The Hollywood Reporter revealed 27-year-old actor Chance Perdomo has died following a motorcycle accident.
Born October 19, 1996, Perdomo made his acting debut in the 2016 short film Longfield Drive. The following year, he jumped over to TV as Henry Goodall in the Canadian series Hetty Feather before taking on small bit parts in other series. His breakout role came with Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina as Ambrose Spellman, followed by a regular role as Andre Anderson for The Boys’ spinoff Gen V over at Prime Video.
“[Chance’s] passion for the arts and insatiable appetite for life was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth will carry on in those who he loved dearest,” said his reps in a statement. “We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.”
In their own statement, the Gen V producers were blindsided to hear of Perdomo’s passing. “For those of us who knew him and worked with him, Chance was always charming and smiling,” they wrote. “[He was] an enthusiastic force of nature, an incredibly talented performer, and more than anything else, just a very kind, lovely person. Even writing about him in the past tense doesn’t make sense. We are so sorry for Chance’s family, and we are grieving the loss of our friend and colleague. Hug your loved ones tonight.”
“The entire Gen V family is devastated by the sudden passing of Chance Perdomo,” wrote fellow producers Amazon MGM and Sony Pictures TV. “[We] extend our heartfelt thoughts and support to Chance’s family and all who loved him at this difficult time.”
