"I got about two days on set with Lance and he was an absolute pleasure to be around," Harlow, 25, said when asked about his late costar.

"I'm so glad you brought the legend up," Harlow added of Reddick. "Rest in peace to Lance."

The rapper turned actor also told the outlet Thursday that his first time acting for the screen "felt good" and intimated he may pursue more acting roles moving forward.
