I really enjoyed this dudes skills and body of work, he was still very underrated
I wish someone would have done a Shaka Zulu remake years ago he would have been a perfect cast maybe 20 years ago...RIP to him condolences to his family.
I wonder did he make it long enough to be in the latest J. Wick flick....sad either way.

Lance Reddick: The Projects The Actor Left Behind

The industry is still reeling from the sudden passing of Lance Reddick. However, his eloquent presence will continue on in several upcoming film and TV projects which the prolific actor had completed before his death at age 60.
Over the past week, Reddick had been doing interviews in support of John Wick: Chapter 4, the final film in the blockbuster Keanu Reeves action series. The film, which will now be dedicated to the late actor, opens next week and is projected to debut to a franchise high of $70M at the domestic boxoffice. In it, Reddick reprises his role as Charon, the concierge of New York’s Continental Hotel.
Reddick also recently played Charon in the John Wick spinoff The Ballerina, headlined by Ana de Armas. He finished all of his scenes in the movie, for which Lionsgate hasn’t set a release date yet.
Deadline in January exclusively revealed Reddick’s casting in the Kiefer Sutherland-led film The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial from Paramount Global Content Distribution for Showtime. Reddick completed all work, playing Captain Blakely, chief judge of the court-martial, in the production, which has wrapped. Originally written in 1951 by Herman Wouk, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial is being retold for modern times, and follows the United States Navy while on trial for mutiny.
Reddick also soon will be seen starring as Zeus in the high-profile new Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which has completed production on its first season. The project tells the fantastical story of a 12-year-old modern demigod, Percy Jackson, who’s just coming to terms with his newfound supernatural powers when the sky god Zeus accuses him of stealing his master lightning bolt.
Starting May 19, Reddick will be seen in the Hulu reboot of the 20th Century Studios White Men Can’t Jump reboot. Jack Harlow plays the role originated by Woody Harrelson and Sinqua Walls plays the part previously portrayed by Wesley Snipes. Reddick plays Benji Allen, the father and coach of Walls’ character, who is living with MS.
Additionally, Reddick stars alongside Regina King in John Ridley’s upcoming Shirley Chisholm biopic Shirley about America’s first Black congresswoman. Reddick plays Chisholm’s campaign manager, Wesley MacDonald “Mac” Holder. We hear the film is eyeing a year-end release date.
“We are deeply saddened and heartbroken at the loss of our beloved friend and colleague Lance Reddick,” Reeves and John Wick filmmaker Chad Stahelski said in a statement today. “He was the consummate professional and a joy to work with. Our love and prayers are with his wife Stephanie, his children, family and friends. We dedicate the film to his loving memory. We will miss him dearly.”
Said Ian McShane, who plays Winston in the John Wick films, “Total shock and disbelief. Lance was a wonderful human being and a wonderful colleague. My deepest condolences, peace and love to his wife, Stephanie, and all his family.”

Damn. RIP, this brother was an amazing actor and had such a great screen presence. From The Wire, to Fringe, all the way to John Wick (amongst all the other fantastic work), what a goddamn legend. Dude always seemed so fit for his age too, life is fragile as hell... don't play like we have forever.

THANKS famo. Good post.
His cross over appeal was crazy because he is the rock center of EVERY project he’s in, no matter the size of the role and quite literally brought real gravitas to The Continental as a viable idea. His very existence as a character makes the whole underground world of John Wick believable.
Although most people know him from that series and we know him from The Wire but the geeks know him from his voice work and the nerds know him from Fringe.
My fam was at a rap show last night for a few locals rappers and he said one kid said RIP Mr Reddick - Lt. Daniels and the whole crowd cheered. He was shocked the crowd knew who that was. He said the anti-vaxxer’s in the club started chanting and the host of the show told them to stop that shit.
I dunno why this one stings a bit. No controversy. No gay or feminine shit. No drama. No nigga shit for white folks to talk about. Everyone loved this man and his work… and them boom… gone…
60 seems so old but not anymore, it sure feels too soon.
oNE
Great point about real gravitas and believability.
You’re welcome for the links. His crossover appeal - in both larger and smaller roles.
Thanks for the note about your fam’ at the show. That shows the importance of The Wire considering it began airing just over 20 years ago and the average age at the concert would have probably been younger to middle-aged.
Like you said - when we’re young 60 seems old, but it definitely isn’t as we all hit middle-aged and up. And it was good to see the comments from castmates and fellow Hollywood celebs about him being a class act and solid talent.
Condolences to his family indeed.
Why No One Played the Boss Like Lance Reddick
