Actor Chance Perdomo, renowned for his portrayal in the Netflix horror series “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident at the age of 27, as confirmed by his publicist.
The British-American actor was born in Los Angeles and raised in Southampton. He gained recognition for his performance in the BBC Three drama “Killed by My Debt,” which earned him a nomination for Best Actor at the 2019 Bafta TV awards.
Details regarding the location and cause of the accident have not yet been disclosed. According to CBS, his representative stated that “no other individuals were involved” in the incident.
In addition to his role as warlock Ambrose Spellman in the Netflix series “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” Perdomo portrayed Andre Anderson in Amazon Prime’s superhero series “Gen V.”
Amazon MGM Studios and the co-producers of “Gen V,” Sony Pictures Television, described Perdomo as “charming” and an “enthusiastic force of nature” in a statement released following his passing.
Perdomo initially pursued a career in law after completing his education, but transitioned to acting in 2017 with a role in the CBBC series “Hetty Feather.”
His performance in “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” earned him recognition as one of Bafta’s “Breakthrough Brits” in 2019. Reflecting on his Bafta nomination for Best Actor, Perdomo expressed being “overwhelmed” by the response to “Killed by My Debt,” a docudrama based on the true story of Jerome Rogers, a London motorcycle courier who faced insurmountable debt and tragically took his own life.
Leading up to the Bafta awards ceremony, Chance Perdomo reportedly returned to his former secondary school in Southampton to speak to Year 10 students. Redbridge Community School’s headteacher, Jason Ashley, recalled that Perdomo emphasized the importance of hard work and clarified that his passion for acting, not fame, motivated his journey to success.
