VOY s4e16 “Prey”
The only Tony Todd episode I occasionally skip is “The Visitor” but not because it’s bad. Just “too soon” from a losing my own father perspective.
Totally understandable and hopefully it’ll get easier over time. It’s a hard watch regardless. Really knows how to pull at the heartstrings.
“The Visitor” is up there with “Jurassic Bark” on the ugly crying scale.
That music immediately rang in my head.
I was at a convention (Dragon"Con 93 I think, it was right after Chris Reeve had his accident). Heard the Voice of God asking if I wanted to sign a big ass card for Reeve. It was Mr Todd. Scared the hell out of me. But, seriously, he was the nicest, kindest actor I’ve ever met. A true legend
A buddy of mine lived in the same apartment building as him for a few years. Every time I saw him, he was friendly and polite.
All you need to do to summon a Tony Todd episode is to say his name five times in front of a mirror.
He owned that role. Still haven’t watched the reboot for fear of disappointment.
It’s good, you should check it out. DeCosta’s treatment of his and Peele’s screenplay is top notch.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Did he still have that bee sting rider for his time on Star Trek?
