I was gutted to hear about actor Tony Todd's passing on Wednesday. He was 69. Tony was one of the pillars of the horror community, a consummate professional and always approachable.
He visited the Toronto area regularly for convention appearances and I was glad to have met him during his time at Fan Expo and Shock Stock. He was a journeyman of stage and screen; big and small with roles in marquee films like Platoon, Lean on Me and The Crow.

While he was best known for his iconic role as 1992's Candyman, Todd appeared in countless genre films, including Final Destination, Hatchet and the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead.
This is a huge loss. Rest in peace, Tony.
