The Real Reason Tank's Character Was Killed Off In The Matrix

Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Ann Moss, Laurence Fishburne, and Hugo Weaving all reprised their roles from The Matrix in both of the film's sequels, but there was one notable actor who did not.

Chong has his side of the story, and Lana and Lily Wachowski have theirs, but let's take a look at the real reason why Tank's character was killed off in the sequels to The Matrix.
