Oh hey, it’s Tim Curry’s 75th birthday! Hmm… Facts about Tim…Oh! He was going to voice Scar in 1994′s the Lion King, but was ultimately passed over for fellow English actor Jeremy Irons. This is somewhat ironic, as while Tim Curry is a noted singer, Jeremy Irons’ smoking habit meant that he was unable to complete the character’s ONE song in the film, meaning that midway through the song Be Prepared it switches over to Winnie the Pooh voice actor Jim Cummings, from the line “So prepare for the coup of the century” onwards. Might’ve saved money by sticking with Tim, just sayin’.BONUS CURRY FACT!While it’s generally well known that Tim Curry was one of the folks in the running to voice the Joker in Batman: the Animated Series prior to getting beaten out by Mark Hamill, what is less well known is that he was also up for the role in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman film as well, but was likewise passed over for Jack Nicholson instead. -- source link
