Wonder what happened. I'm guessing a heart attack or something but that man was fit as hell.

I feel better that someone else thought that too. My second reaction after the sadness was "but wait, dude was like a Greek god, what the gently caress."

Just terrible, terrible news. Shocked he was 60 since he always looked younger, even more shocked that he died as young as that given what incredible shape he was in. Far too soon, what a tragedy. He was great in everything but his performance as Daniels was sublime.

What a beautiful voice. I have just recently listened to a Batman podcast where Lance played Thomas Wayne. He was perfect for the role.

The show started to suck by this point but I'll never forget the couple of episodes he was in Lost. Just a really dark presence and could have done so much more in that show but he left because of other commitments.

I guess some of the last things we’ll get to see him in are John Wick 4 (which by all accounts is very good) and Ballerina (the John Wick spin off with Ana De Armas) so a couple good things for him to go out on.

Unfortunately, also posthumously in the remake of White Men Can’t Jump starring Jack Harlow. Soooo, there’s that I guess.

He also recorded a bunch of dialogue for the game Destiny 2 that hasn't been used yet, apparently.

He apparently really got into the game itself, too, and really liked playing that role. What a champ he was, and what another reminder that if god is real he has no sense of justice

Don't you tell me my business again.
Reddick's range was incredible. If you watched The Wire and also The Corner, the two characters couldn't be more different (police captain v. paroled crack addict) but Lance's approach loving nails both of them. Jamie Hector is like this too. His performance in WOTC is so far removed from Marlo Stanfield it's hard to believe it's the same actor.

And since I mentioned The Corner, everyone should watch it.

It's up on YT for free (in low quality), or at least it was a year ago. It's really loving wild how Simon basically takes all the same performers and then totally reassigns all of their roles. It's like he threw all the actors' names and characters into a fishbowl and then gave everyone a random person to play but every single one does a great job and comes off so different.

Is there anywhere to see it in decent quality? Can't believe it's not on HBO Max. Might have to get a loving DVD.

Outside of a DVD set or something, no, I don't believe it's available in any better quality than you'd find on Youtube.

Iirc (and I very well may be misinformed; take it with a grain of salt), Simon simply didn't want to update the original product to HD and (probably more importantly) widescreen format. And because The Corner doesn't have the wide recognition that The Wire does, HBO just kind of let it go. It's quasi-abandoned intellectual property.

But regardless of the cause, The Corner never got modernized like other HBO shows from that era were. On the upside, what you can find on Youtube doesn't look to be terrible quality or anything (it's just in 4:3 and a little fuzzy on full screen), and I doubt HBO is going to suddenly kick up a copyright stink over it.

IIRC Reddick originally auditioned for Bubbles.

I'd like to have seen that. I never watched the Corner so maybe it's there, but I have a hard time imagining that kind of weakness and vulnerability from Reddick. This is right up there with "John C. Reilly as McNulty" and "Ed O'Neill as Al Swearengen on Deadwood" on my list of things I'd love to see imo.
