I mostly knew him as Angela’s dad in Boy Meets World !! And as William Bludworth (the mortician) in the Final Destination films!!

Devon Sawa who was the lead in the first Final Destination tweeted about his passing:

Tony Todd was a friend even through my darkest times. I’ll never forget that.

I got to meet him last year as part of a work thing, he was so lovely and gave me so much of his time when he didn’t need to. Such a talented guy, may he rest in peace.

RIP ❤️

I was watching Candyman, The Night of the Living Dead, and The Final Destination movies before Halloween, thinking about how great an actor he was and how great it is seeing him pop up in things. Like DS9!
