HBO Rocks!!
He brought so much to that role. Lafayette was the reason I continued to watch that show once it strayed so far from the books. May he rest in power ❤️
He's the reason I started watching it in the first place.
@@vuksgitau Me too!
He turned a bit part (in the books) into a fantastic character in this series. Such a great loss to the entertainment industry!🥀😢.
My favorite character for sure
Yessss!
He left so soon… he would’ve been perfect in Pose. I just wish he knew how much we all loved him and needed him.
Or p-valley
@@goodmusiq3539 oh. My. Gawd. YES
I miss him! He was SO GOOD!
Perfectly said! I miss him soooo much! Such a Gifted and Talented actor! 🕊❤
And P Valley
*Nelsan Ellis wasn’t just Lafayette Reynolds, he WAS True Blood!*
He was that voice that everyone needed to hear. He was the fun, the masquerade, the tea party & the block party. He was the main event. People think the show was about Sookie & her lovers… NOPE! Maybe that’s how it was in the books (I wouldn’t know, I still haven’t read them yet) but the show? The show was about how everybody needed Lafayette in their lives & I applaud HBO for giving us someone so unique, inspirational & fabulous to fall in love with.
And I’m glad that even though the show has been off the air for years, people are still putting respect on Lafayette’s name. That shows that he truly was a magnificent character portrayed by a brilliant Actor.
Rest in Power, Nelsan Ellis 💜
Wow, so eloquently said! And alll so very true!
RIP Nelsan & thanks for an exceptional job on playing an iconic character.
on CREATING an iconic character! what a joy. thank you Nelsan
He passed away? 😔
He and Eric were the only reasons I kept watching this show, which could be awful at times… but Nelsan’s portrayal of Lafayette was masterful. RIP to this very talented man.
And Pam too , they made the show.
ME TOO!!!!
Me too ❤
Lafayette, Pam and Eric in THAT order. The UNHOLY trinity.
He was an amazing actor. His portrayal of Lafayette was one of the reasons my Mom and I watched the show.
I was about to be upset if the burger scene wasn’t included. Best moment ever
I will be patient than!!
LoL 😊
We all can learn a thing or two from queen Lafayette.
"Creepy Spirit Thingy...why you in Sookie Bathroom?" Was my mantra for like two weeks!
Despite all the things Lafayetye was, he was impossible to hate. Best character in the show! RIP Nelsan ❤
Lafayette was the best part of True Blood. Nelsan was brilliant. RIP😢😢
Miss LaFayette. Nelsan Ellis did a very good job with his portrayal. He cracked me up. RIP.
My favorite in the entire series, so sad that Nelsan passed.
I just learned that this fine actor passed away and I’m still stunned. How can this be that a tragedy like this can happen in this day and age? Someone failed this poor soul, my condolences to his family💐
"I likes a big man."
The subtle eye brow raise is gold! He didn't seem to mind...
Yeah ! He was with it lol !
There will NEVER be another character like Lafayette or any other actor to bring Lafayette to life!!!!! NEVER!!!!!! ❤❤ r.i.p.
I'm rewatching True Blood for the 3rd time and I'm falling in love wit him more and more! He was truly a great actor, R.I.P
I rewatch it all the time. The characters were so well developed even if the storylines were a bit wacky LOL. I truly loved this show.
@@danielbanes5823 omg yes!!! Totally agree
I have watched True blood maybe five times since I purchased the box set will be watching them again soon, also read the books three times all thirteen of them including the extra ones which brings the total of 19 books (reading them all over again)
@@valeriecampbell9581 I've seen considering reading the books
My 3rd time now 2022. Still love all of it & Nelson a very special part - - ❤️❤️ty. RIP
Best character on TV EVER!! When he passed my heart really did break. He was so talented
We lost a good man when we lost Nelsan.😥
Lafayette is always iconic. Nelsan should have been nominated for all the awards.
TRUTH RIGHT THERE!!
I agree he put his heart into the show he became true blood
Absolutely!
I’m glad they finished this compilation with the best scene in the entire true blood series. RIP Nelsan
Nelsan, showed the world who he was and he had so much more to give.
Queen Lafayette rocked, he really made the show.
He was the reason I watched True Blood, I kept seeing that aids burger clip along with him passing so glad it kept recommending me R.I.P. to him 🙏🏾
He really made that show! RIP 💕
Lafayette was my favorite character on the show! Nelsan did a brilliant job, perfect. May he rest in peace.
Nelson as an actor was undeniably great. Nelson as Lafayette was EVERYTHING. So many memorable characters from the show and Lafayette still stands out with his wit, sass and ferocity. Definitely one of my favorite tv characters of all time. An unforgettable portrayal. Rest in Power, Nelson.
I can’t believe he died , I feel even worse that I some how didn’t hear about it. He was my favorite character in true blood and one of the best actors. I always expected him to be in so many other HBO shows. So sad and honestly a shame he lost his battle at just 39. RIP brother
Lafayette was my favorite. So sad Nelson is gone, he was fantastic 💜
I need someone like him in my life so bad... just a great person, so much love for him❤
I LIVED for Lafayette!! Rest in Power 🙏🏽
RIP Lafayette. You are among the great ones.
Lafayette was my favorite character on true blood. Broke my heart when he passed.
Rest in Power baby. You made this character real. I wish I could kick it with you. Your taglines along with your swag are iconic!

I MISS HIM AND HE MADE THIS SHOW SO GREAT AND ENTERTAINING!!! GOD REST HIS SOUL!!!!
Lafayette's character was a riot. I use to live for 'True Blood' weekly because it was a unique series next to 'Six Feet Under'. I loved both these HBO series.
The man was one of a kind and that kind is amazing! Without competition and by far the best actor of these series.
I never watched this show, but it seems like he was the true star. RIP.
he will never be forgotten , one of my favorites ❤️
Loved Lafayette. Broke my heart when I heard of his passing. So much talent gone.

He & this show were & are STILL EVERYTHING.
Easily one of my favorite characters, so fun. He brought so much nuance to Lafayette, made him so complex. Just super memorable.
One of my absolute favorites on the show Lafayette absolutely hilarious 😂
He would have been someone I would have loved to have been my best friend
I think Lafayette and Pam were my favorite characters, the rest seem to not have a clue.
I know right
True blood is an incredible... I absolutely loved and Lafayette.... He was amazing... So sad that he's no longer with us.😢😢
We will miss him. RIP

This made me cry soooo much! I loved his acting and watched other shows with him he was great! R.I.P
It's always the weird stuff thats the best. He GOT it.
the best character. I cried when Nelsan passed.
Such a shame the way he died but he left behind something for the fans to enjoy for years to come.
The best character in the show❤
I loved Andy Bellflour too! In the books he never really liked Sookie, and Lafayette died in the beginning of second book. Arlene was a psycho in the book too lol. I love the changes in the show.
the music changes are perfect this is such a good edit r.i.p nelsan baby
I'd forgotten how fun he was to watch in that role.
What a Legend! Your light went out way too soon!
