It's heartbreaking hearing him cough. Such a brilliant actor.

[DarkSkies]

So sad to hear of his passing. Anyone could have said his lines but no one could have delivered them the way Nelsan did. He was a real gem. RIP Nelsan ❤️

I've been rewatching True Blood for the first time in many years and, once again, Mr. Nelsan Ellis is the primary reason to watch this show. Lafayette Reynolds is absolutely magnetic.

You can tell he didn't feel well during this. Amazing, talented man you will be missed RIP

[SusieRN]

Awwww LaLa was not well at this point. He died of Congestive Heart Failure and that cough was a definite sign of him not feeling well. So young and such a great talent. RIP

[Daystar]

I just can't believe it. I'll miss him. LaLa was my favorite character.

I’m sorry I watched this. Breaks my heart to see him unwell like that.☹️

Rest In Freedom Brother King Nelsan Ellis!!! Gone... but NEVER forgotten! :-(

He was versatile and talented. He will be missed...RIP Nelsan

It was his ability to do improv and to make Lafayette larger than life that kept Lafayette to the very end of the True Blood TV series. The book 1 of the book series was very close to the first season of True Blood, but book 2 of the book series began with it being Lafayette in Andy Bellefuer's car in Merlot's parking lot. And from there the show had to keep rewriting the story, Lafayette had to remain he was too valuable. I honestly believe Nelson had so much more life to live & love to give. It breaks my heart.

My FAVORITE character & pretty much the ONLY reason I watched!

[giovannaj]

Literally just started watching true blood. I’m so sad to hear this man passed. Made me cry. May he RIP

[denisemitchell]

he was amazing truly a talent RIP..hooked me on that iconic show

[Chinachik]

OMG, what a great actor!! So sad. RIP

[calvin]

can't believe I'm just now knowing about true blood then I googled him and he just pasted away wasn't expecting for that to hit me the way it did

[wolvesrock]

You can tell he was very tired and sad about his congestive heart failure. I miss you buddy

[christyhoyle]

I loved him he was favorite character on true blood so sad his life ended so short😓😥

[aliduchesne]

He really only got one notable role after True Blood and it was short lived. To be type cast is rough enough but to be type cast and unemployed in entertainment is painful. As much as I loved him as Lafayette, I think its unfair how Nelsan was pushed to always be him as if he had no other skill. This man was so talented and well spoken. He DID go to Julliard and was genuinely intelligent. Its profoundly upsetting he was not in more roles and I bet it was because he was to good at heart.

Damn he was such an incredible actor. Deeply missed!
