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.
When Eric Lensherr starts to use his team to destroy famous landmarks such as the Empire State Building. Charles Xavier and his mutants try to stop them, but they fail, and Charles is left paralyzed from the waist down. Meanwhile Logan and Eric start arguing about whether or not it's right to be doing this. Logan expresses that he wants equality, and he joined the team because of that but teams and originations like this don't want equality they want superiority. He tells Eric that all mutants ever wanted was acceptance and that being what humans think they are, isn't going to get them that. So, with all that Logan leaves and talks to Charles Xavier. Meanwhile Colossus is struggling with what he should do, he knows that what he is doing is wrong. General Ross hears Colossus talking about it and decides to let Colossus go. He tells Colossus to run and hide but Colossus instead tries to be a hero which ends up getting him attacked by Eric and his mutants, but Charles and his team save Colossus and fight Eric's team. The movie ends with a fight between Charle's team and Eric's team where Eric's team wins again. Scott ends up going out into the battlefield alone and tells Eric's team that they don't have to be Eric's puppets and that Eric only tells them these things about acceptance and free will to get them to do what he says. Rouge looks at her team and realizes she's on the wrong side and so she grabs Eric's arm, takes his powers, and traps them all under a bunch of trucks.
