The entertainment industry is mourning the tragic and untimely loss of actor Chance Perdomo, who passed away at the age of 27 following a motorcycle accident. Known for his standout performances in Gen V and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Perdomo’s death has left a void in the hearts of fans, colleagues, and family members alike.

Perdomo’s representatives confirmed the heartbreaking news in a public statement on Saturday. The statement expressed that everyone who had the privilege of knowing Chance had been touched by his passion for life and his deep love of storytelling through his craft. His family, devastated by the loss of their beloved son and brother, has requested privacy as they grieve.

Born in Los Angeles but raised in Southampton, England, Chance Perdomo’s journey into acting was nothing short of inspiring. He rose to fame playing the beloved character Ambrose Spellman in the Netflix supernatural drama Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, where his charm, wit, and charisma quickly made him a fan favorite. His performance as Ambrose—a pansexual warlock who acted as Sabrina’s cousin and confidante—was praised for its depth, humor, and sincerity.

Perdomo’s talent didn’t stop there. He went on to portray Landon in the After film franchise and most recently gained acclaim for his role as Andre Anderson in Amazon Prime Video’s Gen V, a gritty and edgy spinoff of the superhero series The Boys. His portrayal of Andre, a student with magnetic powers struggling with his father’s legacy, was layered and emotionally charged, earning him critical and audience acclaim.

The producers of Gen V released a heartfelt statement following the announcement of his passing. “We can’t quite wrap our heads around this. For those of us who knew him and worked with him, Chance was always charming, smiling, and so incredibly talented. We’re devastated by this news.” Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, the companies behind Gen V, also extended their condolences to his family, friends, and fans.

Tributes have been pouring in from across the entertainment industry. Luke Cook, who acted alongside Perdomo in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, shared a message on social media expressing his deep sorrow and describing Chance as “kind, gentle, and full of soul.” The show’s creator, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, remembered Chance not just as a phenomenal actor, but as a warm and radiant human being who brought light into every room he entered.

“Chance had a presence that was impossible to ignore,” Aguirre-Sacasa wrote. “He was deeply intelligent and thoughtful, full of grace and humility. On-screen, he brought characters to life with such nuance and vitality. Off-screen, he was a generous and loving friend.”

Musician Kehlani also took a moment to honor Perdomo, calling him a “sweet boy” with a golden heart. Her words echoed the sentiments of many who had the opportunity to work with or know Chance personally. His blend of kindness, charm, and immense talent made him someone who left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Perdomo’s passing has left a void not only in the projects he was a part of but also in the future roles he never had the chance to explore. His star was undeniably rising, and fans were excited to see where his career would go next. His performances reflected a level of maturity and emotional intelligence far beyond his years, which made it clear that he was destined for greatness.

In a time when the entertainment industry often feels fast-paced and impersonal, Chance Perdomo stood out for being present, authentic, and thoughtful in everything he did. He approached his work with a sense of purpose and brought joy and authenticity to every role. Whether he was playing a wise-cracking warlock, a conflicted superhero, or a romantic lead, he left audiences moved and inspired.

As tributes continue to flow, one thing remains clear: Chance Perdomo was a light in the lives of many, and his legacy will live on through the performances he gave, the friendships he built, and the love he shared. His tragic passing reminds us all how fleeting life can be and how important it is to embrace the people we cherish.

To Chance—thank you for the magic, the laughter, and the stories. You may be gone far too soon, but your spirit will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
