NEW YORK (AP) — Lance Reddick, a character actor who specialized in
intense, icy and possibly sinister authority figures on TV and film,
including THE WIRE, FRINGE, and the JOHN WICK franchise, has died. He was
60.

Reddick died "suddenly" Friday morning, his publicist Mia Hansen said in a
statement, attributing his death to natural causes. His death was first
reported by celebrity website TMZ.com.

Reddick was often put in a suit or a crisp uniform during his career,
playing tall taciturn and elegant men of distinction. He was best known for
his role as straight-laced Lt. Cedric Daniels on the hit HBO series THE
WIRE where his character was agonizingly trapped in the messy politics of
the Baltimore police department.

"I'm an artist at heart. I feel that I'm very good at what I do. When I
went to drama school, I knew I was at least as talented as other students,
but because I was a black man and I wasn't pretty, I knew I would have to
work my butt off to be the best that I would be, and to be noticed," he
told the Los Angeles Times in 2009.

Reddick also starred on the Fox series FRINGE as Special Agent Phillip
Broyles, the smartly dressed Matthew Abaddon on LOST and played the
multi-skilled Continental Hotel concierge Charon in the JOHN WICK movies,
including the fourth in the series opening this month

He earned a SAG Award nomination in 2021 as part of the ensemble for Regina
King's film ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI. Reddick played recurring roles on
INTELLIGENCE and AMERICAN HORROR STORY and was on the show BOSCH for its
seven-year run.

They said he died of "natural causes" so you might have to look
elsewhere for sources of mental masturbation. Oh, and you can "look
fit" and still suffer from cardiovascular disease. I'm sure your
medical training taught you that.
