Damson Idris absolutely, positively, needs an Emmy for his #SnowfallFX performance. If not to get what he’s owed for these last 6 seasons, this finale proves that he’s mastered this role. He made Franklin Saint what we know him to be. He deserves all the awards for it. pic.twitter.com/MQaTgBqVSO

Snowfall ended perfectly. That’s how a lotta our fathers and uncles crashed out in the 80s early 90s. Damson Idris deserves Emmy award btw his performance throughout the show was special.

Humorously, some were a bit sterner than others in their demands. The fans definitely came thru and advocated for Damson!

I’m serious… if Damson Idris doesn’t get an Emmy for this… #SnowfallFX pic.twitter.com/9RoElKtbZh

Additionally, it was noted that Damson “played like three people” in the finale: “A desperate man with nothing, then a villain, then a washed-up drunk.”

Damson Idris played like 3 people in that last episode. A desperate man with nothing, then a villain, then a washed up drunk. He deserve an Oscar for his acting in Snowfall.

the range Damson Idris was able to display, while staying within the confines of Franklin Saint…on television, for six seasons, is to be studied.
