Tim Curry Deeply 'Regrets' Not Playing This Legendary '90s Slasher

In a new interview with The Academy, IT star Tim Curry revealed his “great regrets” over missing the chance to play yet another iconic ‘90s horror villain.

The 79-year-old Rocky Horror Picture Show actor, who recently released his memoir, Vagabond, shared that he “desperately” wanted to play the antagonist in Silence of the Lambs, but was not even allowed to audition. “One of my great regrets is that I read the script of Silence of the Lambs and I desperately wanted to play Hannibal Lecter,” Curry recalled.
