Actor Reddick, who was also known for his roles in The Wire, Fringe, and John Wick, died in March 2023 at the age of 60.<\/p>\n
A tribute card at the end of the eighth and final episode of the Disney Plus<\/a> series simply read: \u201cIn loving memory of Lance Reddick.\u201d<\/p>\n Reddick appeared in the final episode, titled The Prophecy Comes True, as the almighty Zeus, king of Mount Olympus. It was one of his final roles before his death.<\/p>\n Following news of Reddick\u2019s death last year, Percy Jackson author<\/a> Rick Riordan penned a heartfelt tribute<\/a>, which ended: \u201cIt will be difficult working on those scenes in which Lance appears \u2014 not just because we mourn him, but because they will remind us of how much brilliance we have lost.<\/p> \u201cAt least it\u2019s comforting to know that we\u2019ll be able to share that performance with Lance\u2019s millions of fans, and we will get to see his artistry in action one more time.<\/p>\n \u201cAs for me, I have trouble believing such a force of nature could ever really be gone. I will choose to think that maybe Mount Olympus simply had need of their king. Godspeed, Mr Reddick, and thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n More recently, producer Dan Shotz told Screen Rant:\u00a0 \u201cIt was an incredible experience with him. We miss him dearly, and I think the thing that I look back most [on] is his connection to the kids.<\/p>\n \u201cShowing up as his Zeus, the kids were intimidated. Not only because it\u2019s Lance Reddick, but also this character that\u2019s been built up all season; seeing him and how powerful he is.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd Lance, obviously, brought that power. But he also brought this soulfulness, he brought this just connection to them that was pretty immediate.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI just love how he showed up and actually cared for them in this scene. And you can just tell what kind of actor he was because he was amazing. He was an amazing scene partner to these kids.\u201d<\/p>\n Percy Jackson and the Olympians is available to stream on Disney Plus.\u00a0<\/strong>Check out the rest of our<\/strong>\u00a0Sci-Fi<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and<\/strong>\u00a0Fantasy<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0coverage, or visit our<\/strong>\u00a0TV Guide<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and<\/strong>\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
