In one of the final Snowfall scenes, there was a tribute to the show’s creator John Singleton, who died in 2019 at 51.
In its finale, FX show Snowfall took a moment to honor late filmmaker and series creator John Singleton. One of the show’s last scenes in the final episode, “The Struggle,” features Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) and Leon Simmons (Isaiah John) taking a stroll in their South Central Los Angeles neighborhood, where they stop past a movie shoot in-progress. Saint jokes that the film probably won’t win an Oscar, and there appears to be a character portraying a young Singleton in the directors chair.
Yes, that movie set is a tribute to the late great John Singleton and his iconic directorial debut “Boyz n the Hood.” What a great full-circle moment to tie to his big career start to its ending. #SnowfallFX pic.twitter.com/QRZRzsTBCQ

John Singleton said when he used to go around South Central with his camera the drug dealers would get upset and ask why he was acting as surveillance for the cops. John would tell them he was gonna tell their story, which he ended up doing… pic.twitter.com/G9LHd6g8ma
