   RIP Tony Todd.

   Iconic actor with over 200 film and TV credits, best known for bringing the Candyman character to life. One of the world's greatest voices.

   Interview with Tony Todd:
   (CW: Contains scenes from the movie, which is a Gothic horror movie set in the Cabrini Green housing projects in Chicago. Racist violence, gore):

   "I love Candyman. I'm pretty sure at this point that Candyman will be in the first 3 lines of my obituary, and I'm OK with that."
   - Tony Todd.

     @mekkaokereke Was watching Savini's Night of the Living Dead remake when I read it. First horror movie I ever saw when I was a kid and he became one of my favorite actors as result.

     Great actor. He starred in my favorite Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "The Visitor": https://reactormag.com/star-trek-deep-space-nine-rewatch-the-visitor/

     I saw a Star Trek account post about Tony Todd's death and my first thought seeing his picture: isn't that Candyman?

     What a loss of such a great actor.
