Chance Perdomo, Star Of ‘Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina’ And ‘Gen V,’ Dies In Motorcycle Crash At 27

Following a motorcycle accident, actor Chance Perdomo, who gained popularity as the hero of “Gen V” and “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” passed away at 27.

A publicist released a statement on Saturday night, saying, “On behalf of the family and his representatives, it is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Chance Perdomo’s untimely passing as a result of a motorcycle accident.”

According to the statement, nobody else was hurt in the collision. The crash’s specifics, such as its time and location, were later made public.

In the first season of “Gen V,” the college-focused spin-off of Amazon Prime’s popular series “The Boys,” Perdomo plays Andre Anderson. The show is set in a future where superheroes are celebrities and act just as horribly as the most infamous. Perdomo’s character studied at Godolkin University, where the ominously pervasive Vought International firm was established and where “supes” received their training. Perdomo’s power entailed manipulating metal.

The producers of “Gen V,” Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, expressed their condolences to the show’s family for their unexpected loss.

We need help comprehending this. The “Gen V” producers released a statement saying, “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.” It is incomprehensible to write about him in the past tense as well.

The remarks only made it obvious how Perdomo’s passing would impact the show’s production. The show’s large ensemble cast included Shelley Conn, Jaz Sinclair, and Patrick Schwarzenegger.

One of Perdomo’s most well-known performances was that of “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” lead character Ambrose Spellman. The four-season program was nothing like “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” which starred Melissa Joan Hart. The Netflix series, which Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa created, used a more eerie and scandalous tone than its predecessor, “Sabrina,” even if several of the original “Sabrina” performers appeared. The show’s Archie Comics characters were located a town from the namesake site of Aguirre-Sacasa’s “Riverdale.”

Perdomo’s character was a strong, pansexual warlock with a specialty in necromancy who was initially placed under house arrest. Sabrina Spellman’s cousin. He frequently functioned as the show’s “voice of reason,” until it ended in 2020. Alongside him on screen were Kiernan Shipka, Miranda Otto, Tati Gabrielle, Ross Lynch, and Sinclair once more.

Born in Los Angeles, Perdomo was raised in England and identified as Black and Latino.

Before focusing on performing, I was constantly getting into fights. I then started getting better grades and was elected student union president. I was just as tense as Ambrose had been before that. He’s stuck and doesn’t know what to do with his energy,” Perdomo told them in 2018.

He is also rather loving and open at the same time. Being so far away from family puts things into perspective; therefore, I can relate to it more than ever. Regardless of the situation, I always answer the phone or FaceTime that my brothers or mom send me. Ambrose prioritizes his family, and I do too,” he said.

Alongside Rob Riggle and Seann William Scott, Perdomo is credited in the upcoming film “Bad Man” and has performed in other “After” films.

“Everyone who knew him felt his passion for the arts and his insatiable appetite for life, and his warmth will carry on in those who he loved dearest,” the publicist for Perdomo said in a statement.
