Gen V star Chance Perdomo has died in a motorcycle accident aged just 27.
The Los Angeles born actor, who grew up in the UK, was killed in a single vehicle smash, according to officials. No other details of the crash have yet been shared, Deadline reported.
Perdomo's most recent role was as Andrew Anderson in Prime Video's supernatural show Gen V.
Last year, TheDirect reported he'd been edited out of a trailer over 'controversial' views, including liking anti-vax tweets, as well as following misogynistic influencer Andrew Tate online.
The producers of Gen V released a statement on Saturday following the tragic passing of Perdomo. 'We can't quite wrap our heads around this,' the producers wrote.
