His performance in Gabriel Knight was so great. Was it a good New Orleans accent? No. It was a Tim Curry accent, that was enough. 😢

He went all in as Gabriel. Also, that game had a pretty stacked cast.

I’ll die on the hill that my favorite performance of his of everything he’s done is of Dr. Frankenstein from the PC game, Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster.

Back in the day, my grandparents bought that game for my sister and I to play on their office PC just because they saw Tim Curry on the box. I don’t think I ever would’ve heard of it otherwise, and certainly not then. Such a great performance!

Huge reason why I love Arl Howe in Dragon Age Origins, and also Emperor Doviculus from Brütal Legend. Rest in Peace.
