Nelsan Ellis as Lafayette on True Blood

@suntannie "Tip yo waitress" get me every time

Him and Tara got me together EVERY TIME!!!

literally watched true blood cause of him

a real scene stealer, i hope he’s resting easy

He carried that entire rough 1st season long enough for people get a taste for Bon Temps and for HBO to take that Godawful struggle wig off Eric and then never dropped that energy. Every scene was better with him in it

Fucking iconic for so many reasons!!! That scene locked me into the entire show!!! Rest in Perfection!!! 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Mind you in the book series His character don’t make it past the first book, but Ellis brought such charisma and innate talent to the role the writers knew to keep him and GOOD cause he carried the show. Love and miss you Ellis ❤️

You gonna eat my food the way I fuckin make it! Nelsan said he played that Rihanna and he would be ready! I wish I could've met him 😮‍💨

he made me feel so comfortable being gay and feminine when i was younger bro like this character did so much good for me it’s fucking crazy
