So sad to hear about Lance Reddick. What a wonderful human. He was a frequent guest and supporter of TGA, even recorded promo VOs one year for us. An amazing actor who gave so much to games, gone far too soon. pic.twitter.com/rn0jXnJ8z3

resident evil on netflix was not good. but it’s also worth watching for lance reddick alone. he ate his role as Wesker and was clearly having the time of his life. if you want to see Reddick go all in, give it a shot. hell just skip to his scenes only. pic.twitter.com/Z0JRuIc35U
