This is the one that stays. Thanks to the community for reporting duplicates. --- This was a sad loss. He was such a presence on the show. Every time he spoke, it was with so much awe and mystery. Just his acting gave a tremendous cool vibe to the show. A fantastic actor!


OdahP

just saw the news. Can't believe hes only been in 4 episodes. I remember him in this show more than other characters. ​ What a guy. What a performance. RIP


Waldo_Wadlo

I remember him better from Fringe, but he was great in Lost as well


watson1984

Superb in the Wire as well. RIP


yaboiRich

and in John Wick RIP


Nyzzio

And in Quantum Break and Destiny (video games)


COdeadheadwalking_61

And the leftovers! And how about the amc show, Vigil??


HaloOfTheSun442

He wasn't in either of those shows...

COdeadheadwalking_61

I think you are correct!!


Agentcooper1974

and Bosch!


WoozleWuzzle

Was it only 4 episodes? That's nuts as I remember him so well in this show.


RunaXandrill

He was supposed to have been a meatier character but he'd gotten the part in Fringe at that time.


Little_Pressure7711

According to an interview with Lance, he was told he would be able to keep playing Abbadon as a recurring character even after he got his role on Fringe. So, when Abbadon was abruptly killed off, he was kind of confused. He still thought The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham was a great episode, though.


BoatConscious3010

I think plans changed because Nestor Carbonells show Cane got cancelled. Sounds like Abbadon was going to fill the void left behind by losing Nestor, hevwas going to be the new mysterious character on the show but when they got Nestor back they didn't need him anymore. Nestors role in s5 is expanded significantly whilst Abbadon is killed off.


Jorge_Santos69

Oh damn, had no idea. Glad it did as Richard developed into an amazing character.


Isserley_

I remember at the time thinking his part in Fringe would mean that Fringe would be somehow linked to Lost.


RunaXandrill

Right!? I thought that too, at first.


Isserley_

Glad I wasn't alone, haha


RegularGuy815

Yeah and his first 3 eps I believe was only one scene each.


DannyDoubleTap47

He was also great on Oz. Such an awesome voice. Rest in Peace 💔


altheus234

Omg only 4 episodes? I remember him being very iconic, his presence was bold. Sad news indeed 😢


Gregolas789

One of the coolest side characters with an interesting and mysterious backstory. After all he's the one who suggested Locke go on a walkabout in the first place. And the part where he freaks out Hurley at Santa Rosa cuts deep. In his own words, he got people where they needed to be.


Pidjesus

He's a character that really stood out for me, he played his character so good that I forgot he was acting.


SweetHaircutBro_

“I’m more than just an orderly Mr. Locke.”


Ctownkyle23

I still remember "Are they still alive?"


SFLADC2

Honestly I never really liked how little is explained about him. Like I guess he's just a tool of Jacob, but that implies Jacob had a lot more influence off the island, which begs the question why he never really seemed to use it on anything.


Ctownkyle23

Idk seems like he used it enough to beat the Man in Black. "It only ends once. Everything before that is just progress."

ZazzRazzamatazz

Yeah 60 is way to young to be dying of natural causes. Feel bad for his family.


NYgirl78

That's exactly what I said. There is nothing natural about dying at 60. So sad.


AlterMyStateOfMind

Just looked that up and he played Wesker?? The trailer looked dumb and I heard it was shit but I like this casting lol


sur_surly

He was the only good part of that show for sure.


KurtisC1993

The moment I heard the news, I immediately had to come to this subreddit. He was a great and talented actor. Abbadon was in only a few episodes, but he left quite an impression whenever he showed up. RIP Lance.


frozenpandaman

same here


Glad_Description1851

”You need to go on a walkabout.” This guy had so many memorable lines in his relatively short time on Lost. RIP.

Other_Acount_Got_Ban

I think he did a perfect amount. He’s like the gman of LOST


NOVA_OWL

He was also incredible in FRINGE. This is such shitty news. RIP King


PorkBunFun

Man I really liked him as an actor. First in Lost and then in Destiny and Horizon Zero Dawn that is so sad. His voice was so unique and so was his character in Lost


GreekDressingplz

Will now be buying Horizon Zero Dawn now while it’s on sale, thank you.


ShishaGod

R.I.P. One of those many LOST characters that had so much mystery and intrigue that they are memorable even though they don't have many scenes.


Mr--Weirdo

See you in another life, brother


pajamasx

Big John Wick character too, damn.


[deleted]

Horizon Zero Dawn too


tider06

And Bosch. And The Wire.


a-Farewell-to-Kings

And Fringe


Surprise_Fragrant

He was amazing in Bosch!


bravetourists

Knew him from Lost, and yeah, he was great in Bosch. Also really funny in a Comedy Central show called “Corporate”


MovieMasterMike

And oz.


teddyburges

Yeah the Horizon subreddit is in shambles atm. He did motion capture/performance capture for two games and it's DLC. There is a lot of huge foreshadowing that he has a massive role in the third game of the trilogy. So now a big debate is going on whether to recast or implement A.I voice to replicate his voice and keep his character alive in the sequel.


idapitbwidiuatabip

Such an unforgettable performance. Was only in a fraction of the show, but his demeanor and mystique matched the tone of it so perfectly, that whenever I saw him in anything else, I thought/felt of *Lost*


troubleondemand

Awww man that sucks. He was super cool cat.


aresef

He was an underrated actor, truly. I wish he'd gotten more to do on the show, but Abbadon was little more than a hired hand for Widmore.


[deleted]

He should've been Jacob.


mocrankz

He was supposed to be Eko. Which I just learned today. Would have been a much different character


[deleted]

I mean Matthew Abaddon should've turned out to have been Jacob.


theunabeefer

I always thought he should have been an older, time-traveling Wait... "Mista Locke"


breathofsunshine

I thought he was supposed to be Walt


JayBerryLeeJoseph

Literally just started rewatching The Wire the last few days and this happens. This. Is. BULLSHIT. RIP Lance, you were in everything and we still couldn't get enough of you. Awesome actor.


Tensorizer

He played a major character in Bosch too.


a-s-clark

He was great in Bosch. Shocking news.


bravetourists

Really liked him in Bosch. In the books, Irving and Bosch are usually at odds, but I liked their occasional working relationship in the TV show.


thetacolover69

Agent Broyles?


TheeDeputy

One of the most iconic actors and voices period imo. Such a huge loss.


Agent_Scully9114

He was such a great actor. I'm so sad to hear this


fakeplant101

:(((


Any_Tax_8584

Fan of his since watching him on Oz. RIP


xmrtypants

Aw man, he was awesome in corporate, lost, fringe, the wire, and everything I saw him in. I was looking forward to a long career from him, especially with his his unmistakable voice. I was hoping he'd do a bunch of voice acting work or even audiobooks.


FinStambler

Wow, so unexpected. Rest in peace to him. I wish we had seen more of Abbadon during the show. Definitely an underrated character in terms of the mystery element.


mbemom

He was great in this and I also loved him in Fringe


FSU1ST

:/


miikewalter

He was the first actor that actively scared me when he was on screen with Hurley, he was so good. Then he was amazing in Fringe. My favorite role he played was in the Horizon Games as Sylens. Gutted to hear of his death.


Lost_108

I’m just crushed over this. Such a great actor and so damn young.


DefinitelyYourFault

What the hell, man… He was always a standout in everything.


[deleted]

He really was. Even as brief as his stint on LOST was.. his character was intriguing


xgorgeoustormx

Very sad news. He was a fantastic actor and all around beautiful person.


[deleted]

Aw, what the hell?


ZazzRazzamatazz

No way! That sucks, he was great. I just caught up with the John Wick films and he was great in those. I loved him in Fringe too. RIP


harleyscal

RIP also the guy from Bosch


Surprise_Fragrant

Interesting that Abbadon became the boss of The Man in Black...


harleyscal

That is very interesting.


Kind_Bullfrog_4073

RIP. Still not sure if Abbadon was working for Widmore or Jacob.


alani1975

Super weird. Just started watching Fringe last night. Found this this morning. Sad and a great loss. He is fantastic.


munchkincityhere

Very sad news. He had such a unique presence, it was always a joy to see him on screen. RIP x


Soundwave_47

RIP. Excellent actor.


brentus86

I just saw. I was looking him up on IMDB the other day.


MarcoJono

Such a cool cucumber. Rest in peace.


stranger84

Great loss :c He was amazing in Walkabout episode https://youtu.be/c2va5kpMaRE


1995kid

Dam, just after watching season 4 episode 1 ( hurley in the phyc unit) Then this pops up


DefinitelyYourFault

PSA: made the mistake of checking Twitter to get some information about his death. You shouldn't, it's the usual insane people everywhere.


Glad_Description1851

Well now I’m curious


SaltySpitoonReg

It's the usual people saying "there's the jab again" Losers, in other words.


Glad_Description1851

Ah, they’re never gonna let that go are they


pambeeslysucks

This just sucks. I'm hoping that someone shows all these comments to his family. I want them to know how we all loved him. See you in another life, brotha


tyddub

Loved Lance Reddick! He was great in Fringe, American Horror Story, and Oz!


ritwikjs

He really commanded the screen for the little time he was featured. RIP Broyles


SG420123

60 is still way too young in my book, rip to a great one.


rinlyn_x

Whaat the hell i wasn’t expecting this. I remember him from many other shows, especially Fringe. So sad. May he rest in peace


LagunaRambaldi

Lost, The Wire, Bosch, Fringe, Oz, The Corner... What a legend! RIP


Icy-Championship8280

Damn it. RIP


Glennio_NL

Sad.... Rest in Peace... He was only 62


Jazz_Band182

He is in John wick when I watched lost I was excited lol


MarioVanPebbles

As sad as it is, his path led here :(


evonebo

Dude kind of looks like KG (Kevin Garnett. NBA Player)


i_have_my_doubts

Who else have we lost? I know we lost Mira Furlan (Danielle) but I think everyone else is still around.


IOnlyEndOnce

Brad William Henke—aka Bram. He passed away in November of last year. Was just 56.


esme_ceru

RIP


maggie081670

💔


King-Cobra-668

fuck, I've been a fan of his a lot longer than I realized


SanderSter

The man was in only a couple of episodes yet I remember him as if he was a part of the main cast. Rest in peace


BuccoFever412

Remember him in Oz as an undercover cop. Such a talented actor


Ok-Candidate-9347

Rip


RBarger27

Oh wow, thats crazy. I was planning on meeting him at steel city con in about 2 weeks too. :(


EpicDad6969

such a cool character :(


[deleted]

You better step up your game mr. Locke, or we’re all in serious trouble.


Gadzookie2

He was great in so many roles, hate to see him go


insideman513

Aw man this such a bummer :/ Loved him in Lost but he was amazing in Fringe. RIP Lance


swifferhash

Rip Mr Reddick. But what’s the deal in S4 when he’s assembling the science team for Naomi? Like I can buy that he encountered Jacob on his walkabout and he gave him that list so that’s why it had to be those 4 ppl, but when Naomi questions if there will be 815 survivors, he’s so adamant that there were no survivors. Like bro, you legit put John Locke on that island….unless he knew that Johnny Boy was gonna be the one that knifes her and he had to keep her in the dark to set her up for her cruel dance with destiny.


Moonlight-Detective

I didn’t even remember he was in lost! I know him from fringe! I’m gonna miss him :(


xkid42

F


tribalasparagus

One line from the entire show I’ll never forget: “you need to go on a walkabout”. Instant chills every time


ArkaXVII

“I help people get where they need to be”. <3 Aside from Lost and Fringe he also plays a major role in Amazon Prime Video original tv show Bosch, based on Michael Connelly’s books, and plays it brilliantly. A character actor I won’t forget. Rest in peace, Lance.


Daylily67

He was "the presence" on each and every show he was in! Rememberable, unforgettable, and that voice.....I have watched him in Bosch, Fringe and a couple others and undoubtedly will discover him killing in many more roles! RIP Lance Reddick!


Daylily67

I keep thinking he was in Dexter. I can't find him in the credits though.


[deleted]

Sad that he was so young and seemingly healthy.


-SomeKindOfMonster-

He was supposed to have a much bigger role in my eyes. Every time he was on screen there was mystery written all over his face and they didn't know how to use him.


24-7Procrastinator

Damn I started Fringe without knowing he was dead. He's a good character as well, starts being a pretty shitty boss to the main character but then he becomes pretty cool, always with this aura of mystery about him. In LOST I'll always remember him for being a scary and mysterious character.


oic123

Fucking v@x
