Actor Chance Perdomo, renowned for his portrayal in the Netflix horror series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, has passed away in a motorcycle accident at the age of 27, as confirmed by his publicist.

The British-American talent, born in Los Angeles and raised in Southampton, gained recognition with a nomination for best actor at the 2019 Bafta TV Awards for his performance in the BBC Three drama Killed by My Debt.

In a statement, his publicist expressed, "His insatiable zest for life resonated with all those who crossed his path," further adding, "His warmth will endure within those he cherished dearly." The statement, relayed by CBS, urged for privacy for Perdomo's family as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.

Details surrounding the accident's location and cause have not yet been disclosed. However, CBS reports that Perdomo's representative confirmed, "no other individuals were involved."

Beyond his portrayal of warlock Ambrose Spellman in the Netflix series, Perdomo showcased his talent as Andre Anderson in Amazon Prime's superhero series Gen V.

Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television, co-producers of Gen V, released a statement honoring Perdomo as "charismatic" and an "enthusiastic force of nature."

"Even writing about him in the past tense doesn't make sense," they said.

Perdomo studied law after leaving school and began his acting career in 2017 with a part in the CBBC series Hetty Feather.

His role in the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina saw him being named among Bafta's "Breakthrough Brits" in 2019.

After being nominated for the best actor Bafta in the same year, Perdomo told BBC Newsbeat he had been "overwhelmed" by the reaction to Killed by My Debt - a docudrama based on the true story of Jerome Rogers, a motorcycle courier in London who found himself in crushing debt and took his own life.

In the run-up to the Bafta awards ceremony in May 2019, Perdomo was reported by a local newspaper to have returned to his former Southampton secondary school to give a talk to Year 10 pupils.

"He spoke to them about working hard and he told them it was just his passion for acting and not for fame that got him where he is now," Redbridge Community School's headteacher Jason Ashley told the Southern Daily Echo at the time.

So sad.
