Truly shocking news today, as it’s being reported that actor Lance Reddick, a staple of the John Wick franchise from the beginning, has passed away at just 60 years old.
TMZ reports, “Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Lance’s body was discovered at his Studio City home Friday morning around 9:30 AM. His cause of death is currently unclear, but our law enforcement sources say it appears to be natural.”
In addition to the John Wick movies, which saw him play the role of Charon – the fourth film will be released this year – Lance Reddick also recently appeared in Netflix’s short-lived “Resident Evil” television series, stealing the entire show as iconic character Albert Wesker. Reddick humorously ended up playing four different versions of the character in the series.
Lance Reddick is also known for his roles in the TV shows “The Wire,” “Fringe,” “Oz,” Lost,” and “Bosch,” with his film roles including New York Undercover, Great Expectations, I Dreamed of Africa, Don’t Say a Word, Jonah Hex, White House Down, Oldboy (2013), The Guest, Faults, The Domestics, Monster Party, Angel Has Fallen, Faith Based, and Godzilla vs. Kong.
Reddick has also been seen in “American Horror Story: Coven” and “Apocalypse” as Papa Legba, and he voiced characters for video games in the Destiny and Horizon franchises.
Lance Reddick memorably played the Continental’s concierge Charon in all four John Wick movies to date, making his final film appearance in John Wick: Chapter 4 later this month.
We send our deepest condolences to Lance Reddick’s friends and family at this time.
