Nelsan made True Blood something special...something NOW...a proud gay black man...portrayed with real energy and unapologetic...Lafayette was "love me I like you, hate me then F$%# you" lol...his character gave the audience balance to all the supernatural ish that was going on...Lafayette was going through it like we were...everytime I would say, "Oh hell naw" his character would express it lol...I'll watch some episodes on blu-ray in honor of him...he was brilliant and really made the show a must watch...one of the best shows EVER.
