John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum's Lance Reddick: “The Dog Really Likes Keanu Reeves”

Who did he model the concierge of The Continental Hotel on?

John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum's  Lance Reddick: “The Dog Really Likes Keanu Reeves”

Lance Reddick has a history of playing authority figures, hard-ass leaders. Lt Cedric Daniels on HBO’s The Wire. Chief Irvin Irving on Amazon Prime Video’s Bosch. Homeland Security agent Philip Broyles on JJ Abrams’ Fringe — all characters you don’t mess with.

In the John Wick movies, Reddick, 56, plays a different kind of law enforcer. As Charon, The Continental Hotel’s mild-mannered concierge with the armour-piercing stare, he makes sure that no business is conducted at the assassin sanctuary.

Speaking to 8 DAYS from LA over the phone, Reddick let us in how he flexed his action muscles in John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum. (A week after our chat, the studio greenlit John Wick 4, due May 2021.)

He also shares his experience working on Corporate, the boardroom comedy where he plays a sociopathic CEO. “Generally, I find people under 40 recognise me for Corporate,” Reddick adds. “And people over 40 tend to recognise me for Bosch.”
