Breaking Bad Fan Kevin Cordasco Featured in Cameo Before Passing Away Due To Cancer
Kevin Cordasco, a 16-year-old fan of the hit TV series Breaking Bad passed away after his six year battle with cancer, but his dreams came true before death came knocking on his door. Last Sunday's episode of the series was dedicated to him, and he was even able to play a cameo role, MSN Now reports.
In fact the big twist during the episode, when Walter White was brought out of the retirement, was all courtesy of Kevin, Yahoo TV adds.
As Kevin was nearing his battle's end, the creator of the show Vince Gilligan paid the young teen a visit. Gilligan even dedicated the final eight episodes of Breaking Bad to him. The creator even offered Kevin once how the show will end but he still planned then to live longer and see it for himself.
Kevin may have missed on how the show will end but he was able to contribute to the most important developments of the show. When Gilligan asked him what he felt was missing during a Breaking Bad podcast, Kevin answered with all honesty. "You know what, I want to know more about Gretchen and Elliott. I want to know more about Walt's backstory with them. I want to know what happened," Kevin requested.
This idea led Gilligan and the rest of the writers to reintroduce the characters Kevin mentioned and even relate them again to the story. In fact, in the last scene of the Granite State episode, Walt was about to turn himself in when he catches his ex business partners, Gretchen and Elliott interviewed on TV. The two said that Walt did not contribute anything to their success which led for Walt to come back to New Mexico instead.
With Kevin's suggestion he wish would happen in his favorite show before he even passed away, it proved to everyone that he himself is one tough and unbeatable kid.
