The trans actress keeps pushing boundaries with a starring role in Fox’s The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's do the Time Warp Again. There is likely no film phenomenon quite like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the 1975 cult film by Jim Sharman based on the Richard O’Brian stage production has become a staple of midnight screenings where fans dress up as the characters, perform and shout back to the screen. Fox TV has now tread on hallowed ground with a small-screen remake of the beloved camp classic. The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's do the Time Warp Again, stars Laverne Cox (star of the Golden Globe nominated Orange Is the New Black) in the role of mad scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter made famous by Tim Curry in the original. That character was a prescient precursor of gender fluidity and a plum role for Cox to display the full range of her talents.
