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.”

The Only Version of Return of the King Worth Watching Missing From Max After Streaming Bug

Screenshot: Warner Bros. Bad news for Max subscribers who’ve made re-watching The Lord of the Rings extended editions an annual New Year tradition: the third film in the trilogy, The Return of the King — which just celebrated its 20th anniversary! —is only available to stream in its theatrical version. No ancient evil is to blame, thankfully; it’s an unspecified “tech issue,” according to a Max spokesperson who responded to a comment request from Vulture after the issue was noted by dismayed fans on Reddit . The fact that The Return of the King extended edition is merely temporarily unavailable is actually good news given Max’s track record for removing content in the past, and the explanation makes sense considering The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers remain available in both their theatrical and extended editions. The Max spokesperson assured Vulture that The Return of the King extended edition will be, ah, returning soon to the service, though as of this writing i...

That’s right, a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza has mysteriously appeared in Hollywood. Like in the game and upcoming film, it’s a run-down spot that’s been closed down due to some mysterious activity within. Unfortunately, you can’t actually go in unless you’re hired as a security guard (kidding)—it’s just a facade for photo-ops you can visit. Check out the video captured by deadboifilms on TikTok below at the location on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood (near the Chateau Marmont Hotel). If you want to encounter the animatronic band of fuzzy and totally friendly creatures from the game, you’ll have to visit Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights, there’s a walk-through in the DreamWorks theater lobby that’s been taken over by Blumhouse which features the real Jim ...
