The news of his demise was confirmed by his representative, Mia Hansen.

Hansen informed that Reddick passed away suddenly on Friday morning "from natural causes," CNN reported.

Reddick, 60, began his career in the '90s, with credits in shows like "New York Undercover" and "The West Wing."

He began earning roles in regional theatre and at 29, he applied-- and was accepted -- to Yale University to study drama, eventually graduating.

In New York, he first auditioned for "The Wire" creator David Simon for his project "The Corner," an HBO miniseries that came two years before Simon's "The Wire."

Reddick was also among the SAG-nominated ensemble of Regina King's One Night in Miami and worked on Netflix's Resident Evil series, Comedy Central's Corporate and FX's American Horror Story.
