Tony Todd

The work I did with Artists Collective led me to a scholarship at Uconn… It led to me getting a scholarship at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center and a scholarship at Trinity Rep in Providence.

Whenever I can make it work out, and schedule permitting, I like to help young filmmakers.

Thank God for voiceover work.

Voiceover is probably the toughest of all the markets to get into. Everybody wants to do it because it's again three to five hours work. You can roll in there with your bedroom slippers and robe on if you wanted to. And it's fun.

I think you have a responsibility as an artist to continually reach a hand out and try and inspire people.

I grew up a poor kid to a single mom, so as an African-American actor I have a responsibility to hold the mirror up and reflect our stories. I'm living the dream and also escaped the inevitable.

Duane Jones is a personal hero of mine.
