Mister Truth has reached out to reps for the actor.
Just one day before his death, Reddick shared a sweet Instagram post about his four dogs. He was seen sitting on a couch with the pets rallied around him. The post was a sponsorship with his upcoming film John Wick 4 and Hard Rock hotels. “On screen and off, it’s no surprise I love spoiling my dogs,” he wrote in the caption.
The comments of his most recent Instagram post were flooded by fans offering grief and condolences to Reddick’s loved ones.
Reddick was in the middle of a press tour for the film — which is scheduled to premiere on March 24.
Ben Stiller shared one of the first tributes to his late costar, writing, “Lance Reddick was an beautiful and compelling actor. And a beautiful person.”
Stiller continued, sharing that Reddick had “worked with my mom Anne Meara in her play Afterplay, playing Raziel, the waiter slash angel of death. He was exquisite in that and all he did.”
“Nothing is lost,” Stiller concluded, adding a blue heart emoji.
Alongside his role as Charon in the John Wick series, Reddick is known for his television roles in Resident Evil, Bosch, Lost, Oz and The Wire, in which he played Cedric Daniels. His film credits include Godzilla vs. Kong, One Night in Miami and White House Down, to name a few.
At the time of his death, Reddick had a list of projects in development including his role of Zeus in 2024’s Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, the Jack Harlow-led White Men Can’t Jump reboot, Shirley, St. Sebastian and the John Wick spinoff Ballerina.
