Candyman star Tony Todd has sadly passed away at the age of 69 in his home in Marina Del Rey, California. A representative for Tony confirmed the tragic news, although a cause of death has not yet been revealed. Tony was a well-known face in Hollywood, having graced our screens for over four decades. He starred in big-name films such as The Crow, The Rock and the spine-chilling Final Destination series.
In the film, Tony played Daniel Robitaille, aka Candyman, a ghostly figure who was the son of a slave and killed for his relationship with a white woman.
