Nick Cordero spent 95 days battling COVID-19 before his wife, Amanda Kloots revealed the news on Sunday evening that he had lost his fight earlier in the day. Cordero’s passing sparked quite the response from many heartbroken actors on Broadway where the late actor starred in musicals like Bullets Over Broadway and A Bronx Tale.
Cordero clearly left a lasting impact on many in the industry, including one of his longtime friends, Zach Braff, who also appeared in Bullets Over Broadway. Braff said he has “never met a kinder human being.” Kloots echoed those same words in the Instagram post in which she announced the tragic news, calling him “such a bright light.” She explained that Cordero was “everyone’s friend” and that he enjoyed listening and talking with everyone. Kloots had documented his battle with the coronavirus ever since his diagnosis at the end of March and remained by his side up until his final days.

Incredibly sad news. Can we please do what we need to do as a country to fight this virus together? It doesn’t care how healthy you are. It doesn’t care if you want to go to Fire Island. It doesn’t care if you are tired of wearing a mask. Reign. It. In. https://t.co/sae9sLQYv1
