Probably played the best character in True Blood, dead from a heart attack at 39.

Nae age to go.

His character was quality; honest, challenging, tragic. Really made me think about a lot.

Can't say I'd heard of him or the series, but after watching that clip I'll make a point of finding it and watching it soon.

The series in general is fantastic. Don't bother with the books (which I don't often say).

For further Nelsan excellence, check out "Get on Up". And to go off on a vague tangent from there, watch "Beat the Devil", which is the only time you're likely to see James Brown, Clive Owen, Gary Oldman and Marilyn Manson in a film together (albeit in a glorified BMW advert).
