Furter) Susan Sarandon (Janet Weiss) Barry Bostwick (Brad Majors) As everyone's favorite nerd in Rocky, Bostwick brought a lot of musical talent to the film. He originated the role of Danny Zuko in Grease (1971) on Broadway, earning him his first Tony nomination. Two years after Rocky Horror, Barry Bostwick won a Tony for The Robber Bridegroom. While Barry has always kept busy working in either stage, film or television, most of his films have not been successes. He has worked in such non-hits as Movie! Movie!, Megaforce and Weekend at Bernie's II. He is now appearing on the television hit Spin City with Michael J. Fox. Richard O'Brien (Riff Raff) Patricia Quinn (Magenta) The humble Ms. Quinn claims that she got the part because "Marianne Faithfull was off with her guru." Pat Quinn is mostly known for her British stage work but may be known to audiences worldwide for her work as a nude model in Monty Python's Meaning of Life and her work in I, Claudius. She reappeared as Magenta in a 1994 production of Rocky Horror in Europe.
