| The Rocky Horror Picture Show stage production |
His daughter, playwright Morgan Lloyd Malcom, confirmed the news on her Twitter, saying, "Today the world lost a beautiful, brilliant man. My dad Christopher Malcolm left peacefully and with dignity. He will always be my hero."
The Scottish actor originated the role of Brad Majors in the 1973 London production of Rocky Horror, playing the role of the newly-engaged fiancé of Janet Weiss who takes refuge in the castle of the sweet transvestite, Dr. Frank-n-Furter.
The accomplished stage show went on to a film in 1975, with the role of Brad played by Barry Bostwick.
While Malcolm continuously worked with Rocky Horror, co-producing the new production of The Rocky Horror Show at the Piccadilly Theater in 1990, he became the director of the Rocky Horror Company Ltd., overseeing its UK and European tours throughout the 90s and early 2000s.
Following his success in theater, Malcom appeared in films such as Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back as Zev Senesca (Rogue 2), Labyrinth, and Highlander. He later went on to play Officer Vance Parker in Shock Treatment, the black-comedy musical film follow-up to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
His cause of death has not been revealed. He was 67 years old.
