Nelsan talks Lafayette
Nelsan Ellis talked with Digital Spy about his character Lafayette.
This is what he had to say:
Speaking to Digital Spy, Ellis explained that he is pleased Lafayette’s mother Ruby Jean (Alfre Woodard) has now appeared on the show.
“It establishes him as a person with roots in this town,” he said. “Outside of just being the person who takes care of his cousin Tara.
“He never really has scenes with his auntie, Tara’s mom, so to give him a mother sort of establishes that this dude… it gives him a history.”
Ellis also promised that the upcoming third season finale is shocking but refused to reveal too many details.
“There’ll be some big twists,” he said. “There’ll be some big unexpected twists. But I like my job so I can’t give them away!”
Lafayette is my favorite character!!
