Following Chance Perdomo’s death, his costars from Prime Video’s Gen V are mourning the loss on social media.
Perdomo, who played Andre Anderson on Gen V, a spinoff of The Boys, died in a motorcycle accident on Saturday, according to a statement from his publicist. He was 27 years old.
“This hurts. A lot,” actor Patrick Schwarzenegger wrote on X on Saturday. “What a young, talented actor and a great friend — gone way too soon. Was a pleasure to work with him in Gen V. R.I.P., Chance.”
And when a fan replied to that post with a screenshot of Luke Riordan, Schwarzenegger’s character, hugging Andre, Schwarzenegger wrote, “Damn, that just made me tear up.”

So much talent and a warm soul. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones, may he rest in peace.”
