Lance Reddick

Lance Reddick came to prominence in the memorable role of Lt. Cedric Daniels on HBO's critically acclaimed series "The Wire." This series not only brought him a global fan base, it is widely considered one of the best television shows in history, sparking the current "binge watching" trend in its afterlife.

In 2014, he recurred on FX's "American Horror Story: Coven" opposite Jessica Lange and Angela Bassett, CBS' "Intelligence" and NBC's "The Blacklist" opposite James Spader. He has shot a lead in the new Amazon Original Series, "Bosch." Based on the best-selling book series by Michael Connelly.

Reddick enjoys a busy film career and stars in the psychological thriller The Guest, which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Adam Wingard and written by Simon Barrett, the film hit theaters in September 2014.

Also in 2014, Reddick appeared in a leading role in the comedy feature Search Party, opposite T.J. Miller, Adam Pally and Thomas Middleditch, directed by Scot Armstrong. Lance will also appear in the 2015 release of Snoot Films' Faults.

Reddick was previously seen in White House Down, with Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx and Maggie Gyllenhaal. He also worked with Gyllenhaal in Won't Back Down, opposite Academy Award®-nominated Viola Davis. Reddick had a pivotal cameo in Spike Lee's remake of the iconic Old Boy, reuniting him with his Jonah Hex co-star Josh Brolin.

Other film credits include the Lee Daniels film Tennessee, opposite Mariah Carey; I Dreamed of Africa, opposite Daniel Craig and Kim Basinger; The Siege, for director Ed Zwick, and the indie film Bad City.

Reddick considers his "breakout role" to be playing detective John Basil (aka "Mobay") on HBO's "Oz." He also did outstanding work on the award-winning HBO series "The Corner" and ABC's "Lost."

Although audiences have come to know Reddick as the stern and authoritarian Special Agent Phillip Broyles on the hit Fox series "Fringe," he showed off his comedic chops with a very successful guest-star turn on the FX comedy "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." He then starred in a highly successful Funny or Die viral video, "Toys R Me," and a spot for CollegeHumor.com. They were so well received that Reddick was then offered an episode of "Wilfred" on FX as well as sketches on IFC's "Comedy Bang Bang," "Key and Peele," and Wanda Sykes' "HERlarious" on OWN. He also guest starred on "NTSF: SD: SUV" for Adult Swim.

A theater actor by training, Reddick is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama. One of his first roles was playing Jeffrey Wright's understudy on Broadway in "Angels in America." His other theater productions include "Henry V," "Afterplay," "On House," "Julius Caesar," and the critically acclaimed 2006 Off-Broadway revival of August Wilson's "Seven Guitars," in which he played the lead character.
