Tony Todd, star of Candyman, dies aged 69
(www.theguardian.com)
I loved his work on DS9. Sad to see him go. What a bummer on top of everything else going on.
RIP. I love that movie too. Virginia Madsen did a wonderful job and the soundtrack by Philip Glass is sublime. It's nostalgic for me as well, since it takes place in Chicago during my formative years, and it's a little glimpse of what it was like at that time.
It reminds me of the story of how Hitchcock thought Psycho was going to be a terrible movie, until Bernard Hermann took a stab at it
I'm friends with his sister, I can only imagine how absolutely devastated their family is 😭
Farewell to the flesh :(
Isn't dying like step one of making a Candyman?
What is wrong with you?
Just respecting a legacy. All we gotta do when we need him is say his name. No need to mourn the immortal. RIP
...until we need him anyway 😏
God damnit.
