In the video games "Destiny" and "Destiny 2," which were released in 2014 and 2017 respectively, Lance Reddick provided the voice for the character Commander Zavala.
Reddick has provided both his distinctive voice and likeness to numerous video games throughout his career. The first was "50 Cent: Blood on the Sand," a 2009 video game in which he voiced Derek Carter. Later, in 2014, he made his debut in "Destiny" as Commander Zavala, a role he has since returned to in numerous other installments of the franchise.
Reddick, who played Martin Hatch in "Quantum Break," also provided motion capture and full motion video footage. "Payday 2," "John Wick Hex," "Horizon Zero Dawn," and its follow-up, "Horizon Forbidden West," are a few of his other video game credits. Following Lance Reddick's sudden death at the age of 60, messages of love, admiration, and grief flooded the internet. Players of “Destiny” struggled with the loss of the main character in their fictional world. The “John Wick 4” and “Bosch” actor wasn't just the voice of “Destiny 2”'s Zavala; as shown by some of his last interactions online, he was a huge fan and player like everyone else.
The night before Reddick passed away last week from natural causes, his “Destiny 2” handle, idontcare789#7678, appeared online, as quickly noticed by players. The last tweet liked by the actor also came from a fan making jokes about the game's stoic commander, Zavala. Reddick had completed the majority of the new Lightfall campaign and was down to his final boss battle with Calus. Even Destiny players were mentioned in a tweet that his wife, Stephanie Reddick, posted on his Twitter account. She wrote, "Lance loved the game as much as he loved you."

How has Lance Reddick's career fared?
Reddick, who also tried out for the roles of Bubbles and Bunk Moreland in the HBO series "The Wire," was cast as Cedric Daniels. In 2008, he became a cast member of the ABC drama "Lost," appearing in several episodes as Charles Widmore's employee Matthew Abaddon.
The drama featured him as the third of five "Oz" actors from the HBO series. Reddick was considered for the role of Mr. Eko by "Lost" producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, but he was preoccupied with "The Wire" filming.
In 2007, Reddick released his debut album, "Contemplations & Remembrances," and in the beginning of 2008, he was chosen for a pivotal part in the "Fringe" pilot, in which his "Oz" co-star Kirk Acevedo also had a regular part. Phillip Broyles, the head of an FBI division that looks into paranormal activity, was portrayed by Reddick. This character is "a real hard-ass, but he's also one of the good guys," according to Reddick.
Reddick's ability to appear in both "Lost" and "Fringe" during the 2008–2009 television season was questioned. Reddick was a series regular on "Fringe," but according to Abrams, he would appear in Lost episodes as needed.
Reddick played Charon in the 2014 action-thriller movie "John Wick," and he has since returned in both of the movie's sequels. Reddick would reprise his role in "John Wick: Chapter 4," as it was announced in July 2021. In the video games "Destiny" and "Destiny 2" from 2014 and 2017, he provided the voice for Commander Zavala.
Reddick received a role in the 2016 post-apocalyptic horror movie "The Domestics." The movie was made available on June 28, 2018. Later, Reddick starred in "Monster Party," a 2018 horror thriller. Reddick made an appearance in the 2021 movie "Godzilla vs. Kong." Albert Wesker was played by Reddick in the live-action "Resident Evil" Netflix series in 2022; the show was canceled after one season.
In the upcoming series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians," the Disney+ adaptation of the same-named book series, and in the videogame "Hellboy: Web of Wyrd," he will make posthumous appearances as the Greek god Zeus and Hellboy, respectively.
