Netflix’s latest adult animation series Farzar comes from the creators of Brickleberry and Paradise PD, Roger Black and Waco O’Guin. The ten-episode series, which premiered July 15, stars Lance Reddick, who has also appeared in Paradise PD, Fringe, and John Wick, as the self-obsessed human warrior Renzo who freed the planet Farzar from the evil alien Bazarack. As the show continues, the planet falls under attack, again.
While esteemed in the animation genre, Reddick doesn’t just lend his voice to television shows. He is also the voice behind Commander Zavala in the Destiny video game franchise. Since 2014, the actor has voiced the character in nine Destiny video games, including the latest ones: Destiny 2: Beyond Light and Destiny 2: The Witch Queen.
