A Big Loss for Movies & TV
Lance Reddick had such a distinctive on-screen presence, possessing a fierce intensity and a commanding air. Every character he inhabited was a memorable one. But he also seemed to never take himself too seriously, having appeared in humorous videos for comedy outlets like Funny or Die and Adult Swim.
In addition to starring in hits like The Wire, his television work included roles in Fringe, Oz, and Bosch. His non-John Wick movie appearances encompassed popular films like Angel Has Fallen and 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong.
Reddick had been in the acting business for over 30 years. He leaves behind a wife, Stephanie, and two children, Yyvonne and Christopher. He will also have a posthumous role as Zeus in Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+.
