The world of film and television is mourning the tragic loss of Chance Perdomo, a gifted young actor whose life was cut short at just 27 years old in a motorcycle accident. Known to millions as Landon in the After film series (from After We Fell onwards), Perdomo’s untimely passing has left fans, friends, and colleagues in shock. His warmth, charisma, and undeniable talent made him a rising star, and his absence will be deeply felt.
A Star on the Rise
Chance Perdomo was born in Los Angeles but raised in the United Kingdom, where he discovered his love for acting at a young age. His unique cultural background, combined with a passion for performance, gave him a distinctive presence on screen. He first drew attention with roles in British television, notably Killed by My Debt, which earned him a BAFTA nomination. But it was his turn as Ambrose Spellman in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina that introduced him to an international audience.
Fans loved Ambrose for his wit, vulnerability, and complexity — traits Perdomo infused into every role he played. Offscreen, he was known for his kindness and infectious smile, the kind that could light up a room and make anyone feel at ease.
Stepping Into the After Universe
In 2021, Chance joined the After franchise as Landon Gibson, taking over the role from Shane Paul McGhie starting in After We Fell. Landon, the steady and dependable best friend to Tessa and Hardin, was a grounding presence in the whirlwind romance at the heart of the series.
Perdomo brought new life to the character, portraying Landon as warm, compassionate, and quietly strong. Fans appreciated the authenticity he brought to the role, making Landon not just a supporting character, but a deeply memorable part of the After world. His performance added depth to the later films, especially as Landon’s own story began to unfold in the series’ conclusion, After Everything.
Beyond the Screen
Colleagues have described Perdomo as a joy to work with — a consummate professional who was also quick with a joke, making long days on set feel lighter. Director Castille Landon praised his dedication and natural talent, while co-stars spoke about his generosity, both as an actor and as a friend.
Paige Spara, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, and Josephine Langford, along with many others in the After family, have expressed their heartbreak publicly. Their tributes reflect the same themes: Chance’s warmth, his infectious energy, and his genuine care for those around him.
Fans, too, have flooded social media with messages of grief and gratitude. Many shared their favorite Landon moments, behind-the-scenes interviews, and personal encounters with the actor. For some, meeting Chance at fan events or online interactions left an impression that will never fade.
An Artist With Big Dreams
Although his time in the public eye was relatively short, Perdomo had big ambitions. In interviews, he often spoke about his desire to take on roles that challenged him — to tell stories that mattered. He gravitated toward characters with depth and complexity, roles that allowed him to explore the nuances of human emotion.
His career was already diversifying beyond After and Sabrina. Chance was reportedly attached to new projects, including action roles and dramatic parts that would have showcased even more of his range. It’s a painful reminder of how much potential was still ahead of him, and how much more he had to offer the world.
The Tragedy of a Life Cut Short
The motorcycle accident that claimed Chance’s life has sent shockwaves through the entertainment community. At only 27, he was at the cusp of what promised to be an extraordinary career. His death is a devastating loss not just because of his talent, but because of the person he was — compassionate, humble, and endlessly passionate about his craft.
While details of the accident remain private out of respect for his family, the outpouring of love from fans and friends alike underscores how deeply he was cherished.
A Legacy That Lives On
Chance Perdomo’s body of work may be small compared to some actors with decades-long careers, but the impact he made is undeniable. His portrayal of Landon will remain a beloved part of the After saga, and his performance as Ambrose in Sabrina continues to win over new audiences.
In a time when fame can sometimes overshadow authenticity, Chance stood out for being true to himself. He navigated the industry with grace, never losing sight of the importance of human connection. That authenticity is what will keep his memory alive in the hearts of those who knew him personally and those who knew him through his work.
Honoring His Memory
For fans, one of the most meaningful ways to honor Chance’s memory is to revisit his performances — to celebrate the joy and depth he brought to his characters. Whether it’s Landon’s quiet loyalty or Ambrose’s sharp humor, these roles now serve as a lasting testament to his artistry. The After fandom, in particular, has rallied around his legacy, sharing fan art, video tributes, and heartfelt messages. Many are also encouraging support for causes Chance cared about, ensuring that his passion for making a difference extends beyond his life. Saying goodbye to someone so young and full of promise feels deeply unfair. But in remembering Chance Perdomo, we are reminded of the power of storytelling, of how a single performance can touch countless lives. His talent, kindness, and spirit will not be forgotten. As fans, we thank him for the characters he gave us, for the joy he brought to the screen, and for the inspiration he offered to those chasing their own dreams. To his family, friends, and co-stars, we send our deepest condolences.
