Telling a story sprung from grief and loss has stretched me as an artist and healed me as a human. I’ll be forever indebted to my partners in crime, my friends for life, Christina and Linda, and our brilliantly talented writers, cast and crew. I am beyond grateful to Netflix for supporting Dead To Me from day one, and I’m thrilled to continue our collaboration.”

Cordero’s wife, Amanda Kloots, posted on Instagram on Sunday afternoon, saying, “My darling husband passed away this morning. He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth.”  Kloots captioned a black-and-white photo of her husband with the caption, “I am in disbelief and hurting everywhere. My heart is broken as I cannot imagine our lives without him. Nick was such a bright light. He was everyone’s friend, loved to listen, help and especially talk. He was an incredible actor and musician. He loved his family and loved being a father and husband. Elvis and I will miss him in everything we do, everyday.”  She ended her post with a thank you to everyone who supported her and her husband throughout his battle.

Cordero was admitted to Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on March 31, where he had been unconscious in an intensive care unit. He was initially diagnosed with pneumonia, but later tested positive for the virus on April 1. Weeks later, Cordero underwent a procedure to have his right leg amputated on April 18. 

Cordero was a huge star in the Broadway world, working in productions of Waitress and originated the role of Sonny in A Bronx Tale. In 2014, Cordero received a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actor for his performance as Cheech in Bullets Over Broadway. He also earned nominations from the Drama Desk Awards and Drama League Awards.

Jason Momoa will be the voice Frosty the Snowman, bringing him to life in an upcoming live-action remake as a new computer-generated version of Frosty.

David Berenbaum, who wrote the classic Christmas movie Elf, is penning the new Frosty script, with Jon Berg, Greg Silverman, Geoff Johns and Momoa as producers. Berg said in a statement, “From his role as a fearsome count in a land of ice and fire to the oceanic success we all had with Aquaman, it felt only right to realize Jason this time out of snow.” Silverman added, “we know Jason’s as a true human being filled with love, compassion and a deep connection to ohana – all of which is the living spirit of Xmas and Frosty.”

The classic character made his animated debut in the 1969, based on the 1950s Christmas song of the same name.
