The series, The Offer, is about the journey behind the production of the Academy Award-winning film The Godfather. It is an interesting series that many people have watched. However, this series has an introduction of a particular character named Eddie Kurland. People have been wondering if Kurland is a real-life person or not. In this article, we are going to explore if Eddie Kurland is real.
Who Is Eddie Kurland?
Throughout the series, The Offer, there was no mention of anybody named Eddie Kurland but in the tenth episode. In that very episode fans are introduced to this character, and since then fans have been intrigued by him. Eddie Kurland is a young fellow who suddenly makes his appearance known to everybody in the series and the audience in the tenth episode particularly.
As far as the evidence goes, there is no real-life person called Eddie Kurland with whom Al Ruddy was acquainted. Okay, so why has this extra addition been done to a series that is sort of a biography?
The sole reason behind the introduction of this character is to give more substance to the character of Al Ruddy. The creators probably wanted to show that Al Ruddy’s ideas, even though did not appeal to his partner, Robert Evans, appealed to a stranger which signifies that his idea will appeal to the audience as well. This in turn indicates that since a stranger likes Al Ruddy’s idea, the audience, too, will love the upcoming film.
