Chance Perdomo, a 27-year-old actor who starred in Prime Video’s “Gen V” and Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” died Saturday in a motorcycle accident.
The British-American actor’s death was confirmed in a statement from Perdomo’s family and representatives, who wrote, “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 you to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.”
No other individuals were involved in his fatal crash on Saturday, the statement added.
Perdomo, an Afro-Latino actor who was born in Los Angeles, Calif., but raised in Southampton, England, most recently starred in the superhero series “Gen V,” a spinoff of the popular Prime show, “The Boys.”
Acting alongside Lizze Broadway, Jaz Sinclair, Maddie Phillips and London Thor, Perdomo portrayed the character Andre Anderson, a college student with magnetic manipulation abilities.
Saturday was supposed to mark the beginning of Season 2 of the show, as cast members planned to gather in Toronto for a table read, according to Deadline.
With the tragic news of Perdomo’s death, it was announced that production of the second season of “Gen V,” originally slated to begin filming April 8, will now be pushed back.
“We can’t quite wrap our heads around this. 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 “Gen V” producers said in a joint statement.
Perdomo was also known for his role as Ambrose Spellman in the series “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” acting opposite Kiernan Shipka, Ross Lynch and Michelle Gomez.
Prior to acting, he attended Peter Symonds College in Winchester, and had intended to study Law before moving to London to train with the National Youth Theatre and the Identity School of Acting, reported Variety.
Perdomo also acted in several of the “After” films, including “After We Fell” (2021), “After Ever Happy” (2022) and “After Everything” (2023).
