Marvel Studios and Luke Cage star Mike Colter are mourning the loss of prolific actor Reg E. Cathey, whose final role was playing Luke Cage?s father in the upcoming season 2 of the Netflix series. Fans and the entertainment industry were shocked to learn of the sudden passing of Cathey, who died Friday at age 59 after a reported battle with lung cancer. Cathey, whose career spanned more than 30 years with more than 80 roles on both film and television, was perhaps best known for his turns in the TV dramas Oz, The Wire and House of Cards, the latter of which earned him a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in 2015.
