A man of great strength and grace,

Acclaimed actor Lance Reddick passed away suddenly this morning from natural causes,
publicist Mia Hansen told AFP
We are deeply saddened and heartbroken at the loss of our beloved friend and colleague Lance Reddick,
Chad Stahelski, the director of “John Wick: Chapter Four,” and Reddick’s co-star, Keanu Reeves, said in a joint statement to Deadline
The world of Wick would not be what it is without Lance Reddick and the unparalleled depth he brought to Charon's humanity and unflappable charisma,
Lionsgate, the film's production company, said in a statement
I was never interested in television. I always saw it as a means to an end. Like so many actors, I was only interested in doing theater and film. But ‘Oz’ changed television. It was the beginning of HBO’s reign on quality, edgy, artistic stuff. Stuff that harkens back to great cinema of the ‘60s and ‘70s,
he told The Associated Press in 2011
Lance will be greatly missed,
his publicist, Mia Hansen, said in a statement
Damn… he was such a great guy and a great actor,
he wrote
RIP Lance Reddick. One of my favourite actors and the only person to ever scare Eric Andre. Always gave the performance of his life in anything he was in from John Wick to The Wire to Fringe. He will be dearly missed,

Lance Reddick was an incredibly nice guy, and an incredibly talented actor. This is heartbreaking. My love goes out to all his family, friends, and collaborators,
tweeted James Gunn
Halfway through re-watching THE WIRE comes the news that Lance Reddick has died at the horribly unfair age of 60. Wonderful actor; wonderful man. This is sad news,
tweeted author Stephen King
Loved Lance Reddick in Homicide, Life on the Streets, The Wire and more recently Bosch. He played such interesting parts and with such presence. A great loss,
said another
Lance Reddick is the kind of actor that improved every single project just by being there. This loss is immeasurable. May he rest in peace,
tweeted BJ Colangelo
He was exquisite in that and all he did,
he tweeted
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,
he said at the time
Our deepest condolences go to his beloved family and his fans all around the world,
the statement concluded
On screen and off, it’s no surprise I love spoiling my dogs,
he wrote in the caption of his post on Wednesday
I thought it would be a hit but I didn’t anticipate that it would take so long to catch on, or that it would become this phenomenon,
Reddick told the Guardian
That was the first time fans were really weird. I was living in New York at the time, and it seemed like everybody was stopping me to talk about ‘Lost.’ I went from small, niche notoriety to being completely recognizable,
he said
A consummate professional, a devoted collaborator, a lovely soul and a friend,
he wrote
I can't believe it if I posted this a day ago and he looked healthy and happy with his dogs, life is incredible one day we're here and the next we're not,
one fan commented
Range is always what I’m striving for,
Reddick told the Los Angeles Times in 2019
Intensity is not something I try to do,
he told the Queensland Times of Australia in 2010, “it’s just kind of the way that I am.”
Ever since The Wire,
he told The IMDB Show in a video interview, “I’ve played a lot of intimidating authority figures that talk a lot.”
You made your mark here. RIP,

Nothing is lost,
