Most recently, Perdomo portrayed Andre Anderson in the first season of "Gen V," the college-focused spin-off of Amazon Prime's popular series "The Boys."

The producers of "Gen V" expressed their grief in a statement to People Magazine, saying, "We can’t quite wrap our heads around this. Chance was always charming, smiling, and an incredibly talented performer. He was a kind and lovely person. We are deeply sorry for Chance’s family and are grieving the loss of our friend and colleague."
Statements from Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television were also shared with People, expressing their condolences and support for Perdomo's family and loved ones.
Perdomo's previous notable role was as Ambrose Spellman in the Netflix supernatural horror series "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" from 2018 to 2020. He also portrayed Landon in the last three films of the "After" series.
Born in Los Angeles and raised in Southampton, England, Perdomo initially planned to study law but chose to pursue acting instead. He made his acting debut in a 2017 episode of the popular British children's drama series "Hetty Feather."
