10 Actors Who Were Criminally Wasted In Famous Horror Movies

7. Tony Todd - Final Destination 3

SAW 3D
New Line Cinema

Final Destination follows a group of people who narrowly avoided being killed in a plane crash. Although they believe they got lucky, a mortician called William Bludworth informs the survivors they must pay a price for upsetting the balance between life and death. Because they cheated death, The Grim Reaper will come for each of them to collect their souls by any means necessary.

Even though it's a bit of an exposition dump when Bludworth divulges this information, the movie gets away with it, since the character is portrayed by Tony Todd. Due to his effortless menace and smouldering voice, Todd can make the dumbest dialogue sound riveting. Fans loved Todd's performance so much, Bludworth returned in the sequels.

But when it came to Final Destination 3, it was obvious the writers had no idea what to do with him. After they failed to find a way to implement Bludworth into the story, they instead had Todd provide the voiceover of a carnival ride. This role is so insultingly minimal, it would've been better not to cast Todd in the first place.
