Tony just landed 6-10 series arc on "24". General Juma.
Tony-"After America destroys my country and my people. I lead a small band of Nationalists to DC, infiltrate the White House, and Kidnap President Taylor(Cherry Jones), for most of next season. This is huge. Gonna lead to so many other blessing. I'm so stoked. They broke their 24 rule btw, as I've previously appeared as a detective, but they couldn't find an actor for this part. I was called to the excecutive headquarters of FOX. Read for Howard Gordon, Producer, and Senior VP, and we nailed it. Also Arc starts with a special 2hr. Movie of the Week, which concludes this season. Part of which shoots in South Africa."
Monterrey Pictures gave Fango the word that it’s moving forward with ESCAPE OF THE LIVING DEAD, the film adaptation of the Avatar Press comic that we previously discussed here. John Russo, whose screenplay inspired the four-color edition, is set to direct, and fellow NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD veteran Russ Streiner will produce alongside Monterrey’s Joe Majestic and Independent-International’s Sam Sherman. ESCAPE will be the first of several planned productions from Monterrey’s new genre label MM.Underground.
Set in 1971, three years after the events of NIGHT, ESCAPE deals with a group of surviving ghouls being accidentally set free from a research lab, leading to a new flesheating plague. A genre-friendly cast has signed on for the project, including Tony Todd, Gunnar Hansen and Kristina (Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN) Klebe, along with Amber Stevens from ABC’s GREEK. You can read more about the comic here; look for updates on the ESCAPE movie soon. —Michael Gingold From the Monterrey Pictures website:

This by Tony\'s friend Kim Brockington, a project that Tony felt you all should know about.
Hey Everybody,
This is a project that has been in limbo for some time and has now come to fruition. Zora so deserves this and I am proud to be a part of this historic event (I play Zora in the reenactments and is the voice of Zora throughout).
But again this is more about Zora than me announcing a project. This artist did not get her just desserts alive and as artist as many of you are, of lovers of art I know you can appreciate my sentiments.
So I hope you can be there to celebrate Zora on April 9 @9 pm on PBS finally getting her kudos in a historical documentary in 2008!
Love, Light and Lots of Blessings to all my folks,
Well we had a few minutes at Horrorfind, and I,being an ok webby, had my video camera... so Tony thought it might be a good idea to send out a video blog to the site users since he's been so busy. Without further babble from me ...
Tony, as many more actors that appeared in George Romero films, was in attendance at Horrorfind 9! We had a great time hanging out and meeting all the fans, It was an honor for me to meet a lot of you, thanks to the man himself ,who made it possible. Anyhow, we had some fun while we were there and this is a side of Tony I'd like you to see...
Here's a video from Tony's Q&A at the Bayfront Convention Center following "Shadow Puppets". Thanks to The Eerie Horror Film Festival for hosting this event
