The entertainment world is mourning the loss of rising star Chance Perdomo, who tragically died in a motorcycle accident on Saturday, March 30th, at the age of 27. Perdomo’s publicist confirmed the news, sending shockwaves through Hollywood.
Perdomo was best known for his roles in the superhero shows “Gen V” and “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” He was on his way back to Canada for the first script reading of “Gen V” season two when the accident occurred in New York. Production of the Amazon Prime series has been indefinitely delayed.
The “Gen V” team released a heartfelt statement, remembering Perdomo as “charming and smiling,” “an enthusiastic force of nature,” and “an incredibly talented performer.” They went on to say, “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.“
Tributes also poured in from the cast of “The Boys,” a show within the same universe as “Gen V.” Erin Moriarty, Antony Starr, Karen Fukuhara, and Jack Quaid were among those who shared their condolences.
Perdomo’s career was on a promising trajectory. He was recognized as a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit in 2019 for his role in “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” and was nominated for a BAFTA for Best Actor in 2019 for his performance in “Killed By My Debt.”
Born in Los Angeles but raised in Southampton, England, Perdomo’s passion for the arts was evident from a young age. He honed his craft at the National Youth Theatre and Identity School of Acting before taking on roles in shows like “Hetty Feather.”
