LOS ANGELES — Actor Chance Perdomo has died at age 27 after a motorcycle crash, his publicist said on Saturday.
Perdomo's breakout role was as Ambrose Spellman opposite Kiernan Shipka in the Netflix show "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina." Most recently, he played Andre Anderson in "Gen V," a spinoff of "The Boys."
“It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Chance Perdomo’s untimely passing as a result of a motorcycle accident. Authorities have advised that no other individuals were involved," his publicist said in a statement released to media outlets. "His 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. We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.”
The statement said no one else was involved in the crash. No details about the crash, including when and where it took place, were immediately released.
“We can’t quite wrap our heads around this," producers of "Gen V" said in a statement. "For those of us who knew him and worked with him, Chance was always charming and smiling, 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 second season of "Gen V" had not yet started production.
Perdomo earned a BAFTA nomination for starring as Jerome Rogers in "Killed My Debt" in 2018. He also played Landon Gibson in the "After" series of movies.
Perdomo, who was Black and Latino, was born in Los Angeles and raised in England.
“I was always getting into fights until I put my energy into acting. Then my grades picked up, and I became president of the student union. Before that, I was similar to Ambrose being so pent up. He doesn’t know what to do with his energy because he’s trapped,” Perdomo told them.us in 2018.
“At the same time, he’s very open and loving. I identify with that now more than ever, because being away from family for so long really puts things into perspective. No matter the occasion, if I get that FaceTime or phone call from mom or my brothers, I’m picking it up right away. It’s family first for Ambrose, and I’m the same way,” he continued.
