Even without his best-known role as the hypnotic lead in the
Candyman series, Tony Todd might still be a horror icon, having racked up roles in over 30 horror movies since 1990. He is the James Brown of horror, working on project after project after project, including
Hatchet,
Wishmaster, the
Final Destination films and the 1990
Night of the Living Dead remake, not to mention episodes of TV shows like
Angel,
The X-Files and
