Tony Todd, who played Earl Jenkins in the Smallville Season 1 episode “Jitters” has passed away. The actor, who is most famous for his role in the Candyman franchise, was only 69 years old. He passed November 6 at his home in Los Angeles; no cause of death has been revealed as of yet.
Smallville wasn’t Tony Todd’s only venture into the DC Universe. He lent his voice to such projects s Batman: The Brave and the Bold and even voiced Darkseid in multiple animated features. He also was the voice of the villainous Zoom in over a dozen episode of The CW’s Flash TV series.
He leaves behind a ton of work and a legion of fans who appreciated him. We are so sorry to read that he has died.
