His passion for the arts and insatiable appetite for life was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth will carry on in those who he loved dearest. We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.”

“We can’t quite wrap our heads around this. For those of us who knew him and worked with him, Chance was always charming and smiling, an enthusiastic force of nature, an incredibly talented performer, and more than anything else, just a very kind, lovely person,” said the producers of Gen V in a joint statement. “Even writing about him in the past tense doesn’t make sense. We are so sorry for Chance’s family, and we are grieving the loss of our friend and colleague. Hug your loved ones tonight.”

He had a series of smaller film/TV credits before being nominated for a BAFTA TV Award for his role in 2018’s Killed My Debt. After this, he was cast in his major breakthrough role in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, garnering mainstream attention and success. He played Ambrose Spellman in all seasons of the show from 2018-2020. He then nabbed one of the lead roles in Gen V, playing Andre Anderson. The series debuted last year.
