After playing the memorable role of Lt. Cedric Daniels on the critically acclaimed "The Wire," a role that has brought him a global fan base, Lance Reddick is currently starring on FOX's "Fringe" while also recurring on ABC's hit series "Lost." Lance Reddick was also recently featured in a series of high-profile Cadillac spots, just wrapped the independent feature "The Way of War" with Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding, Jr., and will soon be seen in another leading role in "Tennessee" for producer Lee Daniels.
Lance Reddick is also known for his outstanding work on "The Corner" and as "Detective John Basil" on "Oz"; recurring roles on "CSI: Miami" and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"; and the Showtime film "Keep the Faith, Baby" with Harry Lennix. Lance Reddick's feature film credits include work opposite Daniel Craig and Kim Basinger in "I Dreamed of Africa," "The Siege" for director Ed Zwick, Alfonso Cuarãn's "Great Expectations" and the indie film "Bad City."
Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Lance Reddick, the son of two public school teachers, attended the University of Rochester before transferring to the prestigious Eastman School of Music, where he majored in classical composition for four years before admitting that his heart lay with pop music. In his twenties, Lance Reddick struggled to make it as a musician and decided to try acting as a way to help jumpstart his music career, and was quickly cast in local stage productions, and one year later, on a lark, he applied to the Yale School of Drama.
Two weeks after graduating from Yale in 1994, Lance Reddick was cast as the understudy for Jeffrey Wright in "Angels in America." His other theater productions include "Henry V," "Julius Caesar," "Afterplay," "On House" and the critically acclaimed 2006 off-Broadway revival of August Wilson's "7 Guitars," in which Lance Reddick played "Floyd."
In 2006, Lance Reddick launched YNC Films with the vision to produce small, multi-ethnic, talent-driven, artistically sophisticated and socially complex films, and is currently developing a script by Bruce Terrace, the director and co-writer of "Bad City."
Lance Reddick is also dusting off his ambitions to pursue a recording career, having recently completed "Contemplations & Remembrances," a collection of contemporary jazz songs that will be released independently online later this year.
Lance Reddick divides his time between Los Angeles and New York.
