Nick Cordero \u2011 the Tony award-nominated Broadway actor who starred in hit musicals including Waitress, A Bronx Tale and Bullets Over Broadway \u2011 has died in Los Angeles from severe medical complications after contracting coronavirus. He was 41.<\/p>\n

Cordero died on July 5, 2020, at Cedars-Sinai hospital after spending more than 90 days in the hospital, The Guardian<\/a> quoted his wife Amanda Kloots as saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod has another angel in heaven now,\u201d she posted on Instagram. \u201cNick was such a bright light. He was everyone\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cordero reportedly entered the emergency room on 30 March and had a succession of health setbacks including mini-strokes, blood clots, sepsis infections, a tracheostomy and a temporary pacemaker implant. He had been on a ventilator and unconscious and had his right leg amputated. A double lung transplant was being explored.<\/p>\n

Kloots sent him daily videos of her and their one-year-old son, Elvis, and urged friends and fans to join a daily sing-a-long. She has said it was difficult to tell whether Cordero understood what was happening, but when he was alert he could respond by looking up and down. A GoFundMe page to pay for medical expenses has raised over $600,000.<\/p>\n

Cordero played Earl in the Broadway hit Waitress, and the role of Sonny in Chazz Palminteri\u2019s A Bronx Tale. He met Kloots while starring in Bullets Over Broadway, a 2014 stage adaptation of Woody Allen\u2019s 1994 film, in which she also performed. Cordero was nominated for a Tony for his role as Cheech. The two married in 2017.<\/p>\n

Cordero also appeared in several episodes of Blue Bloods and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and had a role in the 2017 film Going in Style.<\/p>\n

He was last onstage in a Kennedy Center presentation of Little Shop of Horrors.<\/p>\n
