How do we describe True Blood’s Lafayette, played by the incomparable Nelsan Ellis? As a man of many words and iconic sayings, it’s best if he tells you himself. #HBO #TrueBlood

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 passed away? 😔
*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!
He was an amazing actor. His portrayal of Lafayette was one of the reasons my Mom and I watched the show.
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.

We all can learn a thing or two from queen Lafayette.
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😢😢
"Creepy Spirit Thingy...why you in Sookie Bathroom?" Was my mantra for like two weeks!
My favorite in the entire series, so sad that Nelsan passed.
We lost a good man when we lost Nelsan.😥
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💐
Lafayette is always iconic. Nelsan should have been nominated for all the awards.

Queen Lafayette rocked, he really made the show.
Nelsan, showed the world who he was and he had so much more to give.
He really made that show! RIP 💕
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 🙏🏾
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.
Lafayette was my favorite character on true blood. Broke my heart when he passed.
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
I need someone like him in my life so bad... just a great person, so much love for him❤
Nelsan was so freaking awesome that they kept his character even tho Lafayette died in the book.
I LIVED for Lafayette!! Rest in Power 🙏🏽
RIP Lafayette. You are among the great ones.
Lafayette was my favorite. So sad Nelson is gone, he was fantastic 💜
Lafayette was the best thing of the entire show.
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!
Iconic character, iconic actor. Rest in power Nelsan, forever appreciated and missed 💜
REST IN PEACE U WAS THE BEST ACTOR I EVER SEEN AND MADE THE ROLE POP. REST EASY BRUH.
Lafayette was one of the BEST things about True Blood...such talent.
Miss you my brotha. There will never be another one like you. May the Gods rest and bless your soul.
May he Rest In Peace! The world needs more of him in this world!
I loved him. I think I might binge True Blood just to see La La
I wish I had a friend like him.
We miss you amazing actor!!! R.I.P Love from Sweden
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.
This gives me LIFE, so long as I can keep my sadness at his passing at bay, thanks for an awesome compilation, saving this vid
The man was one of a kind and that kind is amazing! Without competition and by far the best actor of these series.
he will never be forgotten , one of my favorites ❤️
I never watched this show, but it seems like he was the true star. RIP.
I MISS HIM AND HE MADE THIS SHOW SO GREAT AND ENTERTAINING!!! GOD REST HIS SOUL!!!!
Loved Lafayette. Broke my heart when I heard of his passing. So much talent gone.
Lafayette kept me watching this show. RIP Nelsan 💔
I was literally looking for how to re-watch this yesterday! Also RIP to this amazing actor 😔

Nelsan our one true king.
Such a shame the way he died but he left behind something for the fans to enjoy for years to come.
"Got a lot on my mind lately" 👀 "That must feel new" DEAD
RIP Nelsan... this was such a great show..
“That must feel new” 😂
I'd forgotten how fun he was to watch in that role.
God bless him. I miss that actor.
It's always the weird stuff thats the best. He GOT it.
Truly miss this series........
God bless him, the actor that is.
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.
Really do miss this show and really miss Nelson. RIP sir 🙏🏾
Miss him every day, he made the show amazing with every scene oof. No matter how far down the show went, Nelsan kept us with it ❤❤❤❤
Man, I miss him. He would've gone on to an amazing career.
One of the Best TV Characters EVER!!!!

It feels like some kind of cosmic crime that Nelsan was taken so soon. RIP to a truly talented artist 💖
Oh he's just so awesome! Really enjoyed his character! My top 3 favorite
It still hurts me like i knew Nelson personally 😭😭 Rest in paradise king. I would have loved to see more of his acting, especially in Pose or P-Valley. He would have been an excellent rival for Uncle P. 😢
