Tony Todd (December 4, 1954 – November 6, 2024) was an acclaimed American actor known for his deep, resonant voice and imposing screen presence. Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Hartford, Connecticut, Todd trained in theatre at the University of Connecticut and the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, building a foundation for his later work both on stage and screen. Todd's film career began in the mid-1980s with supporting roles in films like "Platoon" (1986) and "Sleepwalk" (1986). He rose to prominence for his starring role as Ben in "Night of the Living Dead" (1990) before achieving iconic status as the title character in the horror classic "Candyman" (1992), a role he would reprise in several sequels. His film credits also include "The Crow" (1994), "The Rock" (1996), "Wishmaster" (1997), and his recurring role as William Bludworth in the "Final Destination" series (2000–2025). In television, Todd was widely recognized for his recurring roles across the Star Trek franchise—most notably as Kurn, Worf's brother, in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," as well as other roles in "Star Trek: Voyager." He also made memorable appearances on shows like "Boston Public," "24," "The X-Files," "Smallville," and "Law & Order". Beyond live-action roles, Todd was a prolific voice actor. He contributed to the Half-Life video game series as the Vortigaunts, voiced The Fallen in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" (2009), Zoom in "The Flash" (2014–2023), and played Venom in "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" (2023), for which he earned a BAFTA Games Award nomination. Todd’s theatre credentials were equally impressive, including starring roles in Broadway and regional productions such as August Wilson's "King Hedley II," "The Captain's Tiger," "Othello," and "Aida." His voice, physical stature, and range earned him critical acclaim and a lasting legacy in horror, science fiction, and dramatic arts. Tony Todd died from stomach cancer at his home in Marina del Rey, California, on November 6, 2024, at the age of 69. He had reportedly been quietly battling this illness during his final projects. Both "Final Destination: Bloodlines" and "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" were dedicated to his memory.
This is where stakes are really high. In this third movie, Spike and Carly are now living together in Chicago, with the Autobots continuing to work with NEST to take down any remaining Decepticons around the world. However, a new enemy comes and threatens to wreak havoc among the human race. He plans to bring back an army of a new wave of Decepticons and wipe out the whole human race starting with Chicago. Realizing the grave and terrible danger again, Spike and Carly must reunite with the Autobots one final time to stop this new enemy from destroying Earth and possibly making Earth the new Cybertron. This will level the stakes a lot more the original third movie tried to do. This will adapt one of the episodes "Divide and Conquer," along with having some of the same elements that the final battle had in the original movie, but this time a lot of people die. Some of the original Autobots will die as well, and some of the human allies will betray the Autobots and work for the Decepticons. Sentinel Prime will be introduced but he won't turn into the bad guy. However, he will be mind controlled by the Dark Energon in the 4th movie fighting Prime, and will continue doing that in the 5th final movie. And also Spike and Carly will be engaged at the end of this movie remake.
