We do not mourn, for a great warrior has entered Sto-Vo-Kor with honour.

He had such a great voice, will always remember him for his DOTA 2 character voicing (and a great voicing of Slyrak in the anime too) He guest starred in so many shows too.

His voice was absolutely awesome and so terrifying. I first saw him in Candyman and that ranks as one of the spookiest films I've seen in part thanks to him. He was a commanding prescence in any film he was in from what I remember.

RIP, great actor. Loved his roles in Star Trek.

wow...69 is so young to go these days. Wonder what the cause was at that age. He was one of those actors who had immense screen presence in his scenes.

Same age as me.

One picture Sky News had of him, he looked dreadful, no idea how old he was in it, but looked a shadow of his younger self.

Wow only 69 RIP

Almost on the level of james earl jones, for a recognisable voice.

It's weird these black actors were so popular even though everyone in the past were apparently 100% confirmed racist according to new age thinking.

Maybe colour isn't the problem but the attitudes some people have... but we have the sins of America on our shoulders apparently

RIP Tony, he was great in the roles I remember him in, Candyman, Final Destination and Die Hard 2 to mention just a few

RIP, great actor. Loved his roles in Star Trek.

DS9 was my favourite series (closely followed by TNG) and for me one of the episodes that is always the first to come to mind is 'The Visitor' because of his performance (but all his performances were fantastic)

Candyman scared the **** out of me as a child, RIP Tony

This. Not watched Candyman, I will always remember him as Worf's younger brother.
