"Devastated at the loss of Chance Perdomo, a beautiful being taken far too soon," Shelley Conn wrote in her own tribute, adding that her thoughts were "full of his family, friends and loved ones."

He also played the role of Landon Gibson in the After movie series before more recently appearing as Andre Anderson in Gen V. Production on the second series of the Prime Video has since been been delayed indefinitely.
Amazon Prime Video has also shared their condolences to Perdomo's family in a statement, writing: "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, and incredibly talented performer, and more than anything else, just a very kind, lovely person. 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."
