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.
¿Cómo cambia un hombre el mundo? Es una pregunta que obsesiona a Peter Parker al igual que el fantasma de su Tío Ben, muerto a tiros ante sus ojos en las calles de Nueva York una noche que cambió su vida para siempre. Atormentado por la culpa y la ira, el desilusionado estudiante prometedor de Midtown High desaparece de Nueva York y viaja en secreto por el mundo, buscando los medios de luchar contra la injusticia y utilizar su poder arácnido contra los que se aprovechan de los que tienen miedo. Con la ayuda de su Tía May, la capitana Yuri Watanabe (una de las pocas buenos policías de las fuerzas del orden público de Nueva York) y Harry Osborn, su mejor amigo, Peter Parker libera a su imponente alter ego: Spider-Man, un justiciero enmascarado que utiliza los poderes de una araña, la inteligencia y un despliegue de artefactos de alta tecnología para combatir las fuerzas siniestras que amenazan con destruir la ciudad: Mysterio y Kraven el Cazador (su mentor en su viaje espiritual).
