During the L.A. premiere of "John Wick 4," Keanu Reeves and the actors donned ribbons in Lance Reddick's memory.

On the red carpet at the "John Wick: Chapter 4" premiere in Los Angeles on Monday, the late actor Lance Reddick was very much present.

Reddick, who passed away on Friday at the age of 60, was remembered by his co-stars and other guests who wore blue ribbons to memorialize him. The ribbons were worn on the red carpet at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood by the film's lead stars Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Shamier Anderson, Hiroyuki Sanada, Rina Sawayama, Donnie Yen, and director Chad Stahelski.

Leading the memorial service, Reeves called the famous "Fringe" and "The Wire" actor a "wonderful artist."

He told Deadline that Lance "was a wonderful guy, a special artist, [and] a man of elegance and dignity [with] such a passion for his profession. "It is also extremely significant to me to have had the opportunity to work with him over the course of the 10 years and four films [in the series].

It's terrible that he's not there.

Reddick made his acting debut in the 2014 movie and returned to portray hotel concierge Charon in the subsequent films in the hit-man vengeance series. Reeves and Stahelski dedicated the most recent post to their "dear buddy" and the "consummate professional" after learning of his passing last Friday. (On Friday, the movie premieres in cinemas.)

Reeves recounted his initial encounter with the actor and a concept Reddick had for "the manner that he wanted the character [Charon] to talk" in a red carpet interview with People on Monday.

Simply his passion and energy. And the connection we had and the way we were able to kind of communicate, they said. Simply put, it's cool," the 58-year-old celebrity stated. "Charon and John Wick had a unique bond. I used to tell him that he loved John Wick because other people did.

Fishburne, who portrays the Bowery King, a criminal boss in the "John Wick" world, was Reeves' "Matrix" co-star and had similarly positive things to say about Reddick.

We adore Lance. Lance is missed. He really is the center of these films in many respects. We lost our sibling, yet we still produced a stunning film that stood out above the others. And I believe people will adore it because, after all, that is what it is all about. He wouldn't want us to skip this, according to Fishburne, who spoke to the Hollywood Reporter.

Reddick was one of the first actors that director Stahelski and his creative partner David Leitch hired in the original movie, and their guidance was aided by his experience. the director further revealed to THR.

Stahelski said, "And we were like, Lance, we truly don't know what we're doing, but please assist us. He only guided us through our first day of filming with him as a mentor. We still make jokes about how kind and lovely he was. He's always been the most helpful, upbeat person I've ever encountered.

Leitch said, "As a director, you search for people who would be fantastic collaborators, and he was the embodiment of it. I just can't say enough about him as a human being and as an artist. He came in to exchange ideas wholeheartedly.

In one of his last interviews, Reddick told E! News that the most recent "John Wick" movie outperforms its predecessors despite the fact that he apparently missed a New York screening of the picture last week.

On March 3, he told the publication, "I couldn't believe that it was larger than the prior one." "I'm not sure how you have better and more activity, but we do. The stakes on an emotional level have also increased. Compared to other franchises, I feel more for the characters.

The "Bosch" actor also spoke about his work on "Ballerina," a spin-off of the movie that also features Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, and Ana de Armas, as well as his impending appearances in the "White Guys Can't Jump" remake and the Shirley Chisholm biopic "Shirley." Before to his passing, Reddick had commitments for a number of more projects, including the Disney+ version of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" and a number of others that would have made use of his distinctive voice.
