Preminuo je prirodnom smrću u svojoj kući u Los Angelesu u srijedu navečer, prenose američki mediji.
Igrao je u filmovima "Final Destination" i "Transformers", a tumačio je lik komandanta Starship Enterprisea Kurna u "Star Treku".
Tony Todd wasn't just a great actor, who played so many great roles, who made everything he was in better just by his presence. He also made the community we have here better by his presence, always interacting with his fans and being just so positive. I'll miss him so much. pic.twitter.com/gdME1Htfx7

Rođen je u Washingtonu 1954. godine, a karijeru je započeo u ratnoj drami Olivera Stonea "Platooniz" 1986. zajedno s Charliejem Sheenom, Willemom Dafoeom i Johnnyjem Deppom.
Međutim, uloga duha američkog roba iz 19. stoljeća u "Candymanu" 1992. godine mu je donijela slavu. Također je glumio u dva nastavka - "Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh" iz 1995. i "Candyman 3: Day Of The Dead" 1999. godine.
