Tony Todd (December 4, 1954 – November 6, 2024) was an acclaimed American actor known for his deep, resonant voice and imposing screen presence. Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Hartford, Connecticut, Todd trained in theatre at the University of Connecticut and the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, building a foundation for his later work both on stage and screen. Todd's film career began in the mid-1980s with supporting roles in films like "Platoon" (1986) and "Sleepwalk" (1986). He rose to prominence for his starring role as Ben in "Night of the Living Dead" (1990) before achieving iconic status as the title character in the horror classic "Candyman" (1992), a role he would reprise in several sequels. His film credits also include "The Crow" (1994), "The Rock" (1996), "Wishmaster" (1997), and his recurring role as William Bludworth in the "Final Destination" series (2000–2025). In television, Todd was widely recognized for his recurring roles across the Star Trek franchise—most notably as Kurn, Worf's brother, in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," as well as other roles in "Star Trek: Voyager." He also made memorable appearances on shows like "Boston Public," "24," "The X-Files," "Smallville," and "Law & Order". Beyond live-action roles, Todd was a prolific voice actor. He contributed to the Half-Life video game series as the Vortigaunts, voiced The Fallen in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" (2009), Zoom in "The Flash" (2014–2023), and played Venom in "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" (2023), for which he earned a BAFTA Games Award nomination. Todd’s theatre credentials were equally impressive, including starring roles in Broadway and regional productions such as August Wilson's "King Hedley II," "The Captain's Tiger," "Othello," and "Aida." His voice, physical stature, and range earned him critical acclaim and a lasting legacy in horror, science fiction, and dramatic arts. Tony Todd died from stomach cancer at his home in Marina del Rey, California, on November 6, 2024, at the age of 69. He had reportedly been quietly battling this illness during his final projects. Both "Final Destination: Bloodlines" and "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" were dedicated to his memory.

My Idea for a Connected Cinematic Universe of Hasbro Films Distributed by Paramount Pictures. All Movies and Characters from Transformers, G.I.Joe, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Equestria Girls, Power Rangers (Because Hasbro Bought it), and Rom SpaceKnight. With some other Hasbro Porperties Sprinkled in like their Board Games and Such. Much of the Idea Came from the 2018 BumbleBee Movie. My idea is to Introduce the AutoBots and G.I. Joes in their own movies, & a few crossovers. This will be the idea for the first two phases. While introducing new AutoBots, Joes, Decepticons and Cobra Villains. The third phase will finally introduce the Mane 6 from Equestria. The Mane 6 become real humans when travelling to the Transformers/G.I. Joes' world (ala Equestria Girls). While also introducing the Power Rangers and Rom The Space Knight. After many crossovers and sequels, these characters will finally face off against Villains like MegaTron, Cobra Commander, StarScream, Destro, NightMare Moon, Discord, Lord Tirek, Devastator, Unicron and Megatronous, a.k.a. The Fallen.
