Lance, who passed away on March 17, was holding press conferences for the John Wick sequel when he died.
His spokesperson at Portrait PR at the time confirmed the details, stating that he died at the age of 60 of natural causes.
Lance majored in drama at Yale in the early 1980s, but it wasn’t until the 2000s that he first rose to fame for his five-season role as Cedric Daniels in The Wire.
He has acted as Phillip Broyles and Chief Irvin Irving in TV shows like Bosch and Fringe, respectively. In the 2014 film Charon, starring Keanu Reeves and based on the life of a New York hotel concierge, he made his acting debut.
Each of the three sequels over the past nine years has featured Lance. On March 24, the fourth film will be released.
