P.S. I just updated a partial list of TV Times for August and September in Tony's TV Times Section...
From May 21, 2007:
Hello All!
TONY wrote in to confirm the News on the pilot he filmed being picked-up by NBC called "Chuck" was my news of the week. Will know in the upcoming weeks, where we are with the production, and when shooting starts. It's gonna fall on Chuck's shoulders, how this flies. And since this is from the producers of "OC", augmented by the slash and dash directorial style of "McG"....This should fit into the perimeters. Ran into Tim Russ at the YMCA tonight (May 16th), and his pilot, "Sam, I AM" also got selected. He's on ABC, Mondays, after "Dancing with the Stars", all we get is following, "My Biggest Loser". Next step is passing Network tweaking, and getting offered a substantial initial contract, but all looks good. The Female agent, directly works and reports to me, So if the show is a hit, I'm practically guaranteed a series regular assignment. Wrapped today on "Without a Trace". Anthony LaPaglia and I did two flicks together in the early nineties. "Criminal Justice, and Keeper Of The City". Anyway. Life is good. many blessings abound, now if we can globally reduce the demand for oil, and bring our food cost down, and provide worldwide adequate healthcare. Everything would be roses.
Peace
T"
I was checking out NBC's Fall Preview and was SUPER Glad to see that CHUCK has been added to the line-up!!! The NBC Fall Season begins Monday, Sept. 24th and CHUCK can be seen on Tuesday Nights at 9pm on NBC! Tony wrote back in March, "Worked on a NBC pilot called "Chuck". Sort of OC meets 24. I play the CIA head. If it flies, I'm a possible regular." Check out the TRAILER for CHUCK...Tony is in it!!! :) From this Trailer, it almost looks to me like: '40 Year Old Virgin' mixed with 'The Matrix', but with 20 Somethings... ;) It has tounge-in-cheek humor, but with COOL Action Scenes!!! I can't wait to see it!!! :)
CHUCK: Tuesdays@9pm on NBC in September!
To the Right you see Zachary Levi as Chuck (Less Than Perfect), to the Left is the Photo of the CHUCK Cast: Joshua Gomez as Morgan, Natalie Martinez as Kayla, Zachary, Yvonne Strzechowski as Sarah, and Adam Baldwin as John Casey.
From Zap2it.com: "You know all those warnings about never opening an e-mail if you don't know who sent it? Computer geek Chuck Bartowski learns that lesson the hard way when he opens an e-mail that has been subliminally encoded with vital government secrets, triggering a massive download of critical information into his brain. With assassins and international terrorists eager to nab Chuck's noggin, it falls to NSA Maj. John Casey and his partner, CIA agent Sarah Walker, to protect the U.S. Government's newest and most unlikely secret agent. At least Chuck can rely on best buddy Morgan and his understanding sister, Ellie (Sarah Lancaster - "What About Brian", "Everwood"). Executive producer Josh Schwartz ("The O.C.") wrote the pilot script with Chris Fedak. McG ("Charlie's Angels", "We Are Marshall") is an executive producer and director on the show."
From May 12, 2007:

From April 2006:
Many Thanks to Briar Lee Mitchell, professor - Art Institute of California at Los Angeles for writing to me and telling me about Tony's Upcomming Film: King of Ink!!! To the Left "is the logo and log line for the film: Brought to life by a freak accident, tattoos seeking a purpose for their new lives search for their mythical leader, The King of Ink. It is an original story, 8 minute animated 2D/3D film. I wrote the story and all of the art and animation is being produced by my students at the Art Institute of Los Angeles. The film will be sent to festivals. Working with Tony was an amazing experience. He was able to bring so much to the character and just a great guy to be around. I do hope I get a chance to work with him again. (To the Right) is what his character looks like - The King! The character was designed by Christian Ramirez...one of our students, and he did an amazing job. Right now, we anticipate being done with the film around September. We also shot video that day for the behind the scenes."
Many Thanks to Briar for sending two audio clips of Tony speaking as the 'King' from the movie King of Ink!!! In the first sound clip, Tony says, "What do we have here?" and in the second sound clip, Tony says, "Someone has to want you." The Audio Clips are in aif format...I am not sure what every program is that plays aif files, but I do know that iTunes does. Click HERE for iTunes 6 - Free Download for Mac and Windows! "Here, for now, is the link to my company where the King of Ink website will run. www.starmountainstudios.com You will see a banner there for another film we have in production called Jake's Shadow and links to some of our games, including Genie Joe & The Axeman...one we made with Joe Perry (Aerosmith)." Below are 3 photos that Briar sent of Tony and her at the studio. :)
From March 2006
SPECIAL NOTICE: Minotaur's World Premiere!!!
Tony plays Deucalion in the movie Minotaur coming to the Sci-Fi channel on March 11 (9PM), 12 (1AM), 16 (9PM)!!! Here is the description at Sci-Fi.com: <<A primitive society makes human sacrifices to a half-man, half-bull abomination. But this time, one of the sacrifices fights back. Tom Hardy (Star Trek Nemesis), Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) and Tony Todd (the Candyman films) star in this gripping version of the classic myth. Tagline: In His Maze, All Paths Lead To The Grave.>> Also Stars: Michelle Van Der Water, Lex Shrapnel and Directed by Jonathan English.
Many Thanks to Tony for writing in a couple letters with the following:
"Minotaur" is making it's American debut on Sci-Fi, on Sat. March 11th. We're a little disappointed by the placement, as the film is still being released theatrically world wide. I'm sorry that American audiences are going to experience it with commercials, but film was a labor of love, brilliantly directed by Jonathon English, and made in the lovely city of Luxembourg. Test screenings left the studio concerned about the universal appeal. The further dumbing down of America. Minotaur took three years to be filmed, helmed by one of the most committed directors I've ever had the pleasure of working with, Jonathon English. And shot in the winter.
Life is what she is
Peace
T"
Check out the IMDB for a Plot Summary written by Mykol Gantt: <<Long ago in the Iron Age a shadow loomed over a lonely village. For generations the village youths are stolen from their families and delivered as sacrifice to a mythical beast - the Minotaur, that dwells beneath a great palace. Theo, haunted by the loss of his love in an earlier sacrifice is convinced that the beast isn't real and that his girl still lives as a slave within the palace. His father Cyrnan, the village leader, tries to reason with Theo not to go but Theo is driven by blind rage. He devises a plan and is taken with the other youths who are dragged screaming from their families.>>
Also, Check out IonCinema.com and a review from Nick Grey, from Jan 13, 2006, He Gave it 5 Stars! <<A brilliant rendition of the classic myth for the post 'Scream', MTV generation. Tony Todd is at his best, leanding the film an emotional depth that compliments the lush sets, gore and sheer sex appeal. As usual Rutger Hauer is watchable, and rising star Tom Hardy plays the lead role with committment. Could be a cult fim despite the fairly work-a-day script. If gorgeous women kissing each other and blood and guts are your thing - watch that space!>>
From Feb. 28th
Many Thanks to Tony for writing in with the following:
"I wanted to post a word about my last film. "Man From Earth". That was an extremely rewarding experience. Very committed and talented group of artists, some of us will assuredly continue to cross paths, Annika Peterson, David Lee Smith, Richard Riehl, whom I've worked with on Driven, and Hackett. This was Jerome Bixby's last script. He's best known for writing "Fantastic Voyage", some of the first Twilight Zone and Star trek episodes. This story is about a farewell party for a favorite college professor, who uses the event to tell an inquisitive group that he's actually several centuries old. Beliefs and proof are offered as evidence, and everyone's life is forever changed. This is an important work of Sci-Fi, and what if? I was blessed to be included. Also did an interview for Dead-Central.com yesterday (Feb. 24, 2006).
(From Feb. 28th)
I want to share a tribute for one of most powerful influences in my life. The late, great Don Knots. Who passed last weekend. I love Barney Fife. Since childhood. He wore his expressions for the world to see. Like a kid. You knew when he was happy, or sad. And the comedic work was amazingly beautiful To this day. For me. That's one of my secrets.
Let's whistle one for sweet ole' Mayberry.
Peace

One the most extended, cast and crew, final applause, I've ever had. We had a strange two days, at "Loma Vista", a deserted insane asylum just off the Boyle st. Bridge. six accidents in 48 hours, from heart plapatations, scratched cornea's, Electrician being shocked, whiplash, and our script supervisor fell and broke her foot.

Many Thanks to Geneva and Jeff for letting me know the following, "Tony is shooting "Shadow Puppets" here in Los Angeles with Jolene Blalock and James Marsters for producer Bob Crowe and Ross Goldfarb and for director Michael Winnick. I was on the set the other day and it looks great............this will be a very big film."

From the OFFICIAL site at Shoreline Entertainment, the plot of the movie is: "Eight people awake in an abandoned asylum and soon discover that they are subjects of an experiment. As they try to escape a vicious Shadow Creature stalks them, threatening their lives from the darkness." They also have a photo of Tony in Prison on their site and a link to a Fangoria Magazine article about the movie, which has a photo of Tony from his other movie SHADOW: DEAD RIOT!
A Message from James from the James Marsters Live Website says, "Start filming on Monday on Shadow Puppets. It's a psychological thriller and I'm really excited about it all." Another Message from James from The Official James Marsters Site says, "As many of you may have already heard, I started today on the feature film “Shadow Puppets.” It is a great script and I really like the director. I’ll keep you all posted as it goes along."

PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mr. Todd delivers his most powerful and evil performance as a serial killer occultist who is convicted, executed and resurrected as an undead killing machine with a dark mission.
SHADOW: DEAD RIOT is a unique stylistic fusion of Asian-style action and atmospheric horror set in a women’s prison. The cast features an ensemble of strong, two-fisted female convict characters that unite to wage an all-out battle against an army of the undead who rise from the cursed prison grounds.

From October 31, 2004:
Sadly, on October 10, 2004, we have lost a most wonderful actor and Humanitarian: Christopher Reeve. Tony starred in the 'Black Fox' Western Trilogy with Christopher in 1995. Tony wrote in to say:
Concerning C. Reeve.
I'd like to thank him for his vast humanitarian and artistic contributions to our planet. To urge his fans to research and request our government into more stem cell research. His tragedy should not pass in vain.
Rock the vote.
Peace
T
My Mother, sister and I were fortunate to be able to see Christopher and his lovely wife Dana in person at the Caroline Rhea Show last year when he was promoting his book 'Nothing is Impossible: Reflections on a New Life'. The show gave us a copy of his heart-warming book. I remember us being really excited for him as he was telling how he could finally move a finger which until that time was impossible as he was paralyized from the neck down and how his foundation was making strides in raising money for research. We were quite hopeful for him as well as a close friend of ours who had a terrible bicycle accident that has left her paralyized. My earliest memories of Christopher was of being a young girl when 'Superman' came out and trying desperately to stay awake thru a triple feature at the drive-in so I could see it! :) My first introduction to Tony's work as an actor was by watching the 'Black Fox' trilogy movies in which the 2 starred. My hope is that the legacy that Christopher started will continue. My prayers and best wishes are now with his family! Sincerely, Angela L. Wheaton aka ALWheaties

From March 2004: Tony wrote to say, "Did you catch my stint on 24? Tournament of Dreams is shaping up quickly, and I'm scheduled to do a western with Bruce Boxleitner, in the fall, called 'justice." "So far it's only one appearance on 24, however they claim they want me to recur. We'll see. It was a solid experience."

Strong production meetings for a 25 million production of Candyman. Reinvented and relocated to New England. Targeted for Halloween 2005. I just booked an undisclosed # of eps on 24.

There are very high hopes for "Tournament of Dreams".
From November 2003: Tony wrote to say, "Filming is going strong. Lot of buzz already. Have placed key emotional scenes in the can. I really have high high hopes for this one. Just feels right. I'm costarring with a talented group of newcomers, mostly female. Strong, talented actresses...including, Joyful Drake, Shakira, Raven Simone, and more. Other adults are Debbie Allen, and Carl Lewis, of nine gold medals fame. Feeling happy about things."
From October 2003: Tony wrote to say, "Next week I start production on an independent film, called "Tournament Of Dreams." I'm really stoked about it, because I play another actual human being. "Isiah Kennedy, the High School coach of a girls basketball time. I don't get killed, or kill anybody in the flick. It's the lead role. Martin Landau's company. Director Don Abernathy". This is EXCITING News!!! I can't wait to see it when it comes out!!! : )
Tony wrote about "the Prophecy 5 film I did in Romania earlier this year. Dimension is really happy with it. Just finished ADR. Looks terrific. Very cool angels, and dialogue. Very sinister, but we already knew we could do that. It's being released by Dimension, don't know exact date. Director is Joel Sassoon. My character is Stark. Jason Scott Lee, Doug Bradley, and Kari Wuhner also in the cast. Cool."

The Tony Award-winning actress died in her Los Angeles home of a heart attack on March 12. In tonight's highly emotional episode, Mannion (Craig T.

But her death could bring life to a boy awaiting a heart transplant. At headquarters, Clive seeks Mannion's help in locating Ricky (William Turner), who disappeared shortly after Ella's death.

Sadly, a friend of Tony's has passed away. Charlie Brown was in the play King Hedley II with Tony. Thanks to Jill for sending me the photos (Shown Left)! Tony had the following to say about his friend, "Charlie was an underated, but highly appreciated and respected actor in the theater community. When I first arrived in NYC, to stake my claim, his legend was already intact. Having originated roles in Home, and Soldiers Story, among others, seeming to miss out on Hollywood translations. When we were cast in the original productions of "King Hedley 2", I was thrilled to walk the boards with an actor of his emminence. I think the reviews in Pittsburgh, Seattle, and Boston speak for themselves. Futher proof that heaven is a more talented place than the turmoil left behind on earth." My prayers are with his family.
SEE TONY IN A PLAY!!!

From Tony's Dogwalker Bio Page we learn that "Todd's passion for acting began in theatre, where his repertoire has ranged from performances in CRY ME A RIVER (Hasty Pudding Theatre), ZOOMAN AND THE SIGN (Second Stage Theatre), LES BLANCS (Arena Stage and Huntington), PLAYBOY OF THE WEST INDIES (Peterboro and Crossroads Theatre), OTHELLO and the NAACP Image Award-winner NO PLACE TO BE SOMEBODY (Matrix Theatre)".
From Tony's Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh Bio Page we learn that "On stage, he has appeared in productions of "Home," "The Might Gents," "Sepia Tones," "Camino Real," "Blood Knot" and "The Island."
"Todd's first big break occurred when Oliver Stone caught his work in "Johnny Got His Gun" at New York's Westbank Theater. Stone was so impressed by the performance that he went backstage after the show and offered Todd the role of Sergeant Warren in "Platoon."
"He spent two years on a scholarship at the University of Connecticut which, in turn, led to a scholarship offer from the renowned Eugene O'Neill National Theater Institute. It proved to be his foundation and the touchstone for intense stints at the Hartman Conservatory in Stamford, CT and the Trinity Square Repertory Theater Conservatory in Providence, Rhode Island. He appeared in dozens of classical and many experimental plays, yet still managed to find time to teach playwriting to high school students in the Hartford public school system. To that end, and profoundly influenced by his Aunt Clara to be a positive force in the community, he organized and was the artistic director of the Free Me Truth Troupe, which recruits and works with the worst problem children in several cities around the country."
