"I love Candyman. I'm pretty sure at this point that Candyman will be in the first 3 lines of my obituary, and I'm OK with that."
- Tony Todd.
Great actor. He starred in my favorite Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "The Visitor": https://reactormag.com/star-trek-deep-space-nine-rewatch-the-visitor/
@funcrunch@me.dm @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io There's so much to love about DS9, and The Visitor still stood out among the series. We were so lucky to have him brought in for that.
@funcrunch @mekkaokereke in memoriam tonight we watched this, Candyman, and the 1990 Night of the Living Dead.
