John Singleton's Legacy Lives on Through the Tearjerking Finale of 'Snowfall'.
The series finale of "Snowfall" saw the downfall of its anti-hero Franklin Saint, played by Damson Idris, as he lost everything due to his involvement in the cocaine business in Los Angeles. The emotional ending was ad-libbed by Idris, who left the production crew in tears. The show's writers revealed that killing Franklin was never part of their plans. The finale served as an exploration of the U.S. crack epidemic's beginnings in South Central, Los Angeles, and was celebrated with the unveiling of a lounge named after the late director John Singleton at USC's School of Cinematic Arts.
