Critical Role Has Good News About The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3

Key Takeaways

  • Lance Reddick recorded all voice lines for Thordak in The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3 before passing away.
  • Fans can experience Reddick’s acting as Thordak in the upcoming season.
  • Reddick will have several posthumous releases, including The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3, showcasing his talent.

As a devoted fan and admirer of Lance Reddick’s exceptional talent, I eagerly anticipate his portrayal of Thordak in The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3. It is heartening to know that despite his untimely passing, we will still have the privilege of witnessing his brilliance on screen one last time.

Lance Reddick recorded his voice lines for Thordak in The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3 before he passed away. This means the third season of Critical Role’s Dungeons and Dragons-inspired animated series will be one of the last places for Reddick’s fans to experience his acting.

The animated show “The Legend of Vox Machina” is derived from the initial campaign of “Critical Role,” a real-life game of “Dungeons & Dragons” that has significantly contributed to the popularity of tabletop RPGs over the past ten years. In the second season, the Chroma Conclave, a ruthless group of vengeful and power-hungry dragons, serve as the primary villains, with Lance Reddick providing the voice for Thordak the Cinder King, their commander. Regrettably, Reddick passed away in March 2023, one month following the conclusion of the second season, casting doubt on his participation in the subsequent seasons.

In a positive turn of events for Reddick fans, the popular series Critical Role has some exciting news. During the unveiling of the trailer for The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3, astute viewers picked up on Reddick’s distinctive voice in scenes featuring Thordak. On the official Discord server for Critical Role’s Beacon streaming service, fellow voice actor and cast member Sam Riegel shared that Reddick had completed recording all of Thordak’s lines prior to his passing, ensuring the show would not need to replace him.

Lance Reddick as Thordak in The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3

Reddick boasts more than a hundred acting roles under his belt, with his portrayals of Charon in John Wick and Cedric Daniels in The Wire being two of his most celebrated live-action performances. Gaming enthusiasts will be familiar with him as Commander Zavala from Destiny 1 and 2, as well as Sylens from the Horizon series. His roles in The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3, Percy Jackson and the Olympians (as Zeus), and Invincible: Atom Eve (voicing Steven Erickson) are among several projects that were released posthumously.

Beyond three other films featuring Reddick – the post-apocalyptic tale St. Sebastian, the sci-fi thriller Apteros, and the John Wick spinoff titled Ballerina – are slated to premiere following Season 3 of The Legend of Vox Machina. While his portrayal of Thordak might not be his last acting appearance, it’s definitely one that fans won’t want to skip.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t contain my excitement as the third season of “The Legend of Vox Machina” sets sail on Amazon Prime Video starting October 3. Having followed the first Critical Role campaign closely, I knew this journey would be an emotional ride. But I can’t help but feel a tinge of sadness at the prospect of Reddick concluding Thordak’s tale – a moment that might just be one of the most poignantly bitter in the show’s history.
