I got his autograph at a convention once. Most celebrities fall somewhere close to the middle of the "smile, nod, sign autograph, receive money" curve. Tony Todd started asking me questions about what I was doing at the con, what sort of stuff I was looking forward to. He was sweet and kind and giving to a gigantic dork to whom he owed nothing, and he gave me a memory that I'll cherish forever. He deserves every ounce of praise he'll receive, and more.
