Lance Reddick, 'The Wire' and 'John Wick' star, dies at 60

[Aristus]

6. Tall, taciturn, and elegant.

That sure described his small, one-episode-only role as a DC cop trying to track down anyone who might know a homeless man who froze to death on The National Mall.

This was in one of the most moving, astonishingly lovely episodes of “The West Wing”.

Reddick played the cop as smart, thorough, and mission-first. The character’s one mistake was failing to note that the homeless man was a Korean War veteran.
