Throughout his career, Tony Todd had strongly based his reputation on his role as Candyman, which he had also reprized for an appearance in the 2021 remake. In the first film of the trilogy, released in 1992, he shared the bill with Virginia Madsen, who played Helen. Who wanted to pay tribute to him on Instagram. “The great actor Tony Todd has left us and is now an angel, as he was in life,” she wrote.

Tony Todd was also known for his role as William Bludworth in the “Final Destination” saga. He appeared in the first three issues of the franchise, but also in the very last one released in 2011. Passionate about horror thrillers and science fiction, he had become a specialist in the genre, whether in cinema or on television. . “Charmed”, “Angel”, “Smalville”, “Stargate SG-1” are some of the series in which we have seen him. In recent years, he also subscribed to detective and action series, such as “24 Heures Chrono”, “Chuck” or “Hawaii 5-0”.

For the moment, the causes of his death have not been revealed.
