Yeah, whoa. I mean... I know death comes when it comes, but this seemed ultra unexpected (like, dude was only 60, seemed like he was in great shape, etc.). Was just reading an interview w/ him re: John Wick 4, wtf. 

damn. RIP. so good in eveything. The Wire of course.. but back in the day shows like Fringe and stuff. 

bummer.

They gave Lance Reddick top billing in John Wick 4 at the premiere,  pretty cool.
