Todd said, “I wanted people to be scared and drawn into his world at the same time when I made Candyman.”
Todd thus viewed the release of Candyman as an opportunity to use his concepts to create a villain that wasn’t your average monster.
The character would be more than simply a terrifying presence since he would have emotions, a fascinating background, and complexity.
“A dying breed” Whether he was delivering ominous words on film or providing his voice for cartoon or voice-over productions, fans recall how instantly identifiable Todd was.
His voice alone had a strong pull that could simultaneously inspire fear, respect, and amazement. In addition to his suspenseful and scary scenes, Todd is renowned for his ability to make villains engaging and entertaining to watch.
It was a lot of fun to play the “bad guy” since he was able to give each character substance. “Tony was a dying breed, a true actor who will be sorely missed,” said another admirer.
