oh nooooo. The Candyman. ohhhh. Man, anything I've seen him in... or just heard that distinctive voice.... oh man, did I luv this guy's voice and acting.

The stories I could tell of me and my running buddy (both of us very much adults) getting totally snockered

and, again, turnin off all the lights, crowding in front of the bathroom mirror, cracking our drunk selves up saying "Candyman Candyman Candyman".

Good times.




Yup, I see the Star Trek world is all over this. He was one of ours too with characters in TNG, DS9, Voyager.


Thanks for everything, Mr. Todd
