Tony Todd

 

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 credits include The Rock, The Crow, Lean on Me, Bird, Night of the 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 Fugard’s The Captain’s Tiger. Other theater credits include Les Blancs, Playboy of the West Indies, Othello, Zooman and the Sign, Dark Paradise, Aida (on Broadway), and, most recently, Levee James for the prestigious Eugene O’Neill Playwrights Conference.
