You've got the North in you - the real North." ― Tormund Snowfall's Franklin Saint isn't a real person, but enough truth went into the character to make him feel real to audiences. "I studied them for the accent, and incorporated it and found it myself and with the character of Franklin." Jordan," Idris told Interview magazine in June 2017. "My hero is Denzel Washington, and then I looked at someone around a similar age to me who was American who is also an idol, Michael B. Meanwhile, the actor who plays Franklin, Damson Idris, looked to specific American actors when crafting Franklin's accent, because Idris himself is British. The surname Saint was intended as "dramatic irony," considering the direction Franklin's story goes.

He starts off dealing weed to rich kids at school, but graduates to selling crack cocaine for the mob.

But Franklin's trajectory is very different. There may be touches of Singleton's experiences to add to the realism of the series, with The Hollywood Reporter writing that Singleton referred to Franklin's story as "kind of like my formative years" at an ATX Festival panel for the show.

Over the past four seasons, the show has used fictional characters to explore real events. But that doesn't mean Snowfall is without factual basis. As Franklin gets pulled deeper into the world of dealing, so does the audience, leaving many wondering if the Snowfall character is also a real person.
