The body of the star, best known for his work on The Wire and John Wick, was reportedly discovered at his Studio City home on Friday morning.

Reddick plays Charon in the franchise.


The premiere for John Wick 4 was held Wednesday, but Reddick had posted on social media a video of himself and his dogs.

The star will also play the Greek god Zeus in the upcoming Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians.


It’s unclear at this stage whether he completed his work on the show.


He also appeared on the big screen in Angel Has Fallen, Godzilla vs. Kong, and many more movies.


He also appeared and provided the voice and likeness for video game characters martin Hatch in Quantum Break, Sylens in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West, and Commander Zavala in the Destiny franchise.


Reddick was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland.


He earned a music degree from the University of Rochester and got his MFA from Yale.


May Lance Reddick rest in peace.
