![]() I assumed Nelsan was going to be in my life forever and this has been a shocking reminder of how fragile life is. They are in my heart and thoughts all the time. I can't even imagine how much pain Nelsan's son and family are in right now. 7 years of intense bonding and subsequent years in which, regardless of distance and schedules, the love has remained and the gratitude for how rare and special those relationships are has only grown. #trueblood was a real family, cast and crew. He made me a better actor by raising the bar absurdly high but always extending a hand to help his scene partners clear it. ![]() But I always knew I was completely safe with Nelsan because he would never let me fall. Sookie and Lafayette had some crazy adventures both emotionally and sometimes physically demanding and intimidating to me as a performer. His ability to transcend and channel anything and everything thrown at him was inspiring and beautiful to watch. ![]() Nelsan inhabited characters that bore no resemblance to himself in a way that put him in that tiny category of true virtuoso performer. But that's because that beautiful, gifted man was also the most humble artist I've ever had the pleasure of knowing or working with. I've been looking for pictures of our #trueblood family that I feel truly represent how important and loved Nelsan was to us all both creatively and as a human and I literally can't find one where he is front and center or in any way claiming the spotlight he deserved and belonged in.
