Tim Curry Dies at 80 as Susan Sarandon Leads Tributes to Rocky Horror Star

Q: Did the legendary actor leave behind any final, unreleased voice performances before his peaceful passing at age 80?

Yes. Tim Curry appears to have completed at least one final unreleased performance before his death: director Michael Leavy said Curry had finished all of his work for *Stream 2: Sudden Death*, which is now expected to be released posthumously. What is less clear is whether that role was strictly a voice performance. After Curry’s 2012 stroke, he worked largely in voice acting and limited screen appearances, and reports around his later career emphasize that he continued contributing through vocal roles. But the available reporting tied to *Stream 2* describes it more broadly as his final performance, not specifically as an unreleased voice-only role. There is also evidence that Curry had already returned to live-action shortly before his death in 2024’s *Stream*, meaning his last unreleased work may not have been solely voice acting. No widely confirmed reports in the material provided identify another separate, unreleased animated, dubbed, or game voice role completed before he died. So the strongest verified answer is that Curry did leave behind unreleased work — *Stream 2: Sudden Death* — but current reporting does not firmly establish it as an unreleased voice performance specifically.

Tim Curry died peacefully at his Los Angeles home on August 25 at age 80, his manager said, prompting tributes led by Rocky Horror Picture Show co-star Susan Sarandon.
Sarandon remembered Curry for his "heart," calling him "funny, sexy, original" and noting he remained generous with fans after the major 2012 stroke that left him using a wheelchair.
Rocky Horror castmates and successors, including Nell Campbell and Luke Evans, praised the fearlessness that made Curry's Dr Frank-N-Furter a cult touchstone on stage and screen.
Six decades of work stretched far beyond Rocky Horror, with tributes also citing his turns in It, Clue, Annie, Home Alone 2, The Hunt for Red October and Muppet Treasure Island.
The outpouring cast Curry as a singular character actor whose performances shaped generations of stage and film fans long after his peak screen years.
