Tony Todd is a fucking legend. Super under appreciated. I loved him in the Night of the Living Dead remake from 1989

Dude was a legend. Even his two minute cameo in a B movie schlockfest like Wishmaster was memorable and stood out.

Utterly gutted. Todd was fantastic. Going to watch Candyman and NOTLD '90 in his honor. RIP Big Man.

To me Tony was like Bill Paxton -- him being somewhere in a movie made it worth watching no matter what the rest of the movie was like. Also he was the only person other than Lou Gosset Jr. that could truly voice a Vortigaunt.

What's funny is I knew Tony Todd for his Star Trek roles more than anything else. He also played Kurn, Worf's brother. A truly underrated actor, in my opinion. "The Visitor" was the only Star Trek episode that made me cry and it always pulls at my heartstrings to this day. A masterful performance.

I also enjoyed him being the creepy mortician in the Final Destination movies, and also his voice work in DOTA 2. He will be missed indeed.
And I didn't know he died at only age 69, I thought he would be in his 70s by now.

So sad. I'm going to need to login to Star Trek Online and play his missions this weekend.

He's not gone. Just say his name three times in a mirror. Er... bad taste?
That is such a shame, his Merrily Watkins books are very good, haven't read his others yet. RIP Phil.

I'm actually shocked it is a person that did this. I always thought, given how it sounded, that it was a voice-to-text synthesis because, to me, it sounded very robotic.

Night of the Living Dead 1990 actually aired on AMC Sunday night (early Monday morning) between replays of The Walking Dead: Darryl Dixon season 2 finale. Tony Todd was great in that. But I know him best as mortician William Bludworth in the Final Destination franchise, the man who has memorized every paragraph of Death's rulebook, and he reprised his role one last time in the upcoming Final Destination: Bloodlines (to be released next year but filmed earlier this year).
RIP
RIP

One of the greatest character actors and horror stars of the 80s. Amazing voice. Never political.
I guess we're getting to the age where all the great actors we grew up with are dying.

It hit me hardest when George Carlin and Robin Williams passed away, not just because of how god damn good they were, but because it's clear that the "talent" that's emerging to replace them is diluted and almost sterile. We're supposed to be standing on the shoulders of giants, but our modern entertainers seem content to sit on the ground beside them making fart noises and giggling instead.

Ooh, did I strike a nerve by not giving a shit about an overrated horror movie villain?

Since this is also a thread for death anniversaries, today (November 11th) is the 25th anniversary of the suicide of Mary Kay Bergman, the original voice actress for the female characters on South Park.
Not gonna lie, even though I was unfamiliar with Mary Kay Bergman beyond the characters she voiced, her suicide still shook me a lot when I first heard about it.
