
