Camden Toy, ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ actor, dead at 68

Camden Toy, the actor who portrayed many monsters and villains on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” has died. He was 68.

A rep for Toy confirmed his passing to The Post on Wednesday, claiming he died after a private two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. 

He leaves behind his mother, sister and longtime partner, Bethany Henderson.

On Dec. 8, Henderson wrote on Facebook that Toy was diagnosed with the disease in February 2022 after “months of mysterious pain.”

“His condition has declined a lot in the last 2 months and tremendously in the last several days,” she added.

Toy played some of “Buffy’s” eeriest monsters on the series, including as one of the Gentlemen in Season 4 and Gnarl and Ubervamp in Season 7.

He also appeared in an episode of “Angel,” the show’s spinoff series, as the Prince of Lies. 

Additionally, Toy had acting credits on TV shows including “Goodnight Burbank,” “The Mentalist,” “The League” and “Shameless.”

He also had a recurring role as Igor Chambers on the soap opera “The Bay.”

“Camden was always such a talent and joy to work with,” Gregori J. Martin, producer of “The Bay,” said in a statement from Toy’s obituary. “It’s no wonder he was a fan favorite on ‘The Bay.’ I am so grateful for the times I got to work with him and will certainly cherish those memories.”

Juliet Landau, Toy’s close friend and co-star on “Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” remembered him as a “beautiful soul, a beautiful friend and a beautiful talent.”

“From the first moment we met, I knew he was special,” Landau continued in a statement. “Under the visage of the monster he was made-up to be, shined the kindest of spirits. He’s been a gift in our lives. We will miss him greatly.”

According to his obituary, Toy went back to school and got his MFA in screenwriting before his death.

He had written two TV shows, a feature film and a graphic novel that he hoped would be his legacy.
