He is portrayed by Tim Curry, who also plays infamous villains Pennywise the Clown, Lord of Darkness, and Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

Bio
Mr. Boddy runs a network of blackmailers. He has several spies to help him gather private information about the private lives of several people connected to the United States government. He then blackmails the person for large somes of money.

Mr. Boddy cleverly comes up with a plan to disguise himself as an English butler named Wadsworth (it is unknown whether his accent is real or fake.) He then invites six of his victims to a mansion for a dinner party. He also employs his spies to aid him in his scheme, posing as a cook, a maid, a cop, a motorist, and a singing telegram girl. He also has HIS butler pose as Mr. Boddy and mislead his victms into thinking that his butler is the blackmailer. He even makes up a story about his wife commiting suicide as a result of Mr. Boddy's blackmail.

The party turns sour when the guests are given weapons, and someone tries and kills the fake Mr. Boddy. This lead to an night of murder, as each one of undercover spies  are killed off one by one. And no one can trust anyone. After six murders, Wadsworth claims he knows who the killer is, but first explains HOW it was done.

Little by litte more truth is revealed. The guests find out that everyone who died was a spy for Mr. Boddy, and who they spied on. At the very end of the movie, it's revealed that all but one of the guests is a murderer, each one killing the informant who gave Mr. Boddy information. When the guests can't figure who killed the final victim, Wadsworth reveals that he did. He then reveals the truth and thanks his victims for killing all his spies so there is no evidence against him.

However, right as Mr. Boddy reveals he will continue to blackmail them. The one innocent victim pulls a revolver out of his pocket and kills him. The guest reveals he is an FBI agent and the others guests are under arrest.

Other Endings
Although the above plot is considered "What REALLY happened". the movie has two alternate endings. One includes Wadsworth revealing he is an FBI agent himself, and the other includes Wadsworth being an ordinary butler.
