The stat game? This lie? Its what ruined this department. Shining up shit and calling it gold so majors become colonels and mayors become governors. Pretending to do police work while one generation fucking trains the next on how not to do the job.

I just sat through John wicks past week. This dude portrayed the bad ass clergyman so well. Next level class, fuck this is kind of heartbreaking 60 is too young.

This is really unfortunate. He was a great actor.

The first time I remember noticing him and loving his performance was in Fringe. He was so wonderful in everything, though.

What a loss.

This man was a standout in everything he has done, and he has done a lot. His IMDb page of roles is longer than most veteran actors of his age. From movies, TV, and video games he was everywhere and so many of us will miss his iconic voice and presence.

Bosch is one of my favorite shows. He was amazing in that show. RIP to an amazing actor.

Oh Bosch is an absolutely fantastic show, greatly underrated in my opinion. The follow up series looks to be on par. He was fantastic in Bosch of course as with every role I saw him in. RIP

Sad. 60 feels so young still.

It is young for sure considering it’s almost 2 decades short of the average male life expectancy. I just turned 31 and it’s crazy to think that when he was my age, his life was more than half over and he didn’t even know it.

It is young. Considering we don’t know the cause of death yet, there is one thing none of us can fight and that is genetics.

Total speculation, but hereditary cardiac conditions will many times hit you hardest in midlife if not treated aggressively. Some people don’t even know is that bad until is too late. Bob Harper, the weigh loss coach, had a massive heart attack at 52. Super fit and healthy from his lifestyle, but the disease ran through his family line.

Sad loss, RIP.

Maybe there is a paradox where otherwise very healthy people are more likely to die from unexpected problems since they don't tend to go to the doctor

My husband died of a massive MI at 49. Combination of bad genes and not the healthiest lifestyle. He ran marathons in his 30s, though.

ICantThinkOfANameBud t1_jcpnixm wrote

People in my family tend to die in their 50's. Both of my maternal grandparents died at 55, uncle died at 59, moms uncle died at 54, aunt dead at 57. My father is 55 and my mother is 53 now. They take care of themselves better than the rest of the family who died (no drinking, they eat healthier, both quit smoking, etc) but my father also just found out he's diabetic. Every time either of them gets a cough I find myself thinking "shit, is this it?". I am not ready to bury my parents. My mother was only 31 or so when she buried both of her parents, which is the age I am now.

He was kinda the last character voice actor I cared about in d2.

Also he'd occasionally do shoutouts to the community for expansions or day1's. I'll miss him.

And of course this: https://youtu.be/lsITdmEEinU

This made me so incredibly sad when I found out today. And once more, the reality of life hit me like a hammer. One second, you're here, the next second you're not. Just the day before, he was posting things on Twitter about his dogs, and he looked cheery and ok.

I absolutely loved him since Fringe. He had such an interesting presence and an amazing voice. He was still so young.

Fringe is where I first came to love him as an actor. Destiny & Destiny 2 is where I have continued to love him for the past decade.

Was watching an episode of Fringe when I saw this post. Gutted to be sure, this guy was awesome.

In reading about him I found that he released an album, Contemplations and Remembrances. Found it on Spotify, and while I'm not one to speak ill of the dead, especially a guy so awesome as Lance - but holy hell it was awful.

Let him have his 'Leonard Nimoy's Ballad of Bilbo Baggins' moment. He excelled at everything else.

authentic_mirages t1_jcn58ot wrote

He first got into acting hoping it would be his stepping stone to a music career. Definitely earned his Nimoy moment.

This hurts, I loved Reddick in all his roles. The Wire, Fringe, and Bosch were all amazing shows and he was my favorite in all of them. I need to do a Fringe re-watch in his honor.

They just started replaying it on HLN last week! I’d been wanting to see it again for years but it was never available.

Saw this on the news and was a bit shocked. Sad to hear he passed. He always brought a presence to any role he played, that I just adored.

Woke up 2 hours earlier than usual this morning before I read of his death and watched the first 2 episodes of the Wire. I dont even know why. A couple hours later I hop on reddit and read of his death.

I only find out we share a birthday after he has passed. I am really upset, I loved fringe and the wire. He was great in those roles and it is really upsetting to see someone die at only 60.

Michael Cera and Mike Pence have the same birthday too, and Mulmar Ghadafi supposedly shares the date too but it isn’t certain.

Watched him on many shows over the years and movies, but his acting in fringe was my favourite, dude just sunk his teeth into that role and made it so memorable, i recently saw anna torv on the last of us and it reminded me of how much i missed the show and i was very excited to see John wick and now it would be sad that it will be probably the last time i see him on screen
