Reddick made waves across TV starring in shows like The Wire and Fringe, and is perhaps most recently known for his supporting role as Charon in the John Wick series. In the world of games, he also played Commander Zavala, the stalwart leader of The Last City and its Guardians in Destiny. Zavala has, over the years, grown from a by-the-by commander into a fixture of the game, a fan-favorite character, and a sort of father figure to many, due in no small part to Reddick’s incredible performance, which has seen the character through momentous personal highs and lows. Earlier today, Bungie released a statement on Reddick’s passing, writing he was, “an iconic presence on screen” as well as someone who “radiated kindness that touched those around him.”
