I loved Duckman as a teenager, way before I started listening to Frank Zappa. Hearing Tim in an interview about his part in it, King Chicken, was what made me a fan of his. In an interview he turns frmo his beautiffuly enunciated soft-voice English accent into a Borscht Belt comic without batting an eyelid. King Chicken is always in disguise, so TIm got to play a large variety of characters.



Also starring music by Frank Zappa, voice acting by Dweezil Zappa (son of Frank, Ajax) and Gregg Berger (Abbe Arnaud, as Cornfed)

One of my favourite Tim performances is in Forbidden Fruit. He goes well with garters.

Um ... her name is Regine Poulet? (Or perhaps I heard wrong - was it Reine Poulet, i.e. silly French for 'Queen Chicken')?

I have to say, Tim Curry is unrecognisable here (which is the point, I suppose ... pardonnez-moi).

The idea is you can tell it's him - if you work hard for it.
I keep forgetting how much of his work pops up now. If you have a bit more time, I can recommend Three Men In A Boat, one of his earlier films.


'Course we can't forget the man's biggest hit I Do The Rock. Couldn't find the Zucchini song on short notice tho.

Looks like I'm back into Tim mode (actually I've been in that since I bought his book). This gem just surfaced on his official Insta:
