Bought tickets to watch John Wick: Chapter 4 this coming Friday, March 24th. :(

I just saw that. Only 60. Way too young. And they said natural causes. Heart attack, maybe? He was really good in the Wick movies as well as other roles. RIP.

It makes me nervous seeing all these people MUCH younger than me kicking the bucket...

Damn. This sucks.

I was planning to watch The Wire soon. People keep telling me it is good. Just haven't found the time.

He was great as Charon in John Wick. He really helped add depth to that movie. I was hoping for an expanded role for Lance Reddick in the John Wick movies. Charon totally kicks ass.

Sad. Saw him in John Wick only but he was one of the few really good actors. The sort who leave an impression on you the first time you see them.

For me, Reddick will always be synonymous with Destiny — he was Commander Zavala. The role showcased his range, too... he could be serious and play the straight man in a funny situation.

He certainly died far too soon. At least we'll have John Wick Chapter 4 and a few other projects to continue his legacy.

They're wrong. The Wire isn't good, it's fantastic.

Black William H Macy.

I know his face, I recognize the quality of his work, never knew his name.
