As reported by TMZ, legendary actor Lance Reddick has passed away in his home at the age of 60. The cause of death is currently unclear, but law enforcement sources told TMZ that it “appears to be natural.”

The news is both tragic and shocking, as Reddick had been in the middle of a press tour for the film John Wick: Chapter 4 in which he plays the character Charon. As noted by TMZ, he was even scheduled to make a guest appearance on The Kelly Clarkson show next week.

Outside of the John Wick films, Reddick has appeared in a multitude of television shows, films, and even video games. Notably, Reddick has served as the voice of iconic Destiny 2 character Commander Zavala, including as recently as the game’s Lightfall expansion.

Reddick shared his passion in voicing Zavala with fans in a number of ways over the years, including in tweets on social media where he honored fan requests to hear the character dig deeper into putting other Destiny 2 characters like Empress Caiatl in their place.

Reddick is not only loved by the Destiny 2 community as the voice of Commander Zavala, he’s also cherished by the Horizon community as well as he’s both the voice and face of Sylens in Zero Dawn and Forbidden West.

Outside of lending his voice and likeness to popular characters in games, Reddick boasts an impressive list of acting credits from portraying Cedric Daniels in The Wire, to Phillip Broyles in Fringe, to recent roles like Albert Wesker in the Resident Evil TV series.
