NEW YORK, NY.- Chance Perdomo, a British actor known for his roles in the series “Gen V” and “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” died Friday. He was 27.

Perdomo died in a motorcycle accident, Larissa Saenz, a representative for him, confirmed in a statement Saturday. The statement said that “authorities have advised that no other individuals were involved.” It was not immediately clear where the accident happened.

Perdomo played the pansexual warlock Ambrose Spellman in the Netflix series “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” and Andre Anderson, a superhuman with magnetic manipulation abilities, in “The Boys” spinoff series “Gen V.”

He was born Oct. 20, 1996, according to his representative, in Los Angeles and raised in Southampton, England. Details on survivors were not immediately available.

Perdomo had described himself as “a Black child raised by a Latino mother in a white society with two nationalities.”

He landed a small part on an episode of “Hetty Feather,” a British children’s drama set in the Victorian era, after graduating from Peter Symonds College in Winchester, where one of his majors was theater.

He told The New York Times in 2020 that although the role was “one or two lines,” it was enough “to take that leap of faith” and pursue acting full time.

Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television said in a statement posted to a “Gen V” social media account that they were “devastated” by the news of Perdomo’s death.

The account also shared a statement from the producers of “Gen V” in which they said they “can’t quite wrap our heads around this.”

“Even writing about him in the past tense doesn’t make sense,” the statement added.

Variety reported that production on the second season of “Gen V” had been “delayed indefinitely” after the news of Perdomo’s death.

In Britain, Perdomo was known for starring in “Killed by My Debt,” a television movie based on the true story of a young courier who dies by suicide after two traffic tickets grow into a crushing debt.

In an interview posted on social media, he recalled a conversation he had with his mother when he was about 2 years old. He told her he had two things he aspired to.

“She said, ‘What do you want to be?’” he said. “I said I want to be the first Black president of the United States, and I want to be on ‘Barney.’”

Perdomo went on to describe the differences between his roles on “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” and “Killed by My Debt.” Of his work, he said: “It’s been quite a year. Quite a couple of years.”

“Visual mediums are great tools to be able to get messages and get thoughts across,” he added.

He said that connecting with someone emotionally could help lead a person to think differently and “that can change perspectives and hopefully lead to more of a permanent change.”
