CSI Miami

wasnt this guy in CSI Miami ?? played an FBI officer that had something to do with Ray Caine ?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cauld1 (talk • contribs) 08:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a little subnote: it says in article about his appearance on Lost that "He was the third of four actors from Oz to star in the drama (along with Harold Perrineau, Ken Leung and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje).", although at least Zeljko Ivanek has also appeared... though he was only a one-time guest star in Lost... but Reddick isn't actually starring in the series either...

rewrite?

This whole thing is a mess. The first paragraph is consise and to the point. The second paragraph is redundant and difficult to follow due to poor sentence structure. Most of the article is outdated, or refers to the same event in both past and future tense. I suggest a rewrite, or at least a good edit. 98.14.165.34 (talk) 05:31, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a suggested edit:

Lance Reddick is an American actor born in Baltimore, Maryland. He starred in The Wire as Cedric Daniels, appeared in Oz as Detective Johnny Basil and appeared in the fourth season of Lost. He now has a prominent role in Fringe.

Mr. Reddick is known for portraying police detectives. In addition to his roles in HBO shows The Wire and Oz, he also appeared in the 2003 Jay-Z/Beyoncé "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" video as the lead police officer.

He joined ABC's hit series Lost in 2008.[1][2] Reddick plays Matthew Abaddon, a ruthless corporate recruiter.[1] He is the third of four actors from Oz to star in the drama (along with Harold Perrineau, Ken Leung and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have said that they were interested in Reddick for the part of Mr. Eko but he was busy filming The Wire so they approached Akinnuoye-Agbaje instead.[1]

In early 2008, he was cast in a key role for the pilot of Fringe.[3] Reddick plays Phillip Broyles, the head of a special government agency that investigates paranormal activities. Reddick described the character as "a real ass. But he's also one of the good guys."[4] Like Lost, Fringe is produced and co-created by J.J. Abrams.

There has been some doubt as to whether Reddick will be able to appear in both Lost and Fringe in the 2008-09 television season. Abrams has stated that while being a series regular on Fringe, Reddick will still be available to film episodes of Lost whenever required. [5]

Mr. Reddick was also seen in a 2007 Cadillac TV advertisement.

Mostly I have changed things like "will play Phillip Broyles" to "plays Phillip Broyles", and have eliminated a lot of redundant or irrelevant information. If there are no objections to this, I will edit this page this weekend.98.14.165.34 (talk) 05:47, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Missing/ Wrong Information

Please include Reddick's birth date in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdriver1981 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to several sources in the Internet, Mr. Reddick's date if birth is December 31st 1962 and not June 7th! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.75.35.74 (talk) 23:32, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

plot spoiler

someone please label this a plot sploiler... i did not want to know that Lance Reddick is with the good guys.... otherwise please take this information out because it is kind of irrelevant anyways. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.120.79.122 (talk) 09:28, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

His birth year

1962 or 1969? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.250.158.7 (talk) 08:25, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Musician

Which instrument(s) does he play? Or is he a singer? -- UKoch (talk) 16:42, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

2015 Quantum Break

New video game or series he's working on. Reference link: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/04/quantum-break-release-date-cast — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.181.162.38 (talk) 05:45, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Missing credit

Also appears in the DUST sci-fi series DRONE dated May 12, 2019 for episode one. It's on YouTube. 2600:1700:8B41:2860:D449:2003:EC71:CE15 (talk) 22:23, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday

Reddick has repeatedly stated that his birthday is not December 31. See his tweet from 2015 and another from the other day. Most sources on the internet are using the December 31 date but are not reliable. This source says his birthday is June 7 and is the most reliable I've been able to find. We should either go with the June 7 date or only include the year until we can find a better reference. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 03:14, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

children

I have no idea how this works, but can someone please remove the entry that currently visible for how many children Reddick had?

Add 'since 2014' to "(whom Reddick voiced)" so it may become "(whom Reddick voiced since 2014)" in order to properly recognize the length he held this significant role for. 144.139.159.155 (talk) 08:05, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
