john Wick actor Lance Reddick dies, aged 60

Actor Lance Reddick, best known for his work on HBO’s “The Wire” and the “John Wick” movie franchise, died Friday. He was 60.

The actor died of natural causes Friday morning, his rep Mia Hansen said in a statement on Friday.

“Lance will be greatly missed,” Hansen said.

The actor had been recently doing interviews for his role in John Wick: Chapter 4, released next week. Earlier this week, he chose not to attend the film’s New York premiere.

Reddick was perhaps best known for his turn as respected police officer Cedric Daniels on Baltimore crime drama “The Wire.” The actor starred in all five seasons of the series as the lawyer-turned-lieutenant, leading the Baltimore Police Department’s narcotics team of detectives, including Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West) and Kima Greggs (Sonja Sohn), in their work targeting local drug trafficker Avon Barksdale (Wood Harris).
