In a rare public appearance, British actor Tim Curry was seen on Thursday in Los Angeles with his caretaker.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 79-year-old Rocky Horror star was seen pushing a wheelchair out of Gelson\u2019s supermarket in the sunny west coast city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim sported a long-sleeved red T-shirt for the event. Tim also played hotel concierge Mr. Hector in the beloved Home Alone 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After passing out at his California home in 2012, Tim had a stroke that left him speechless and partially paralysed on one side of his body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The renowned actor has been virtually invisible and hardly seen after suffering a stroke at the age of 66.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the health emergency, Tim had a distinguished acting career after becoming well-known in 1975 thanks to The Rocky Picture Show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actor\u2019s most well-known performance was in the film as Dr. Frank N. Furter, a brilliantly insane scientist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to portraying the same role in the 1975 movie, he played the role on Broadway after originally appearing in the original 1973 London staging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Los Angeles magazine that he views the success of the movie \u201cwith a sort of bemused tolerance\u201d <\/strong>in reference to the role that made him a household name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He continued, \u201cIt\u2019s neither a blessing nor a curse. I was lucky to get it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He avoided talking about the film for many years out of concern that he would be stereotyped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim remembered his Broadway debut in The Rocky Horror Picture Show\u2019s opening night as \u201cvery exciting,\u201d<\/strong> but he thought the show\u2019s critics were much too critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had to go on the Today Show the next day and they read the reviews \u2013 which were appalling,\u201d<\/strong> he explained. \u201cThat brought me down. It was very cruel.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

His portrayal was characterised in the reviews as \u201ca combination of Burt Lancaster and Joan Crawford\u201d <\/strong>and \u201cMick Jagger, David Bowie, and Marc Bolan all in one.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He later played the stuffy and suspicious Mr. Hector in the cast of Home Alone 2, which was released in 1990.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite not having a leading role, his character was among the most recognisable to emerge from the blockbuster Christmas movie\u2019s sequel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the 2015 Tony Awards Viewing Party in Los Angeles, Tim received The Actors Fund Lifetime Achievement A<\/p>\n\n\n\n
