Chance Perdomo — best known for his performances in “The Boys” spinoff “Gen V” and “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” — has died at the age of 27.
He died as a result of a motorcycle accident. No one else was involved.
Following news of Perdomo’s passing, the crew from “Gen V” issued a statement of condolences:
“The entire ‘Gen V’ family is devastated by the sudden passing of Chance Perdomo. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television extend our heartfelt thoughs and support to Chance’s family and all who loved him at this difficult time.
“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.”
Originally born in Los Angeles but raised by his mother in England, Perdomo originally planned to pursue law as a career but ultimately decided to explore acting instead. Perdomo actually auditioned for a role on the CW series “Riverdale” but didn’t get the part.
His audition impressed creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa so much that he kept Perdomo in mind when creating his next series “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” Perdomo portrayed Ambrose Spelling, cousin to Kiernan Shipka’s Sabrina for four seasons.
After “Sabrina” ended, Perdomo landed a lead role in “The Boys” spinoff series “Gen V” where he played Andre Anderson — a Supe with the powers of magnetism and metal manipulation — who soon suspects that something nefarious is lurking behind the scenes at the university responsible for creating the next generation of superheroes.
He also appeared in the TV movie “Killed By My Debt,” which earned him a BAFTA nomination.
