Chance Perdomo was born in Los Angeles, California in 1996, but his family relocated to the U.K. when he was a child. Originally planning to study law, Perdomo instead pivoted to acting, moving from his hometown of Southampton to London, where he studied at the Identity School of Acting and joined the National Youth Theatre.
After appearing in several British TV shows, including Midsomer Murders and Hetty Feather, Perdomo came to the attention of Hollywood when he starred as Ambrose Spellman in the Netflix supernatural horror series The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. He subsequently joined the After series of movies at Netflix, starring as Landon Gibson in After We Fell in 2021, After Ever Happy in 2022, and After Everything in 2023.
His latest role was as Andre Anderson in Prime Video’s The Boys spin-off series Gen V. In the series, Andre’s superpower is having magnetic manipulation capabilities. The second season of Gen V was green-lit in October 2023, with filming expected to commence soon, but has now been “indefinitely” delayed as everyone involved comes to terms with the tragic and unexpected loss of the actor who was pivotal in the series, and is going to be a huge loss to both the show and the industry.
