Lance Reddick, All You Need To Know:
Mr. Reddick had some stage success when, in 1996, he began landing small roles on “New York Undercover,” “The West Wing,” and other television shows, as well as some TV movies.
Even back then, he was frequently playing law enforcement figures, and he would continue to do so when he was cast as Lt. Cedric Daniels, the principled head of the investigation unit, on “The Wire,” the sprawling HBO series praised for its realistic and often downbeat depiction of policing, crime, education, and other aspects of life in Baltimore.
The actor appeared in the Netflix series Resident Evil and the science fiction action film Godzilla vs. Kong.
He was also well-known for his voice work, which included roles in the TV series Rick and Morty.
Reddick received a bachelor’s degree in classical music from the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester in New York before attending the Yale School of Drama.
