I didn't immediately recognize the name, but I'm very familiar with his face from things like the Night of the Living Dead remake, The Rock, the Hatchet movies, ST: TNG (as a Klingon) and ST: DS9 (as adult Jake Sisko), as well as other movies and TV shows.

Ah that's awful, I always really liked the Candyman movies.

R.I.P.

 

[Jovavic]

Nice run

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Ugh this sucks

Was great in every role thru years and as Scifi/Horror fan he appeared in so much I have watched

Tony is a Horror Icon and will be missed. Thanks for the memories. RIP

 

[the valiant effort]

Still one of the most hilarious scenes to me after all these years



“I don’t listen to soft ass SHIT.”

Awww man, this sucks. RIP

I was really hoping he would show up in one of the new ST series.

He was in a ton of Sci-Fi

RIP, he has many great roles.

 

[Seedtype]

Rest in peace to a great character actor.

Tony shopped at a store I worked at in the mid-90s. Being the Candyman there was something inherently intimidating about him but then you'd talk to him and he couldn't have been kinder or more unassuming. These were a couple of small, normal customer-worker interactions.

 

[MadDevil]

Seriously November, f*** off.

One of those actors where I immediately recognize his face, but never even heard of the name. I guess you call them character actors.

RIP

His Candyman scared me for a long time when I was younger. Did his job.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Acting skill was not high. But for what his range was he was very good

Bummer... RIP, Tony

One of those "That guy from that thing" type of actors. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Takes a lot of talent to consistently provide top tier supporting performances.

The Rock is one of my favourite movies. The title score to me is as good as Terminator 2, which is like my highest ranking. That one from Jurrassic Park is pretty dope as well.

I loved Tony as the secondary or tertiary bad guy in Die Hard 2.
