"The industry has lost a legend. We have lost a cherished friend," New Line Cinema, which produced the 'Final Destination' franchise, wrote in a tribute.
Tony Todd, an actor who starred in the Candyman and Final Destination horror franchises, has died. He was 69.
He died Wednesday at his home in Marina del Rey after a long illness, his wife, Fatima, told The Hollywood Reporter.
“The industry has lost a legend. We have lost a cherished friend. Rest in peace, Tony, -Your Final Destination Family,” New Line Cinema, which produced the Final Destination franchise, wrote on Instagram.
Born on Dec. 4, 1954, in Washington, D.C., Todd went on to study for two years at the University of Connecticut before getting a scholarship for the Eugene O’Neill National Theatre Institute. His time there helped lay a foundation for his later stints at the then-Hartman Conservatory in Stamford, Connecticut, and the Trinity Repertory Company in Providence, Rhode Island.
