TONY TODD is
perhaps best known for his chilling portrayal in the title role of Candyman.
Since his film debut in the motion picture Sleepwalk in 1986,
followed almost immediately by a role in Oliver Stone's Academy
Award-winning film Platoon, the
charismatic 6’5” actor has consistently turned in compelling
performances. His film

Living Dead, Final Destination, and The Secret from the
award-winning team of Erick Zonka and Virginie Wagon (Dream
Life of Angels).
His upcoming movies include the independent film Silence and Final
Destination II. His guest starring TV
appearances include NYPD Blue, Boston Public, Smallville, Law and
Order, Crossing Jordan, Homicide, Xena, Hercules, The X-Files and
an upcoming episode of Andromeda, as well as recurring
roles on all three incarnations of Star Trek.
His television movies include starring roles in True Women, The
Black Fox, Butter, The Last Elephant, Babylon 5: A Call to Arms, and
the upcoming Control Factor, among others. Tony's passion for acting
began in theater, first at the University of Connecticut, and then at the
renowned Eugene O’Neill National Theatre Institute. His theater credits
include originating the title role of award-winning playwright August
Wilson’s King Hedley II. He
also received a Helen Hayes nomination for his performance in Athol
