Tony Todd, the American actor who became famous for his roles in the films Candyman and Final Destination, has died at 69, according to his manager.
“What can I say about #TonyTodd, a man that has been my friend and client for over 30 years other than to write that I will miss him every single day,” talent manager Jeffrey Goldberg wrote in a social media post that was shared on Saturday. “His talent will be missed on screen and stage.”
The actor passed away at his home in Los Angeles on Wednesday. A cause of death was not released.
Todd has appeared in more than 100 films throughout his career and guest starred in dozens of television roles, including Criminal Minds, Law & Order and Boston Public.
He also appeared on Broadway with notable performances in August Wilson’s King Hedley II and Athol Fugard’s The Captain’s Tiger.
As a voice actor, Todd portrayed The Fallen in director Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Venom in the video game for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, the latter of which earned him a British Academy Games Award nomination.
