LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD RECIPIENT

TONY TODD

Tony has become a film icon in the horror and sci-fi realms starring in not only the CANDYMAN franchise, the HATCHET franchise, and also in the FINAL DESTINATION franchise of hit films. Films grossing more than $6 Billion at the box office worldwide have made the name Tony Todd box office gold. Tony has embarked upon his next great franchise starring in the film HELL FEST for producer Gale Ann Hurd.

Tony Todd is perhaps best known for his chilling portrayal in the title role of CANDYMAN. Since his film debut in the motion picture SLEEPWALK in 1986, followed almost immediately by a starring role in Oliver Stone’s Academy Award winning film, PLATOON. This charismatic six foot five-inch-tall actor has consistently turned in compelling performance after compelling performance.

We are proud to recognize Tony with this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
