While known for his cheeky personality, paired with a wonderful British accent, Chance Perdomo was actually born in Los Angeles, California in 1996. However, his mother moved with him to Southhampton, Hampshire County, England when he was a young child, where he attended the Redbridge Community School. While Perdomo had originally wanted to pursue a career in law, he changed his dream to acting and joined the National Youth Theatre. He also trained at the Identity School of Acting.

Perdomo began acting in 2017 and got his big break just one year later, when he was cast as Ambrose Spellman in the hit Netflix show, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Ambrose Spellman was a warlock who specialized in necromancy (communicating with the dead). After conspiring to blow up the Vatican, Ambrose was put in a binding spell and confined to the Spellman home for nearly a century.

Fans will also know Perdomo for his role as Andre Anderson in the Amazon Prime Video show, Gen V. Andre Anderson is a superhero, known for his superhuman strength and his ability to control metal. Perdomo was set to star in the show’s second season, but the season has now been put on indefinite pause.

Chance’s Gen V. family shared heartfelt messages upon learning of the actor’s death. Gen V. producers released a joint statement:

“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.”

As if starring in two hit streaming shows wasn’t enough, Perdomo also snagged a starring role in the hit Netflix film franchise, After, where he played Landon. The role of Landon was originally given to Shane Paul McGhie, but there was a huge shakeup when filming locations had to change because of the COVID-19 pandemic. McGhie was in the first two films, but Chance was in the final three.

At this time, we do not know what caused Perdomo’s accident, and no details have been released. The only thing that has been confirmed is that no one else was involved in the deadly crash.

We extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and costars of Chance Perdomo.
