I just found out about it. He was amazing on The Wire, but I had initially encountered him as Sylens in Horizon Zero: Dawn. The man was absolutely jacked on The Wire and looked to be in good shape since. I have no idea how he died so young.
The only way we can ever solve anything is to look in the mirror and find no enemy
I'm actually fething enraged by this. He was 60 and in seemingly excellent health. There is no reason for him to be dead.
I would trade my life for his in a heartbeat, the man was an excellent actor with incredible reach. His life should not be over now.

I can't believe this one, came outta nowhere. He was such a damned good actor and brought such a presence to his roles. He was great in Bosch and anything I saw him in.

Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?

While some parts of the world are in a hysterical meltdown over the mere thought of a drag act, we will mourn a kind, brave, defiant and outrageously funny soul.
Cause of Death for Lance Reddick released, for those that were curious and as flabbergasted as I was :
heart disease was responsible for his passing; specifically, Reddick had Ischemic Heart Disease and Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease.

What's honestly sad (IMHO) is the number of people jumping on the vaccine conspiracy bandwagon. In the bit of googling I've done these past few minutes, I've seen one article from the "american college of cardiology" (so, I'd reckon an organization that is at least somewhat reputable given that it is one of the major professional associations that cardiologists can be a part of) stating that getting actual covid increases the risk of Ischemic Heart Disease and other forms of heart disease. . . but then probably about 99 articles touting conspiracy theory, or lambasting the conspiracy theorists. Of course, Mr. Reddick wasn't the most out there with personal stuff celebrity out there, so it makes sense that I haven't seen anything about a past covid diagnosis (we can extrapolate that he was vaccinated given he was working recently)

😮, have some self respect for your own life, unless you’re his parent or significant other you shouldn’t give your life for his no matter how great he was as an actor.

Saw reports that Al Jaffee, of Mad Magazine passed at 102.
Loved reading Mad growing up, one of 2 comic books I collected and read. So many good memories, and probably twisted my sense of humor in the best ways.
Damn, I went through a phase of reading Mad Magazine pretty obsessively when I was about 12, so over 30 years ago now. Remember his work well. Good innings.
