Damn! That's awful.

I saw him last year at the San Francisco Fan Expo, he seemed very nice and humorous. I joked with him and another fan about that Elton John line in The Rock, kind of ironic, meeting him in the same city where those VX poison gas rockets were aimed at in that flick. He and Carl Weathers, two guys I met last year, now departed this year. May they rest well.

Alert the honoured dead. A new Warrior has entered Sto'Vo'Kor!

Definitely a legend - showed up in so much great stuff that I loved growing up. And man, what a character he wove together for the Crow.

This sucks, because they were planning another Final Destination movie with him in it.

He did an amazing job in the Candyman movies. He even got stung in his mouth by bees in that role. Candyman 4 was absolutely terrible so it appears as though that franchise was dead before Tony Todd was.
