Reeve Carney recently starred as "DorIan Gray" in the hit cable series "Penny Dreadful." Handpicked by director Julie Taymor, Carney originated the role of "Peter Parker/Spider-Man" in the Broadway production of SPIDER-MAN TURN OFF THE DARK.

He also fronts the rock band Carney, whose debut album, "Mr. Green Vol. 1," is out on DAS Label/Interscope. His debut solo album, "Truth," will be released this October.

THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW debuts on FOX on October 20th. The cast includes Laverne Cox (Dr. Frank-N-Furter, "Orange is the New Black"), Victoria Justice (Janet, "Victorious"), Adam Lambert (Eddie, "American Idol,) Ryan McCartan (Brad, "Liv & Maddie," "Heathers the Musical"), Reeve Carney (Riff Raff, "Penny Dreadful," "Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark") and Staz Nair (Rocky, "Game of Thrones").

THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW follows sweethearts Janet (Justice) and Brad (McCartan), who stumble upon Dr. Frank-N-Furter's (Cox) bizarre abode. Frank-N-Furter, a sexually ambiguous, flirtatious alien mad-scientist - with the help of his faithful servants, Riff Raff (Carney) and Magenta - is holding an annual, Transylvanian Science convention to showcase the birth of "Rocky Horror" (Nair) - a fit, attractive man created solely to fulfill Frank's desires.

THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is a reimagining of the cult classic, which is celebrating 40 years of theatrical distribution - longer than any other film in history. One of the most popular films of all time, it still plays in movie theaters around the world.
