How old is Todd and where is he from?
Todd was born on 1 July 1961, making him 62 years old. He is originally from Columbus in Ohio, United States.
However, he was raised in upstate New York and lived for some time in multiple countries, such as Germany, Chicago and Brazil.
His family emigrated to Australia when he was 16 years old, where he graduated from Sydney Church of England Grammar School.
Todd had initially planned to return to American to attend university in Los Angeles, but he joined an Australian soap opera instead to focus on acting.
He went on to graduate from Sydney’s National Institute of Dramatic Art in 1983, before eventually moving to England.
People have shared confusion after hearing his accent as they thought he was American, however, it seems his accent is a mix from all the countries he has lived in.
What will Todd do now after leaving Coronation Street?
Since Todd’s character has been killed off, fans have been wondering where they can catch him next.
The actor announced he already has a new job lined up and will take on the role before the end of the year.
“I'm dead excited!” he told Birmingham Mail. “The last week of November I start rehearsals for panto, which runs the last three weeks of December.
“And then Bill Kenwright, who was famously an actor in Corrie before he became a massive theatre producer, has just offered me — without even blinking — the Laurence Olivier part in Sleuth.
“That's going to be a tour starting in Windsor and doing a tour around London, and then coming to The Lowry here [in Salford]. That's going to take me through to the end of June so I'm dead excited about that.”
When did Todd first join Coronation Street?
Todd has a long history of starring in soap operas after one of his earliest jobs was on the Australian show The Restless Years in January 1980.
He made his first appearance on Coronation Street as Stephen Reid in 1996.
He only appeared in 47 episodes on-and-off between 1996 and 2007, but has been mentioned by his family on numerous occasions since then. The actor returned to the series in June 2022.
Since his first appearance on Corrie, he played the character Herb in Hollyoaks back in 2012.
He starred in Home Farm Twins between 1999 and 2000 as Mr. Saunders, and played an U.S.A.F. General in an episode of the Netflix series The Crown in 2016.
