“And to the 1000’s of Destiny gamers who performed in particular tribute to Lance, thanks. Lance cherished you as a lot as he cherished the sport.”
Reddick voiced the character of Commander Zavala in the 2014 video game “Destiny” and its 2017 sequel “Destiny 2.” Since the release of “Destiny 2,” the game’s developer, Bungie, has regularly released expansions and quarterly seasons.
Reddick was the game’s longest-running and most-used voice cast member, according to Forbes.
After news of his death broke Friday, thousands of “Destiny” players paid tribute to Reddick in-game by visiting Commander Zavala in his station at the Tower, the outlet reported.
Since only 16 players can fit in the Tower at a time, the gamers have been holding hundreds of vigils. The players’ avatars were seen gathering around Zavala, pay ing their respects in various ways as they kneeled, saluted, hugged or stood silently side by side.
Reddick had a strong relationship with the “Destiny” fan community, frequently posting videos of himself playing the game and recording fan-requested dialogue in character.
The actor died “instantly” due to natural causes, his publicist Mia Hansen confirmed in a statement to The Associated Press.
In addition to starring in all four of the “John Wick” movies, Reddick was known for his roles on “The Wire,” “Fringe,” “Bosch,” “Oz,” “White House Down,” “Godzilla vs. Kong” and “Lost” among many other film and TV projects.
Many of Reddick’s former co-stars and other celebrities, including Ben Stiller, Wendell Pierce, Stephen King and James Gunn mourned his death on social media.
