FAQs
Nelsan Ellis, the actor who brought to life the flamboyant character of Lafayette Reynolds on HBO's True Blood, has died at the age of 39. Ellis' manager, Emily Gerson Saines, confirmed the death, telling The Hollywood Reporter that he died after complications with heart failure.
At the beginning of the season, Tara's cousin Lafayette Reynolds (Nelsan Ellis) is imprisoned at Fangtasia with Royce Williams (Caleb Moody). After Royce is killed by Eric, Lafayette attempts to escape and is shot. He is later healed by Eric and ordered by Pam (Kristin Bauer) to resume selling vampire blood.
During late Season 3, Lafayette began to experience visions and images of people and things, which was believed by Jesus to have been his latent magical potential awakened by the vampire blood he and Lafayette consumed.
