Actor Lance Reddick, best known for his commanding presence as a no-nonsense police chief on the acclaimed television drama 'The Wire' and for his supporting work in the 'John Wick' action-film series, died on Friday at age 60, his publicist said.

His death came just days before the planned March 24 release of the fourth installment in the "John Wick" franchise, in which Reddick reprised his role as a hotel manager named Charon, an ally of the title character, a professional assassin forced out of retirement, played by Keanu Reeves. He also appeared in a pair of shows co-created by J.J. Abrams, starting with season four of the ABC series "Lost". That character was soon killed off, making way for Reddick to join the cast of "Fringe," a Fox network series in which he played the head of an FBI unit investigating the paranormal.
