Tony Todd, known for his iconic roles, passed away at 69 last week.
The actor, who many remember from the Candyman and Final Destination films, also lent his voice to popular video game characters like Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Over the weekend, Insomniac Games shared their sadness over his passing
, expressing how much joy he brought during the game’s production. They described him as having a unique voice and presence, saying, “We are Venom… forever.” The game introduced Venom to players, and last year, Todd joined other Spider-Man 2 stars at a Comic-Con panel called “Symbiotic Relationships.” Before the game hit the shelves, Todd told Marvel.com, “Venom is one of the coolest Marvel characters ever created.” Exciting news came last month from Insomniac when they announced that Spider-Man 2 would be available on PC on January 30.
Fans sometimes feel like they truly know celebrities through their work, even if they’ve never met them.
Next month, Todd will appear in the new Indiana Jones movie, The Great Circle. Axel Torvenius from MachineGames expressed
how Todd’s kindness and professionalism left a lasting impression on everyone. “It was truly awe-inspiring getting the opportunity to know and work with him,” Torvenius stated.
Throughout his career, Todd’s voice could be heard in games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Half-Life: Alyx, and Back 4 Blood. His film career was just as impressive, with roles in movies such as Platoon, The Rock, and the 2021 version of Candyman.
