The actor Tim Curry has suffered a stroke.

The 67-year-old 'Rocky Horror Show' star is recovering, following the collapse at his Los Angeles home. His agent Marcia Hurwitz confirmed.

"Tim is doing great."

"He absolutely can speak and is recovering at this time and in great humour."

Curry is best known for playing the infamous role of Dr Frank N. Furter in Richard O'Brien's 'The Rocky Horror Show' and Jim Sharman's movie adaptation 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'.

'The Rocky Horror Show' returned last winter for its 40th anniversary tour and the film is still in limited release to this day.

Curry also played Mozart in the stage production of 'Amadeus', and is known for his film roles in 'Annie', 'Clue' and Stephen King's 'It', among others.
