One of Perdomo’s most famous roles was as Ambrose Spellman, a lead character on Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina. The four-season show was a far cry from the Melissa Joan Hart-fronted Sabrina The Teenage Witch. Created by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the Netflix show set its Archie Comics characters a town over from the titular location of Aguirre-Sacasa’s Riverdale, and employed a more spooky and salacious tone than its forerunner – although some of the original Sabrina actors came calling. Perdomo’s character was a cousin to Sabrina Spellman and a powerful, pansexual warlock who specialised in necromancy and is initially under house arrest. He often served as a sort of voice of reason on the show, which wrapped in 2020. He starred alongside Kiernan Shipka, Miranda Otto, Tati Gabrielle, Ross Lynch and, again, Sinclair. Aguirre-Sacasa posted a tribute to Perdomo on Instagram on Saturday, sharing behind-the-scenes photos from Sabrina. “Besides being one of the most talented young actors I’ve ever had the privilege to work with, @chance_perdomo was, truly, a light. A generous, funny, open-hearted, wildly intelligent, and fiercely complex and soulful human being,” …
