Tony Todd grew up in Hartford, Connecticut, where he went to the local schools before enrolling at the University of Connecticut, and later went on to study theatre at the Tony Award-winning Eugene O’Neill National Actors Theatre Institute.
Todd debuted on-screen in 1986 in the fantasy called “Sleepwalk”, and soon after he played in Oliver Stone’s Oscar-winning anti-war drama “Platoon” (1986) starring Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, and Willem Dafoe. With the budget of only $6 million, the film made over $138 million at the box office and helped Todd to increase his net worth significantly, making him a rich man early in his career. He continued with roles in BAFTA Award-winning film “84 Charing Cross Road” (1987) with Anne Bancroft, Anthony Hopkins, and Judi Dench, and in Dennis Hopper’s “Colors” (1988) alongside Sean Penn, Robert Duvall, and Maria Conchita Alonso. Todd ended the ‘80s in Clint Eastwood’s Oscar-winning “Bird” (1988) starring Forest Whitaker, and in “Lean on Me” (1989) with Morgan Freeman, Beverly Todd, and Robert Guillaume.
In 1990, Tony appeared in the horror film “Night of the Living Dead”, and then in three episodes of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” (1990-1991), before starring alongside Virginia Madsen, Xander Berkeley, and Vanessa Williams in “Candyman” (1992), and in “The Crow” (1994) with Brandon Lee, Michael Wincott, and Rochelle Davis. In 1994, Todd appeared in popular TV series such as “Law & Order”, “The X-Files”, and “Homicide: Life on the Street”, before starring in “Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh” (1995). In 1996, Tony had a role in Michael Bay’s Oscar-nominated thriller “The Rock” starring Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, and Ed Harris, while he also played in “Sabotage” (1996) with Mark Dacascos and Carrie-Anne Moss. He ended the ‘90s with parts in Primetime Emmy-nominated “True Women” (1997) alongside Dana Delany, Annabeth Gish, and Angelina Jolie, and in “Wishmaster” (1997), increasing considerably his net worth.
In the early 2000s, Todd had parts in “Final Destination” (2000) and “Final Destination 2” (2003), and later he worked in “Hatchet” (2006), “The Man from Earth” (2007), and in Jon Cassar’s Golden Globe Award-nominated “24” (2008) starring Kiefer Sutherland. Tony continued with roles in “Hatchet II” (2010), “Final Destination 5” (2011), and “Sushi Girl” (2012), while most recently, he played in “Zombies” (2016) and “Two Faced” (2016). At the moment, Todd is filming numerous movies, including “Shades of Vengeance”, “The Witching Hour” with William Forsythe and Michael Madsen, and “#FromJennifer”; all of them will be released in 2017.

(On shooting The Prophecy: Forsaken (2005) in Romania) It wasn't a great experience for me. I didn't like Romania. It was right after the wall came down, and you got wild dogs roaming the street, and everybody's a Gypsy. Everybody's related to Dracula. It was seven weeks there. I just got tired. And I think the whole time, I only saw one other African-American there. Yeah... I was homesick.

(2010 -- on landing Candyman (1992)) I had just done a film where I had gone to Africa for the first time, so I was all into that. Then I get a call one day, I was getting a lot of work at this point, a lot of television, we were booking easily twice a month, but I didn't know I was successful yet, because I was worried about my little baby. Anyway, I get a call from my agent saying "This director wants to see you, wants to just meet you about this movie called Candyman (1992)." I thought he was fucking joking. I mean, what is that? A Sammy Davis thing? What is that? He said, "No no no. They won't give us the script, but they said it's a major studio film, and they want to just meet you." I said, "Okay." And I met Bernard Rose, who's a crazy maniacal Englishman who had a habit of twisting his hair between his fingers. He said, "I saw your film that you did in Africa, and you're my guy. The only problem is, we got to convince the studio." So I knew I had his blessings, and he slipped me a copy of the script. I read it, and word leaked out to me, it was the whole thing of the urban mythology, and the fact that this was a possibility of an African-American, I don't know, icon, but a horror figure. 'Cause I was heavy into the whole Dracula, Phantom of the Opera thing. I had to do what they call a "Personality Test," where I had to go to the studio at literally 8 in the morning, in front of a bunch of suits, and display whether I had a personality. So I did my best not to spill the coffee or insult them, and at the end of it, I heard they didn't think I had a personality. They said, "Well, we don't know if he has personality, but if you believe that he can do the film... Okay... Are you sure? He said, "Yeah. That's the guy." And then the last hurdle was meeting Virginia Madsen, who's from the Chicago area, and she just had it in her contract that she had to sign off on me. Then we met, went to lunch, and she said "Yes," and that was it. And I remember we came here to Chicago, and it was my first time in Chicago, we went to the Kingston Mines, me and Bernard, listening to some great blues. Keith Richards stopped by that night, and he was just saying, "This role is going to change your life." And at the time, I'm going "Okay, I've heard this before. I've done some things. I've had some life interruptions, but change my life? I'm going to do the best I can, but I don't know if your ego is stating that this is going to change my life." But in fact, he was right, because not a day goes by, to this day, 17 years later, without people, I mean multiple people, coming up and saying "Candyman!" Which amazes me, because usually film does not have that much of an attention span.

Night of the Living Dead (1990)' was my first starring role. First lead. And I remember I was in Pittsburgh doing something for HBO/Showtime-they were merged at the time, and I remember watching the original at a drive-in, and being really impressed that a) you had a black actor on screen played by Duane Jones, who was carrying the movie, and b) it was genuinely scary. You had the black-and-white, and it looked like a documentary. So I ran into the office-I found the production office-and I grabbed [director]Tom Savini by his lapels, literally, and said, "You got to read me. You got to read me." He tried to tell me I was close, I said, "You got to read me." And I just laid it out, and he gave me the job that day. So that was important for me. Later, my son was born too, during that, and that was significant.

It's very interesting that most of the roles I've gotten are grim, when I'm actually a very well-adjusted man and had a happy upbringing. I guess there are some dark shadows somewhere in there, but I'm a big kid.
