I'm extremely happy about this success as Tim ends his run on "Spamalot" on Saturday
For those of you who don't know, Tim has appeared in many fantastic movies including "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", "Home Alone 2: Lost In New York", "The Addams Family" and "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle"

Did you send him the picture or did Tim Curry send it to you? I'm such a huge fan of his and quickly sent my letter with a tiny envelope as I wanted to get it there before he left Spamalot.
I'll have to try again with another address.

Wow.. congratulations. I thought you would be too late, but still very lucky.

He sent the picture. It is really suprising how much he has aged since all the roles I have seem him in when he had darker hair.
Thanks Zorin, I really wasn't sure if it would make it in time but looks like it did

are you serious? oh, I am so jealous! I've sent three letter to him (all with SASE and everthing), and I have yet to receive anything back.
I'm quite sad about this
but congrats to you

I know most of you would see this as a waste of money, but I sent off a request to Mr Curry this morning. I've been a fan of his for years, and spent the last month or so looking for a decent photo to send (but I see from other people's successes, that he's supplying his own photos, which is quite strange for via venue). As well as wanting an autograph at short notice, I also wanted to test the Royal Mail and their delivery times, so if I get a reply next week, I'll know their service is improving!
Wish me luck

Good luck Keith
I received my items back signed from Jonathan Pryce several month after his play ended (I sent Via Venue), so you still definitely have a chance!

I know, but I'll try it anyway. If I don't get anything back, it's only cost me about £1, so no biggie!
