He was 69.</p><p>Todd died Wednesday at his home in the Los Angeles area, his manager Jeffrey Goldberg said in a statement to The Associated Press.</p><p>“I had the privilege to have Tony as my friend and client for over 30 years and I will miss that amazing man every single day,” Goldberg said.</p><div class="s2nPlayer k-HeAkjiNV" data-type="float" data-s2n-api="dfm_stn_player_script_id_HeAkjiNV"></div><script> function dfm_stn_player_script_id_HeAkjiNV( getS2NApiForPlayer ) { if( typeof window.MNGAuthentication !== 'undefined' ){ const s2nApi = getS2NApiForPlayer( document.querySelector('.k-HeAkjiNV') ); s2nApi.float = ! window.MNGAuthentication.isUserSubscriber(); } }</script><p>“Known worldwide for his towering presence, both physically and artistically, Tony leaves behind an indelible legacy in film, theater, and the hearts of those who had the honor of knowing him,” Goldberg’s management company said in announcing the death.</p><p>“We bid farewell to Tony Todd, a giant of cinema and a beloved soul whose impact on our lives and the world of film will never be forgotten,” it said.</p><script id="f6d6d08fc8b9469896f9d265c3aa4cc4"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=bfe206ee-fe6d-4342-81a8-3263a805ed3c&cid=38d5daa3-18ac-4ee1-a905-373c67622f25'; cnx.cmd.push( function() { cnx( { playerId: "bfe206ee-fe6d-4342-81a8-3263a805ed3c" } ).render( "f6d6d08fc8b9469896f9d265c3aa4cc4" ); } );</script><p>Todd’s film resume included roles in award-winning movies such as the Oliver Stone-directed classic “Platoon,” released in 1986.</p><p>Todd was also known for his role in the 2000 horror film “Final Destination” and its sequel in 2003. The film company New Line Cinema mourned Todd’s death on social media over the weekend:</p><div class="dfp-ad dfp-cube_article" id="div-gpt-ad-cube_article" style="visibility:hidden"> <div class="htlad-cube_article" data-unit="orlandosentinel.com/latest-headlines/cube_article" data-targeting=""></div> </div><p>“The industry has lost a legend,” the company said on Instagram. “We have lost a cherished friend. Rest in peace, Tony.”</p><p>In “Candyman,” released in 1992 and followed by <a href="https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-reviews-arts-and-entertainment-film-reviews-8d732499e585f86982dbbef5fad74492">a remake in 2021</a>, Todd played a menacing killer who had a hook on one arm. The premise is built around an urban myth that Candyman roamed the Cabrini-Green housing projects in Chicago and could be summoned by saying his name five times in front of a mirror. The 2021 movie explores societal problems such as racism and police brutality.</p><p>Todd’s television career included roles in “Night Court,” “Matlock” and “Law & Order.”</p><p>“Off-screen, Tony was cherished as a mentor, a friend, and a beacon of kindness and wisdom,” Goldberg’s company said. “He gave his time and resources to aspiring actors, consistently advocating for greater representation and authenticity within the industry.”</p><p>“Those who knew him will remember his warm laugh, generous spirit, and his dedication to his craft,” the company said. “Whether on stage, on screen, or in personal conversations, Tony brought an unyielding honesty that resonated deeply with his friends, family, and fans.”</p></p> <div class="time mng-originally-published">Originally Published: <time datetime="2024-11-09 13:04:34">November 9, 2024 at 1:04 PM EST</time></div></div></div><div class="article-bottom-share"><div class="article-share" id="sharing-bottom" ><div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing"><h3 class="sd-title">Share this:</h3><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-facebook"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-facebook-14197583" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/09/actor-tony-todd-known-for-his-role-in-the-movie-candyman-and-other-films-dies-at-69/?share=facebook" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Facebook" ><span></span><span class="sharing-screen-reader-text">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)</span></a></li><li class="share-x"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-x-14197583" class="share-x sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/09/actor-tony-todd-known-for-his-role-in-the-movie-candyman-and-other-films-dies-at-69/?share=x" target="_blank" title="Click to share on X" ><span></span><span class="sharing-screen-reader-text">Click to share on X (Opens in new window)</span></a></li><li class="share-end"></li></ul></div></div></div></div></div><div class="revcon-footer"><div data-widget-host="revcontent" data-pub-id="190264" data-widget-id="282163"></div><script src="https://delivery.revcontent.com/190264/282163/widget.js"></script></div></div><aside class="article-sidebar"><div class="sidebar-content"> <div class="dfp-ad dfp-cube1_rrail_atf" id="div-gpt-ad-cube1_rrail_atf" style="visibility:hidden"> <div class="htlad-cube1_rrail_atf" data-unit='orlandosentinel.com/latest-headlines/cube1_rrail_atf' data-targeting=''></div> </div><div class="dfm-sidebar-top-flex-container"></div><div id="Native_Cube"></div> <div class="dfp-ad dfp-cube2_rrail_mid" id="div-gpt-ad-cube2_rrail_mid" style="visibility:hidden"> <div class="htlad-cube2_rrail_mid" data-unit='orlandosentinel.com/latest-headlines/cube2_rrail_mid' data-targeting=''></div> </div><h2 class="sr-only">Most Popular</h2><div class="dfm-sidebar-most-popular-flex-container">Most Popular<ul><li><h3 class="sr-only">6 Central Florida restaurants shut down last week</h3><div class='widget widget-popular-stories'><a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/27/6-central-florida-restaurants-shut-down-last-week-5/" class="bump-view" data-bump-view="tp">6 Central Florida restaurants shut down last week</a></div></li><li><h3 class="sr-only">Punishing a ‘playground bully’: High court suspends Seminole judge 60 days for abusive behavior</h3><div class='widget widget-popular-stories'><a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/27/punishing-a-playground-bully-high-court-suspends-seminole-judge-60-days-for-abusive-behavior/" class="bump-view" data-bump-view="tp">Punishing a 'playground bully’: High court suspends Seminole judge 60 days for abusive behavior</a></div></li><li><h3 class="sr-only">101 Things to Love about Central Florida (2024) | Commentary</h3><div class='widget widget-popular-stories'><a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/27/101-things-love-about-central-florida-2024-maxwell/" class="bump-view" data-bump-view="tp">101 Things to Love about Central Florida (2024) | Commentary</a></div></li><li><h3 class="sr-only">Gator fans, media owe an apology to Billy Napier, Scott Stricklin | Commentary</h3><div class='widget widget-popular-stories'><a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/27/florida-gators-billy-napier-fsu-seminoles-scott-stricklin-hot-seat-mike-bianchi-commentary-sec-football/" class="bump-view" data-bump-view="tp">Gator fans, media owe an apology to Billy Napier, Scott Stricklin | Commentary</a></div></li><li><h3 class="sr-only">Where did UCF go wrong this season?
