Lance Reddick, a calm and collected yet imposing presence in a variety of film and TV roles, died Friday at age 60.
The prolific actor was versed in playing intense authority figures, including his breakout role as Lt. Cedric Daniels in "The Wire," Homeland Security Special Agent Phillip Broyles in "Fringe," hotel concierge Charon in the "John Wick" franchise and mysterious agent Matthew Abaddon, who got people to "where they needed to be," in "Lost."
He also lent his unmistakable voice to video games (most notably as Cmdr. Zavala in Bungie's "Destiny" and "Destiny 2") and animated series ("The Legend of Vox Machina," "Paradise PD" and "The Vindicators").
Below is a selection of roles that show Reddick at his best, along with where to view them.
