It’s a sad day. Reps have confirmed that Lance Reddick, the charismatic star of countless movies, television shows, and video games, passed away this morning in his Studio City, Los Angeles home. It’s believed to be from natural causes. He was 60.
I’ve long loved Lance Reddick, and he had the innate ability to make anything he was in better. The Baltimore born Yale graduate appeared in such hit television shows as “Oz”, “Fringe”, “Bosch”, and “The Wire”. He’s been a signature voice in the popular video game franchise “Destiny” since 2014. But he’s probably best known for his reoccurring role in each of the “John Wick” films. He played Charon, the scene-stealing concierge at the Continental Hotel in New York City. Just recently he had been doing press tours for the upcoming fourth installment due in theaters next week.
Lance Reddick is survived by his wife, Stephanie Reddick and his children, Yvonne Nicole Reddick and Christopher Reddick.
Man, I just found out about the news 30 minutes ago. This makes me sad. Now I will see John Wick 4 in honor of him.
I’ve always liked him. And no matter the size of the role he played, he always brought charisma and class to a scene. Man this one stings.
Sad news. He always seemed to play a part that no one else would fit nearly as well. Loved him in Fringe.
Really really sad news. I’ve always enjoyed him regardless of where he appeared.
I didn’t recognize him from that top image. He didn’t often have a smile with his teeth showing. I adored him in The Wire and also liked him in the John Wick movies. I do not remember him being in Oz but it’s been a very long time since seeing that. For some reason I thought he was African. He will be sorely missed in the world of TV and film 😦 Too young to pass on.
Too young for sure. He brought such gravitas and grace. And that unmissable voice!
Wow this sucks. Some names hit me harder than others, it’s wrong of me to say that but it’s just true. And yeah, like you said, this one stings indeed.
Oh I know what you mean. Not at all a slight against anyone else. It’s just some people resonate with us in special ways. He was that kind of presence for me.
Oh no, that’s sad. 60 is far too young for ‘natural causes’.
Yep. For sure.
This is so sad. He was way too young for “natural causes” and he was such a great actor. I will miss him.
I know. 60-years-old. Sigh…..
