Some actors follow roles that are so iconic that they overshadow the rest of their career. Anthony Perkins immediately comes to mind; He did many other things after Alfred Hitchcock's "psycho", but he never avoided Norman Bates' shadow. Linda Blair deteriorated worse after playing Reagan at the "Exorcist", her adult career descended in Hell B-movie. As for Tim Curry, he did in order-he had to play Pennywise in "IT" and gained another favorite of the cult in "term", but he will always be remembered for playing Dr. Frank-N. "Rocky Horror show". And that was the role that defined the career that Mick Agger wanted for himself.

Still touring even in 2024, Rolling Stones became the grandchildren of rock and roll with the surviving chief members (Agger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood) throughout the 80-year-old Mark. Their age and features have made them something like an affectionate line, especially Richards' longevity after his wild drug exploits and the characteristic vocals of Jager and dance moves-Pokel, Marun 5 even made a song about it. From that perspective, Jager may not seem like the most likely candidate to enter the heels and socks on the Tim Curry trademark platform. But he not only actively demanded the role, he also had credentials to withdraw it. Speaking at the Los Angeles Times to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Rocky Horror, Curry recalls:

"When the film was definitely something, there were a few big stars who wanted to play the section (...) Mick Agger wanted to play and he would do a great job if you saw it. But (director Sharman) said he wanted to do it.

So how did Stones' flagmen frontman pay the crazy scientist who loved the party, and would it be good?

"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" comes from modest beginnings. Richard O'Brien was an unemployed actor when he began writing tumultuous musical respect for old scientific paintings and B-films to keep up with busy. His friend, theater director Jimim Charman, loved it and organized the first production in a small 60 -place space on Sloan Square, London. Premiere in the summer of 1973 was an instant success, with leading actor Tim Curry drawing rave reviews about his performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furrter.

Zuk meant that Sharman and his troupe could be upgraded to 500 seats, while record producer Lu Adler quickly bought US rights on stage. Curry reproduced his role as the show made his debut of the state next year, playing at the famous Roxy Theater in Los Angeles. "Rocky Horror" was a hot, hot ticket from day one, with big stars like Jackack Nicholson, Johnon Lennon and Mick Agger who attended the premiere.

The Stones singer was apparently in the show, and his men made questions about buying film rights. However, Jimim Charman did not need Jager's power to make a movie version. Gordon Studburg of the 20th century Fox also saw the show and offered him $ 1 million to adjust it to the screen, which means Charman can keep Curry in the lead role and direct the image.

"Rocky Horror" was the flop of the initial release, but found its natural home at midnight, becoming a quintessenic cult film and Perfect cinema sanctuary for fraud. Filled with singing with fans, such as the characters, now the characters are a legend, and thanks to the hole, the film has become the longest theater release that has been constantly working at all time to raise over $ 170 million. Not bad about something Richard O'Brien wrote as he hit his heels between jobs!

I saw first "Rocky Horror Show" Early in the early 90's, and, three decades later, the shame of Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-Nurter is still another of my favorite movie shows of all time. Several other actors have been playing with varying degrees of success: Anthony Head won the West End's revival in 1990, and Tom Hewitt received the Tony Award for his "Broadway Renaissance" performance 10 years later. In recent years, transgender actor Lavern Cox has been the only decent thing about the frightening remake of TV 2016. How can Mick Agger find yourself?

He certainly had an anarchic string of Frank. In the 1960s, the Rolling Stones was not only the Beatles' main rival, but they were also considered a rebellious alternative to the clean Liverpool guys. They cultivated a bad image of the boy, wearing a shame (during) fashion and wavered with controversy with suggestive verses and referrals of Satanism. He also had the style; Like many androgenic rock stars since the late 60's and early 70s, Jager regularly fueled fashion that made more conservative buns to merge the pearls for cross-dressing. During the 1967 drug bust, the police officer who arrested the singer felt forced to notice that Agger appeared to be wearing makeup at the time.

In the late 1960s, Agger began to cat with a film career and made his debut on the performance in "Performance", playing a hedonistic rockstarva -vs ahead of Gangster on the eastern end of Jamesim Fox. Nicolas Rouge's film was controversial about his sex, drugs and pit themes, and has definitely some very difficult mannerisms of Jager's characterization. Overall, he had a musical ability, appearance, attitude and notorious to make Dr. Frank-N-Furter very interesting. I'm still glad we got Tim Curry, but it would be fun to watch Agger in full.
