One of the first characters we are introduced to is The Criminologist played by Charles Gray. This character also acts as the narrator throughout the film leading the viewer through the story of Brad and Janet and their fateful encounter with Dr. Frank N. Furter. He helps to keep the story on track and even shows off a dance move or two during "Tim...
Columbia is a groupie of Dr. Frank N. Furter and played by Nell Campbell. Her flair and schoolgirl crush for a former creation of the doctor played by the late great Meatloaf, make her a charming and tragic addition to the gallery of characters in the movie.
Dr. Scott acts as the driving force behind Brad and Janet’s relationship, as we find out they met each other sitting in his class in one of the opening songs, "Dammit Janet.” We also find out later that Dr. Scott is a rival scientist of Franks and is now working for the government on secret UFO projects. This does not bode well for Dr. Frank N. Fur...
The titular character of Rocky, played by Peter Hinwood, is perhaps the most tragic character of the film. He is created by Dr. Frank N. Furter to be a muscular love for him and struggles to find another purpose for being alive. Hinwood plays the aloof bodybuilder version of Frankenstein so well, creating a classic hunk of granite movie monster.
Brad is dubbed the hero of the story. While that is up for debate, Barry Bostwick’s performance as Brad Majors is not. Manipulated by Dr. Frank N. Furter throughout the movie, Brad stands firm. Bostwick plays the character Brad to a somewhat dweeby effect, all the while ready to risk it all for Janet if need be.
Janet’s status as the heroine of the story is less in doubt than Brad’s as the hero, and the performance Susan Sarandon gives is one of her best. From singing and dancing to acting, her full array of talents is on display. One of three actors that went on to have great success following the movie, Janet is one of the lasting and best characters in ...
Richard O’Brien delivers a chilling and moody performance as Riff Raff, the handyman of the castle and Magenta’s brother. His ability to switch from subservient helper of Dr. Frank N. Furter to main antagonist at the films climax resulting in the death of the doctor. O’Brien shows that great range of character can be found even in the strangest of ...
Tim Curry’s full range of talents are on display in the movie as he tackles the role of Dr. Frank N. Furter. Reprising his role from the London stage version that the movie was inspired by, The Rocky Horror Picture Show marked the big screen debut for Curry, who has a particular love for the movie. Curry would go on to have an illustrious career sp...

- Dr. Frank N. Furter. And, of course, there’s Dr. Frank-N-Furter—the mad scientist with a flair for drama, a penchant for corsets, and an enviable ability to rock stiletto heels.
- Riff Raff. With hair more untamed than the wild intentions hidden beneath his stoic facade, Riff Raff offers a masterclass in the art of lurking. Serving Dr. Frank-N-Furter with a mix of subservience and barely concealed disdain, he’s always a hair’s breadth away from rebellion.
- Janet Weiss. Janet Weiss is the sweet, seemingly demure counterpart to Brad’s all-American bravado. Starting as the poster girl for 1950s modesty, she is the picture of purity with her neatly coiffed hair and modest dresses.
- Brad Majors. Brad Majors, or as our beloved Transylvanians call him, “a hero,” begins as the embodiment of 1950s All-American propriety. Yet, beneath that crisp white shirt and textbook bravado lies a man on the cusp of a revelation—or perhaps, a revolution.
