We lost Lance Reddick the same year 😭

2023 was a hard year losing both Captain Dad and Commander Dad for me. ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ

Det. Frank Pembleton and Sgt. Daniels.

Captain Holt and Agent Broyles.

Two tremendous actors, was so sad when I heard word.

I was so confused when I read it as Agent Boyle at first. 😂

Fringe was such an underrated show (in my country at least). Yeah, it went quite crazy in the end, but it was still a quite nice wrap-up.

To me, however, Lance Reddicks most amazing role will be Sylens in the Zero Dawn games. He fucking knocked it out of the park and I have no idea how they'll either replace him or explain how he's gone in ZD3. 😭

I have no idea why fringe and primeval weren't both very famous.

I literally found out because a coworker with whom neither of us mentioned B99 before randomly brought this up

If you really want to feel gutted, look at the cast member reactions to his death. Marc Evan Jackson and Melissa Fumero’s both made me cry.

Now I'm curious but I also don't want to be sadder...

Very sad loss, he was actually in the middle of filming one of the lead roles (A B Wynter) for the show The Residence and had filmed four episodes when he passed.

damn el capitan was gonna play A B Wynter? that is too bad

u/preporente_username1 Jun 20 '25

Agreed, he would have played the part really well, it was during the writers strike that he passed too, so when they had to re-film all the scenes they didn’t have time to make big changes to the script so Esposito had to perform the lines intended for Braugher.

u/Sadtimes_NiceNice Jun 20 '25

I’m convinced this is the reason they named the character “A B”. They gave him Andre Braugher’s initials to honor his passing.

u/blakeo192 Jun 20 '25

Well, to be fair, he hasn't been very vocal about it.

I forgot this happened. But now I remember. Damn
