Hollywood is currently mourning the tragic passing of Chance Perdomo, best known for his roles in shows like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and The Boys spinoff, Gen V.
News broke on March 31 that Perdomo, aged 27, died in a motorcycle accident, though details about where the accident happened or what caused it remain unknown. Authorities confirmed that no other individuals were involved in the motorcycle accident.
Tributes for the British-American actor quickly poured in following news of his death. In a statement, Perdomo’s representatives praised his passion for the arts and “insatiable appetite for life,” and said that his warmth “will carry on in those who he loved.”
For their part, Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television — the team behind Gen V — extended their condolences to Perdomo’s family, while the show’s producers said they “can’t quite wrap our heads around this.”
They continued: “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.”
One tribute fans might have been waiting for arrived on April 2, when Kiernan Shipka — who co-starred in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina alongside the likes of Ross Lynch and Gavin Leatherwood — took to social media to share a message in Perdomo’s honor.

Kiernan Shipka took to Instagram to pay tribute to Chance Perdomo on April 2.
