He was great in The Wire. He could steal a scene without saying a word.

Wow! He played a hotel manager in John Wick. Not an ordinary manager. He managed a sanctuary hotel. No business was allowed to be done there. RIP _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Damn this really sucks. Crazy talented man. Was a good musician, too, but of course he'll be remembered for his acting roles. Lost and Fringe are two of my favorite shows ever. Though his role in Lost turned out to be small, he's very fondly remembered by the legion of Lost fans for his role as Abaddon. Lost was so popular that it sent him to another level of recognition. In fact, the Abaddon role was supposed to turn into a series regular, but then the opportunity to play Agent Broyles on Fringe came around and he went with that instead. (Of course, both shows were intertwined with the presence of JJ Abrams.)
He just had an incredible presence and gravitas. He had a commanding voice and he could convey a lot with a mere facial expression. A TV critic on Twitter beautifully said that Reddick had an ability to take authoritative characters that are so often portrayed simply, and turned them into human beings with depth. He will be greatly missed. |

One of the greatest voices and character actors in TV. Really loved his work in the Wire and Fringe.
Really shocking to hear this news. RIP |

Lost and Fringe are the shows I associate with him most. He's done a grip of voice over works for video games too. My favorite was Sylens in Horizon Zero dawn...his voice was perfect for it.
I think I'm going to re-watch Fringe.
RIP @ only 60 years young. _________________ KOBE |

He and Michael K Williams were 2 of the top men in their field, and that's considering absolutely everyone. _________________ http://chickhearn.ytmnd.com/

Wow! Lance Reddick isn't someone I would have predicted an early death. It will be sad watching JW4 knowing this was his last role.
He will be missed. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant |
