One of the first places we shot on the pilot of True Blood was Sam Merlotteās Bar.Ā The kitchen Suzuki Ingerslev built in Merlotteās had a walk in freezer & working gas burners. It remained my favourite set throughout all 7 seasons - when shooting in Louisiana many months later she took us to the actual bar she had used as inspiration. It was almost as amazing as our Merlotteās, but not quite - They didnāt have a Lafayette.Ā In the scene that was being shot that day, Lafayette, a male cross-dressing short order cook in the show, was expounding on his theory of menās fear of the female anatomy.. specifically, the vagina. āI know every man whether straight, gay or George MotherFuckinā Bush is afraid of the pussy..ā Iām not sure I have ever seen, before or since, people crowd around a monitor at video village with their hands clapped to their mouths from shock, sheer laughter and wonder as the actor playing Lafayette jiggled and shook and humped the butchers block to get his point across. it was completely original, funny, sardonic, risquĆ© and brilliant. That was Nelsan Ellis. All of the above.Ā I turned to Alan Ball when the scene was finished and whisperedā¦ āyou canāt kill him!ā (Lafayetteās death at the of the first book is the cliffhanger that leads to Book 2ā¦) Nelsan Ellis was the only actor in the 7 years of True Blood whom Alan allowed to improvise. Actually, Iām going to take that back. It wasnāt that Alan allowed him to do it, it was more that when Nelsan inhabited the world of Lafayette, he quite literally COULDNāT STOP himself. It was like he was possessed.Ā In actuality Nelsan was quiet, smart, thoughtful, warm and kind. A published playwright himself.Ā I think it would be fair to say that he taught all of us that intent and courage and fearlessness and freedom are the aspects of playing make-believe that spark the corners of the room where the dark is most impenetrable; to shine a light on those corners within ourselves is the very reason we go back time and again to Movies, TV shows and Theatre. To see that spark ignited.Ā Nelsan had that electricity in an abundance I have rarely seen. I canāt believe heās gone. - Stephen Moyer [x]
