Keanu Reeves remembers his co-star Lance Reddick on the red carpet at the 'John Wick 4' premiere in Los Angeles: 'Lance was a beautiful person.'
that Reddick was one of the first people that he and creative partner David Leitch cast in the original film and his wisdom guided the first-time directors.
“And we were like, ‘Lance we really don’t know what we’re doing but please help us,” Stahelski said. “He just mentored us through the first day of shooting with him. He was so kind, so generous, and we still joke about it today. He’s always been the most collaborative, most positive guy I’ve ever met.”
“As a filmmaker you look for artists that are going to be great collaborators, and he was the epitome of that,” Leitch added. “Someone who came in to share ideas full-heartedly, and I just can’t say enough about him as a human being and as an artist.”Lance Reddick was, at heart, the definition of a supporting actor, strengthening whatever show or movie he was in, including “John Wick,” “The Wire” and “Lost.
Reddick reportedly skipped a New York screening for the movie last week, but in one of his final interviews he told“I couldn’t believe that it was bigger than the last one,” he told the outlet on March 3. “I don’t know how you can have more action and better action, but we do. Also, the emotional stakes have been raised. I feel for the characters more than any other franchise.”
The “Bosch” actor also discussed his work on the film’s spin-off “Ballerina,” which also stars Reeves, Ian McShane and Ana de Armas, as well as his upcoming roles in the “White Men Can’t Jump” remake and Shirley Chisholm biopic “Shirley.” Reddick was set for several more projects before his death, including the Disney+ series adaptation of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” and a handful of projects that featured his resonant voice.
