Lance Reddick, the iconic actor playing in HBO's The Wire, John Wick and voicing Horizon's Sylens and Destiny's Zavala, has reportedly passed away at 60.
This sad news comes via The Daily Mail and TMZ with the latter reporting that law enforcement has told the outlet that the body of the American actor was found at his Studio City home earlier this morning. Although the cause of death is unclear, TMZ reports that it appears to be a natural cause. The Daily Mail writes that the actor posted a picture of himself with his dog on Instagram only yesterday.
Aside from playing in HBO's popular The Wire series, Reddick was known for portraying Phillip Broyles in J. J. Abrams' popular science-fiction TV series, Fringe. Fans will remember the iconic actor as Charon - the concierge at the Continental Hotel's New York City establishment - in the John Wick series. The actor was currently doing a press tour for John Wick: Chapter 4 ahead of the movie's debut next week.
As said, gamers will know Reddick was his role as Sylens in both Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West. Back in September of last year, the actor took to Twitter to seemingly tease a motion capture session for Forbidden West DLC - the Burning Shores expansion for Forbidden West was officially announced in December of last year.
Destiny players will remember Reddick from voicing Commander Zavala - the Awoken Guardian and current Titan Vanguard of The Tower.
In addition to the above roles, Reddick also did the motion capture and voice performance for Martin Hatch in Remedy's Quantum Break.
