Tony Todd (1954 - 2024)
==Film Deaths==
*Platoon (1986) [Sgt. Warren]: Presumably dies (off-screen) of his injures after his stomach is blown open in an explosion; we last see him being airlifted out in a helicopter.
*Enemy Territory (1987) [The Count]: Jaw smashed in with a playground swing by Gary Frank, on top of being shot by Ray Parker Jr..
*Night of the Living Dead (1990) [Ben]: Shot in the chest by Tom Towles; he dies some time later after barricading himself in the basement. He comes back to life as a zombie, and dies once again when some hunters shoot him in the head (as Patricia Tallman tearfully looks on).
*Candyman (1992) [Daniel Robitaille, The Candyman]: Stung to death (off-screen) by bees after a lynch mob cuts off his hand and smears his body with honey, decades before the movie begins; he returns to life as a supernatural being. (His death is only mentioned in this movie, but is shown on-screen in flashbacks in the sequels Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh and Candyman: Day of the Dead.) He is stabbed in the chest with a wooden beam by Virginia Madsen and burns to death afterwards. NOTE: He returns in a sequel, but the death here was meant to stick.
*Excessive Force (1993) [Frankie Hawkins]: Shot in the head by Lance Henriksen in an act of betrayal after Tony fought Thomas Ian Griffith. Lance shoots him in the chest first, then in the head to finish him off. (Also to mention, earlier in the film, Tony faked his death by blowing up his apartment as Thomas was planning to visit him and a charred corpse was seen by Lance and paramedics until it was revealed later on that Tony was alive and well.)
*The Crow (1994) [Grange]: Shot in the chest in a shoot-out with Ernie Hudson.
*Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995) [Candyman, Daniel Robitaille] Shatters into hundreds of pieces when the magic mirror is destroyed. He later returns in a third film, but this death was initially intended to be final.
*The Rock (1996) [Captain Darrow]: Impaled through the back on a pipe after being knocked through a window by a rocket fired by Nicolas Cage.
*Sabotage (1996) [Sherwood]: Shot in the back of the head with a sniper rifle by Mark Dacascos, while Tony is driving away.
*Wishmaster (1997) [Johnny Valentine]: Drowned in a tank of water by Andrew Divoff, after Andrew had tricked Tony into wishing for a more exciting profession, and turned into into an escape artist, but ensuring that Tony would not be able to escape before drowning. He is later brought back to life when Tammy Lauren tricks Andrew into undoing his death.
*Never 2 Big (Butter) (1998) [Benzo Al]: Shot repeatedly in the chest in a shoot-out with Ernie Hudson and Tommy 'Tiny' Lister in the lobby.
