Nelsan Ellis Interview

Vibe has an Interview with Nelsan Ellis.

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

What do you find most intriguing about the character?

That people like that character [laughs]. There’s something about the dude that’s likeable. Even I was watching myself and criticizing myself—I go, “I like that dude.” The most intriguing thing about him is his strength and his stillness. If you watch Lafayette he doesn’t do very much. He’s not quick on his toes unless he gets heated. He’s just in that southern way—sort of sauntering along, being who he is which is something I never intended. It just happened.
