Prolific actor Lance Reddick, known for his roles in the John Wick franchise as well as the Horizon and Destiny games, has died at the age of 60.
According to his publicist, the performer “passed away suddenly” of natural causes in his Los Angles home.
Aside from John Wick, Reddick was perhaps best known for his roles as Cedric Daniels in the HBO series The Wire, Phillip Broyles in sci-fi series Fringe and Irvin Irving in the Amazon Prime series Bosch.
Reddick was no stranger to video game acting, notably portraying Sylens in the Horizon series, Martin Hatch in Remedy, and Microsoft’s 2016 action-adventure, Quantum Break. Reddick reprised his role as the concierge of the Continental Hotel, Charon in the 2019 video game adaptation John Wick Hex.

He spent nearly a decade in the role of Commander Zavala across both Destiny games and their many expansions. Players have been gathering around Zavala in the game and using emotes to commemorate the late actor.
