Tony Todd Completes Triple Play For "Star Trek" TONY TODD (well known to fans of horror films as "Candyman" and Ben' in "Night of the Living Dead") is also a voyager within and between many science fiction and fantasy television universes, including those of "Star Trek", "X-Files", "Xena", and "Hercules". Whether in episodic television or made-for-tv films (such as "Them" or "Black Fox"), his performances are always dynamic. But never before has he been more challenged than this month, when he creates his third new "Star Trek" universe characterization for the television series, "Voyager".
The new character is 'alpha-Hirogen'. In giving flesh and life to this representative of an alien race of hunters, Todd completes a "Star Trek" triple play. He has been the featured guest star for a new character in all three modern era Trek series. Todd's previous characters were the Klingon warrior, K'urn (brother of Worf) in "Star Trek: the Next Generation" (STNG) and the alternate timeline adult Jake Sisko in the critically acclaimed "Deep Space 9" episode, "The Visitor". This puts Todd in rare company, with only one other actor (James Sloyan) having portrayed a new and different character in each of all three modern era Trek series.
Todd's call to fame will be that he has portrayed three extremely different characters in both temperament and appearance, with all three requiring his ability to emit strong emotions while wearing heavy make-up. The heavy make-up to metamorphize Todd into a Klingon warrior originally required three hours of effort by Paramount's make-up department. Portraying adult Jake Sisko in an alternate time line required Todd to age 50 years during a single television episode, with the appearance of an 80-year-old again requiring nearly three hours. To create this newest character, Todd endured almost seven hours in the makeup artist's chair; then donned an immense costume which added another 50 pounds of weight to his frame.
"But it's worth it", said Todd. "My character is a walking shark ... a predator on planets... a mantis. Yellowish skin.. with reptilian ridges along the creature's facial bone structure... big brain... flattened nose... black shiny eyes. I'm completely covered head to toe, in rubber, for 15-17 hours at a stretch. It's the hottest thing I've ever worn: black and purple alien rubber suit, restrictive movements, and two green lights in my chestplate. Ummmm...."
