Like all sane tv fan, I enormously admired the work of the late Lance Reddick, who died on March 17 of pure causes. The prolific actor was finest recognized for portraying Cedric Daniels on The Wire, Charon within the John Wick franchise, and his magnetic performances in a bevy of high-profile initiatives (White Home Down, Fringe, Oz, and Misplaced, to call just a few). Whereas I liked Reddick in these roles, my private favorites will at all times be his work as Christian DeVille in Comedy Central’s underappreciated anti-workplace comedy Company and, in fact, Police Chief Irvin Irving on Amazon’s long-running police drama Bosch.
The Season 2 premiere of Amazon Freevee’s Bosch: Legacy paid tribute to each Reddick and former forged member Annie Wersching (Officer Julia Brasher, who died of most cancers in January 2023), with the episode starting with a message that learn “In Loving Reminiscence of Our Mates Annie Wersching and Lance Reddick.” Earlier than Reddick handed away, he filmed his first and last look on the spinoff, which befell through the second season finale (“A Step Forward”).
The scene is a reunion between Irvin and Honey Chandler (Mimi Rogers), and it doesn’t take lengthy to seek out out what former Police Chief Irving has been as much as because the occasions of the sequence finale of Bosch.
“Properly, you’re wanting glossy and sassy,” Honey says upon Irv’s arrival. “The personal sector agrees with you.”
Honey desires Irving’s endorsement to run towards District Lawyer Emmett Archer. The entire scene lasts lower than two minutes, however, fortunately, Bosch followers are handled to Irving’s signature catchphrase:
There it’s. That’s the stuff. “Fucking Bosch” is a phrase I grew to become fairly aware of again in 2021 after I grew to become the quickest particular person in recorded human historical past to observe all seven seasons of Bosch. I even embraced my inside center schooler and made a “Lance Reddick saying the phrase Bosch” collage, which, in my view, was time very nicely spent.
Fortunately, Bosch: Legacy has been renewed for a 3rd season. We’ll see you in 2024, Bosch followers.
