Lance Reddick Joins Cast of J.J. Abrams' 'Fringe'

oscardahl · 01-24-2008, 06:29 AM

Lance Reddick, at this point, is best known as Col. Daniels on The Wire. Or, if you like commercials, as the black guy in the trying-way-too-hard-to-be-cool Cadillac commercials. In roughly a month's time, Lance Reddick will be best known for his recurring role on Lost's fourth season. The full details of his Lost character are unknown, but whatever Reddick has done with the role, J.J. Abrams and the Lost team liked what they saw. Abrams has cast Reddick in his new drama pilot Fringe, which is an X-Files style series about a team of agents who investigate paranormal activity. Reddick will play the special agent who heads up the paranormal division of Homeland Security.

He as well as Eko and Michael, were all on Oz, and his role in particular was incredible, he was an undercover cop, who pretended to be a Jamaican drug dealer. It sounds funny when you look at it written, but his performance was incredible on Oz, as was Harold and AAA, and they were the reason I started watching Lost, so seeing Lance Reddick added to the Lost crew makes me very excited. By the way Fringe also has another Oz alumni, who was great as Alverez on the show.

I've known Lance since we were both teenagers in Baltimore. When I knew him, he was a tenor with a wonderful voice and we both attended a music camp called "The Walden School" (waldenschool.org) in Vermont (it's now in New Hampshire). He's been appearing in films and TV (recurring on CSI and Law and Order) for about 10 years now. He was also on HBO's Oz as Detective Basil. I'm thrilled to see his talent has really taken him places! Way to go, Lance!
