A Netflix star best known for his role as warlock Ambrose Spellman in the horror series ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’, Chance Perdomo, has died at the young age of 27. The actor’s publicist announced his tragic death on Saturday.
According to BBC News, he was a British-American actor who was born in Los Angeles but grew up and spent most of his life in Southampton. He had attended Redbridge Community School and then Peter Symonds College, where he intended to study law before becoming an actor. He started his career in acting in 2017 when he debuted in ‘Hetty Feather’, a series on CBBC.
The news outlet also stated that he had been nominated for a BAFTA award in 2019 for best actor in the television drama movie ‘Killed by My Debt’, a movie that is based on the story of Jerome Rogers, a courier who took his own life after he finds himself in overbearing debt. He was also named one of BAFTA’s breakthrough Brits in 2019. BBC News reports that in May 2019, a local newspaper in Southampton reported that he had returned to his secondary school to talk to Year 10 students.
Along with starring in the popular Netflix series ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’, Perdomo also starred in ‘Gen V’, a superhero show on the streaming service Amazon Prime. NBC News has reported that the second season of ‘Gen V’ has been postponed indefinitely due to the tragic and unfortunate death of Perdomo. He also portrayed the character of Landon Gibson in the ‘After’ film trilogy from 2021 to 2023.
According to NBC News, the producers of his show ‘Gen V’ had also made a statement about Perdomo’s death. They stated, “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.”
A statement was released by his publicist that stated, “It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Chance Perdomo’s untimely passing as a result of a motorcycle accident. His passion for the arts and insatiable appetite for life were felt by all who knew him, and his warmth will carry on in those whom he loved dearest. We ask that you please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.” The statement also revealed that there was no one else involved in the tragic accident.
