William Bludworth is a fictional character in the Final Destination film series, portrayed by Tony Todd.

Despite not physically appearing in Final Destination 3, Todd does make a cameo, voicing a devil as part of a theme park attraction at the start of the film.

In the first film, Alex Browning and Clear Rivers sneak inside the morgue to glimpse at Tod Waggner's corpse.

In this film, he is seen as a coroner who the characters encounter several times, and informs them only that by taking a life can they live, for they will receive the lifespan of the person they've killed.

Writer Glen Morgan initially wanted Todd for the role for his deep voice that would give the film an eerie tone.

Joe Leydon of Variety complimented his performance, saying that "Todd --- an old hand at scary stories after the "Candyman" series --- overplays with enough relish to position himself as a probable returnee for a Final Destination 2".

described Todd's wry and sinister portrayal "has crafted one of the genre's most memorable characters in recent memory, though he's only appeared twice for about five total minutes in the series.

[9] Kayla Turner of Screen Rant ranked Bludworth as the best character in the Final Destination series due to his mysterious yet compelling portrayal, as well as the complexity he added to the narrative.
