The Baltimore touched many hearts through his work and soul, both within and outside of the entertainment world.

The tragic and sudden loss of Lance Reddick shocked the world on Friday (March 17). The 60-year-old actor was doing press for his upcoming film John Wick 4 recently, and cast-mate Keanu Reeves was one of many, many fellow entertainers who posted their tributes to Lance Reddick. Moreover, the Baltimore native is perhaps best known for his role as Cedric Daniels in HBO's The Wire, a role that garnered him immense acclaim. However, he also starred in multiple film, TV, and video game projects. The many friends in the business who shared their heartfelt goodbyes speaks to the magnitude and positive impact of his art and soul.

"We are deeply saddened and heartbroken at the loss of our beloved friend and colleague Lance Reddick,' Reeves stated alongside Chad Stahelski, John Wick 4's director. "He was the consummate professional and a joy to work with. Our love and prayers are with his wife Stephanie, his children, family and friends. We dedicate the film to his loving memory. We will miss him dearly." Another industry colleague to honor Reddick was film creative James Gunn. "Lance Reddick was an incredibly nice guy, and an incredibly talented actor," he tweeted. "This is heartbreaking. My love goes out to all his family, friends, and collaborators."
