Masters Of The Universe: Revelation Cast Reacts To Tony Todd's Scare Glow

The horror icon helped bring a classic Masters of the Universe character to life for the first time and it legit scared the rest of the cast.

Comments

Tony Todd has been a working actor for almost 40 years with his most recent role was giving a voice to the macabre and mysterious character Scare Glow on Masters of the Universe: Revelation. Todd's version of Scare Glow will be the first time the glowing ghoul has been adapted in animation, and he might have done too well of a job.

At the Masters of the Universe: Revelation panel for Comic-Con at Home, Kevin Smith talked to Todd about the casting choice behind him and how the rest of the cast, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, reacted to how he brought Scare Glow to life.

"We pushed that voice to the limit," Smith exclaimed. "It is a fantastic performance, and you and Sarah--your interplay, is magical and you didn't even get to act off one another."

"We were watching it early this morning before school and my daughter loved your voice," Gellar said. "'He's my favorite', she said. I literally asked my daughter what did she think of me in that scene and she told me that she honestly forgot I was in it. She's so obsessed with you and your voice about how eerie and honest...but you were the whole conversation."

Chris Wood, who plays He-Man and his counterpart Prince Adam, chimed in agreement about what Todd brought to the character and how he found it genuinely horrifying.

"Tony's Scare Glow, oh, it's amazing, man," Wood said. "It's so scary and I don't want to spoil it for people who haven't seen it, but that whole episode and the center of it being fear...Tony, you just own that. It's so compelling. Oh my God, what a blast."

Scare Glow is hardly the first time Todd has lent his voice to terrifying and foreboding characters. In the past, he's supplied the voice of Darkseid in multiple DC Comics animated movies, Zoom--though uncredited--in the CW's Flash, and even the Decepticon Dreadwing.

The first part of Masters of the Universe: Revelation can be streamed on Netflix starting today.
