Tragic Loss: Gen V Actor Chance Perdomo Remembered by Co-Stars
Over the weekend, members of the casts of Prime Video’s “Gen V” and “The Boys” turned to social media to mourn the untimely passing of their fellow actor, Chance Perdomo, who recently succumbed to injuries from a motorcycle accident.
At just 27 years old, Perdomo had made a significant mark in the industry, notably portraying the character Andre Anderson in “Gen V,” where he depicted a popular student at Godolkin University with the ability to magnetically manipulate objects. Additionally, viewers might recognize him as Ambrose Spellman from Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” where he portrayed the cousin of the protagonist, Sabrina, played by Kiernan Shipka.
Patrick Schwarzenegger, who co-starred with Perdomo in “Gen V” as Luke, Andre’s best friend, shared heartfelt tributes on his Instagram Stories, accompanied by poignant photos of the two. Schwarzenegger later expressed his grief on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “This hurts. A lot. What a young talented actor, and a great friend – gone way too soon.” He fondly remembered Perdomo as “a pleasure to work with.”
In a statement issued by Perdomo’s representatives confirming his passing on Saturday, his fervent passion for the arts and zest for life were highlighted. The statement also emphasized the family’s plea for privacy during this time of mourning.
