Actor Tony Todd, best known for starring in the lead role of the “Candyman” horror franchise, has died at 69, his manager Jeffrey Goldberg confirmed. Todd was a versatile actor with hundreds of screen credits to his name, including "Platoon," "The Rock" and "Final Destination." But “he shot to stardom in 1992 playing the ghost of a murdered Black artist in the horror movie Candyman,” writes Chloe Veltman for @npr. Read more: https://flip.it/uJ1TUH

Tony Todd died! A wonderful actor all around. I saw him at my first ever Star Trek convention in 1992 in Burlington Vt when he was promoting #Candyman. (@georgetakei was the headline name and a delight, of course) but while not really a horror person, I did make a point to see Candyman, and have rewatched just for him. But today I may go for #DS9 episode The Visitor and have a good cry.
#TonyTodd #StarTrek #RIP

#RIP #TonyTodd #StarTrek.

Great on The Visitor. Still not my # 1 EP tho.

That's Pale Moonlight.

RIP Tony Todd, legendary actor known for Kurn, Worf's brother in Star Trek, and the unforgettable Candyman. He was always a presence on screen and in voice acting.

Tony Todd was one of my favourite actors and he recently played Scare Glow in Masters of the Universe Revelation/Revolution too and as Venom Marvel's Spider-Man 2 for PS5 which I love. I paid to get a photo with him at London Comic Con a year ago but he had to cancel. I wanted him to hold my Scare Glow action figure in the photo. Won't ever happen now. :/ Rest in peace, sir.

Why do I feel so irritated when a beloved #StarTrek actor passes and the articles all mention a non-Trek role in the headlines? It’s completely irrational, actors have careers and, when they’re especially talented, they’re going to be in demand

Rest in power #TonyTodd. You’ll always be Kurn and adult Jake to me

Well, now I'm sitting here crying remembering DS9's "The Visitor". RIP Tony Todd, we'll never forget you.

Want to watch a film starring the actors who played the following #StarTrek characters?

• #Kurn's Tony Todd
• #DoctorPhlox's John Billingsley
• Seamus, #JeremyLucas and #Batai's Richard Riehle
• #Zahir's David Lee Smith

as well as #AnnikaPeterson, #AlexisThorpe, #EllenCrawford and #WilliamKatt?

Then here's my periodic reminder that #TheManFromEarth exists and is proof you don't need a big budget and a lot of sets to make a brilliant film.
Just a great story (in this case a screenplay by #JeromyBixby, who also penned several #STTOS episodes) and good actors who can portray that story.
