Keanu Reeves’ letter to Lance Reddick
In honor of Lance Reddick, the Saturn Awards have named an award after the late actor to symbolize an artist’s talent and character, according to an official statement. In this context, Keanu Reeves spoke about the chance he had to work with such a passionate actor and that his best memories of filming John Wick are the scenes he had alongside him
I told him once… I actually wrote him a letter telling him that people loved John Wick because Charon loved John Wick. Because this character loved John Wick, John Wick was able to get away with it. And when I got to play with him, we felt a great affection… The characters had a deep affection, and off-screen we felt such an affection, and we really enjoyed working on the John Wick films. (…) It is a project that only happens once in a lifetime. I think he knew it, I knew it, and we loved working together on this project.
A speech that touched not only fans of the saga, but also those who paid tribute to the work of the actor, who died last year at the age of 60.
