He auditioned for multiple roles including Bubbles and Bunk Moreland but was ultimately cast as Cedric. Just as his time on The Wire was wrapping up, he joined Lost. He is among the five other actors to star in HBO's Oz. Reddick gained a reputation for playing tough, mysterious, and sometimes conniving characters with complex motives of their own. This really came to light with his performance in Fringe as paranormal activities investigator Phillip Broyles. Reddick called Broyles "a real hard-ass, but he's also one of the good guys." That can describe many of his characters, to varying degrees. In the John Wick franchise, he tried telling the titular hero the hotel has no service to care for his dog - but ended up quite enjoying the task anyway.
