At the Los Angeles premiere of “John Wick: Chapter 4,” Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne were among the celebrities paying tribute to Lance Reddick, his co-star who passed away suddenly last week.
“We lost our brother, and in a really sort of very shocking way. I think we’re all still in shock. Life is,” the visibly shaken Fishburne said, pausing briefly before continuing, “hard sometimes.”
Many of the film’s crew members wore blue ribbons as a mark of respect for Reddick, a prolific character actor best known for his performances on “The Wire,” “Oz,” and the “John Wick” movie series.
“Just to be in his light and to get a chance to work with him, I’ll cherish for the rest of my life,” Reeves said. “He had such a passion for his work and his craft. He was gracious. He had a dignity to him and a presence.”
Reddick, 60, passed away naturally on Friday in Los Angeles, according to his publicist Mia Hansen. No other information was offered.
The actor, whose roles made him a popular and well-known star of television and films, has received a deluge of tributes. He portrayed Charon, the multitalented concierge at the Continental Hotel who has a soft spot for Wick, the assassin played by Keanu Reeves. The most recent episode hits theaters on Friday.

“He’s the goodness of this film. He was kind of, in many ways, the heart of the film because his character loved John Wick,” Fishburne said.
“You know, it’s always hard when you lose someone that you love dearly … but you’re also incredibly grateful for the time you had together. We were fortunate enough to work with Lance since the very beginning of the ‘John Wick’ franchise. I mean it’s been almost 10 years,” director Chad Stahelski said. “I really wish he could be with us tonight, but, you know, life. But we’re very fortunate to have known him. And he’s a great man, a great artist, a great human, a dear friend.”
Shamier Anderson, a rookie to the “Wick” series, recounted how Reddick made time to say something nice while they were filming.
“He said, ‘Shamier, you’re incredible. I love your work man,’ and like, it melted me like a puddle.”
