The actor's career was just starting out after the Netflix adaptation of 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch.'
Chance Perdomo, the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (Ambrose Spellman) and Gen V star, has died. He was 27.
The actor died as a result of a motorcycle accident, his representatives told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. Nobody else was involved in the accident.
“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,” a statement from his reps said. “We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.”
Most recently, Perdomo starred in Prime Video’s The Boys prequel, Gen V, which saw him take on the role of Andre Anderson, a popular student at Godolkin University who is capable of magnetically manipulating things.
“We can’t quite wrap our heads around this,” the producers of the series shared 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.”
In their own statement, Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, which also produces Gen V, wrote, “The entire Gen V family is devastated by the sudden passing of Chance Perdomo. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television extend our heartfelt thoughts and support to Chance’s family and all who loved him at this difficult time.”
Prior to Gen V, the actor portrayed the lovable Ambrose Spellman, Sabrina’s (Kiernan Shipka) cousin, in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. His character often acted as Sabrina’s conscience as well as her accomplice, often keeping secrets for her, despite being worried her practices may put her at risk.
