Tim Curry (b. 1946) played Long John Silver in the 1996 film Muppet Treasure Island and provided a number of character voices for the TV series Dinosaurs.
From a promotional interview with CNN: "When they were negotiating the movie, I said, you know, 'What's the billing going to be?' And they said, 'First among humans.' And I want that in the future on all films, I think."
Curry also contributed a "Lemon-Stuffed Roasted Chicken" recipe for Miss Piggy's 1996 cookbook, In the Kitchen with Miss Piggy.
