for real.
Someone is trying to fuck up his career - he never said what been attributed to him in an interview and the automatic reaction from the gay community s to roast him. If you look at his resume - he has some big pics coming up why should he bypass that to do shitty True Blood. Man once the gays attack in Hollywood your career is fucked ask Isiah Washington - he was on the Idris trajectory and then one word - Faggot and he is now begging for jobs -
His PR team need to take this shit seriously -
As a straight male I would never want to be an actor now because the gays are going to have more and more homo storylines with kissing and sex scenes (Like Halt and Catch Fire ) - and if you say no - the gay mafia attacks

I was wondering who that new guy was. I'm like damn they just throwing new people into the show without introducing them. 
I don't blame them. I mean its too much homo shit going on. And shit its True Blood. I get their damn near catering to women but goodness. The Wire eventually turned that shit down with Omar but that shit was over the top too.
Some of these shows are clearly trying to cater to the gay demographic but its not necessary. Probably why that booty ass show about to end anyway.

Isiah Washington was known as a asshole though. Them gays just put the nail in the coffin for him. That dude got kicked off of Soul food for the same assholeish shit.Someone is trying to fuck up his career - he never said what been attributed to him in an interview and the automatic reaction from the gay community s to roast him.

And yeah the gay's coming for his head for no reason. There's not a more annoying voice in Hollywood than the gays. They ask to be treated equally but then do over the top shit and want special treatment.
This too....the problem is that they can t respect if someone doesn t agree with their lifestyle......
They should NOT be discriminated against....but foks should be allowed to not agree with homosexuality
they do what they accuse everyone else of doing.
they are completely intolerant while demanding everyone be tolerant of them.
if he doesn't want to kiss a man and have gay sex scenes how in the fuck is that a problem?
so not wanting to be gay or act gay without bashing gay is still a bad thing?
the only way to be "correct" is to be a heterosexual male and fully embrace gay shit to the point you'll act out and kiss other men?
fuck out of here.
kinda bullshit is that?
he's while
he'll get a pass//.
he'll get a pass//.
I don't know what exactly happened, but I know when you fill out a form for acting, they explicitly ask what you will and will not do, "explicitly". Everything from kissing (opposite and/or same sex), to performing any kind of nudity, (down to your shirt or shoes). So he must've checked yes to all them shits just to get work. Then once he got the role, he flipped the script. Because once they hire you, and ask you to do something you've expressed that you wouldn't, you can call a union rep and sue. This even goes for simple extra work. So I know a main or supporting role would have to be even more extensive in details. It's no way this clown didn't check off that he was down for whatever. Gay shit aside, with all the nudity on this show, I know they had to get all that shit clear before hand.
Along with this topic, what I don't get though, is if you wanna have gay roles, why not use gay actors and actresses? The same should go for straight roles. I'm not judging or bad mouthing anyone, to each his own. I got gay relatives, and love em all. But why try to force something unnatural, if only to the individual, upon someone who obviously doesn't want any parts of that lifestyle? I feel the same way about handicapped/disabled roles. The only people who I see step in and protest that kinda thing is the hearing impaired community. They won't allow hearing actors to portray non-hearing roles without backlash. You have to at least have, or have had some form of hearing impairment.
It definitely makes you realize there is a gay agenda. Just like violence, they want us as desensitized to it as possible. It seems that's why they make people play those type of roles. Then, you can't really argue the point, because they will say, regular actors play handicapped actors all the time. But, to me it's kinda like the equivalent of black face. I mean, let them play their own roles. Even though Gary Sinise did a hell of a job as Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump, I know there had to be ample amputee actors around that could've pulled it off. But instead of giving them some work, and paying em a couple hundred thousand, they spend millions on special effects to erase the dude legs. And as much as I love Tom Hanks movies, Philadelphia fucked me up with him and Antonio Banderas (<- he suspect though) kissing. Then especially that scene where he was playing the opera music and Denzel was like entranced by him, WTF was that all about? Well, hell, we all knew Hollywood was twisted.

Yeah the thing they will try to do is compare it to not wanting to do a interracial scene......
Bolded: And the homosexual community is trying now to define what is acceptable for heterosexual people to like and do.......
truth spoken...
Nah man, they don't know beforehand what their character is going to end up doing HOWEVER his character was a vampire that starts off and is right now fucking the red head vampire woman jessica
and then they changed his story line to go from fucking her to some strange unexplained reason being into lafayette
which makes no fucking sense BUT was written in for this specific purpose.
so to recap
he was and is up to this point currently with the red head vamp chick and is going to pivot into a homosexual who is into the black dude.
and he said no..
i watched sunday when his character started telling this story about some kind of homosexual shit and he got beat up basically alluding to gay bashing and i cut the shit off cause it didn't make no sense.
well after saying the show last night...I completely understand.
True Blood's' Nathan Parsons on Sex Scene: A 'Difficult Line to Walk' (Q&A)
The tension between Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) and James (Nathan Parsons) reached another level in Sunday’s True Blood.
The pair’s connection was hinted at in previous episodes, with James admitting to “groovin’ on” Lafayette in last Sunday’s hour. When Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) gives James the cold shoulder yet again at Bon Temps' "celebration of life," he goes to a sympathetic Lafayette and the pair end up having sex. Jessica walks in on them and breaks up with James.
Parsons tells The Hollywood Reporter it’s the last viewers will see of the James-Jessica romance. “The line is drawn after this episode. Now we’ll start to see more of Lafayette and l together, and Jessica has another thing she’s going to start dealing with,” he says.
The actor points out that this intimate a male homosexual relationship has been rare on True Blood and that Lafayette’s scenes with Jesús (Kevin Alejandro) in previous seasons were less physical. He tells THR it was a new acting challenge for him, but that working with Ellis this season made it more natural. “It helped immensely to know him and to trust him and trust each other that we’re going to do this right,” he says.
He talks with THR about the sex scene, filming with Ellis and his Jim Morrison influences.
What attracts James and Lafayette to each other?
I think they’re kind of of similar minds. James is a flower child himself. He’s a hippie, he’s free love. The trick with James is, though he’s a pacifist, he’s still a vampire, which is not a peaceful thing to be. This inner conflict that he always has is externalized with Jessica, when she’s getting upset with him.
He’s just trying to be the right person for Jess, and she keeps blowing him off. Lafayette’s the only one who has the interest and takes the time to say,
"What’s wrong, what’s going on with you?" There’s a mutual connection where they both just want to have fun and be easy, love each other, take care of each other.
James became a vampire because of intolerance to homosexuality in the 1970s. Will he face it again in present-day Bon Temps?
Because the town is already going through so much because of this vampire apocalypse, basically, no matter what your preference is, if you look out for and care about each other, they’re going to overlook it. There’s a lot more that could have been discovered and gone over with that -- there’s just way too much that needs to happen. There is still some other trouble that arises, but that’s not till later episodes. It’s nothing related specifically to sexuality and to gender. It has much more to do with the overarching problems that vampires cause.
You’ve filmed almost exclusively with Nelsan this season. What is it like working with him?
He’s fantastic. The very first episode, the scene between the two of us was my first day ever on the set, and so right off the bat I knew working with him was awesome. He’s brilliant, just the way that he plays around with the scenes, with the words -- he’s so free when he’s in that character. What he just naturally brings to the character is so free, it allows you permission to do that yourself. It forces you as an actor to be completely present and responsive. You’re not sure if he’s going to start dancing, or what.
This episode is a turning point in Lafayette and James’ relationship. What was most difficult about shooting those scenes?
We just had to be really careful about how we went about it. We didn’t want it to be uncomfortable to watch or over the top. It has to be something that is seemingly organic and loving, instead of just having sex for the sake of having sex. I think that was the difficult line to walk. It comes out of nowhere and we have to do it tastefully, and we all have to be comfortable with what’s happening. But Howard [Deutch], the director, was great about it. Nelsan and I just went along for the ride, and I think it turned out really well.
And this story is important and should be told and needs to be shared. It’s a story that’s being told all over the place, and TV doesn’t pay enough attention to it. The "Do I love this guy or love this girl?" and "Is this right or is this wrong?" becomes more important than the act itself, and that I think was really well done by the writer [Craig Chester] and Howard and Nelsan and myself.
How did you approach shooting their sex scene?
It was a full-night shoot, and we had a bunch of group stuff to do earlier that day. There were 20 actors there and we shot all their stuff, and then for the last four or five hours it was just me and Nelsan. I think once we got over the craziness of organizing the extras, and doing the group shots and the Steadicam work, we were able to focus in on the intimate moments without the distractions. Once you break the ice physically, then it all becomes easier, and you realize it is just two people. There’s another 200 people in the crew, of course. But in that moment, it’s really just about two people and a shared connection. That right there made the whole thing work out -- that we’ll get to the physical stuff, that’s a given, but before that and after that, there are little moments of true connection that happen, and they just escalate and escalate.
You replaced Luke Grimes in the role. What did you bring to playing James?
He’s a Jim Morrison type, so I started reading Jim Morrison’s biography. There were all these little details. He was always really soft-spoken, never raised his voice. Luke did something similar, but they also talked about the way that Jim Morrison would stand sometimes, the way he’d sometimes suck in his cheeks, all his interesting quirks. I thought, "Huh, maybe I can work these in here.
Maybe I can play with the idea that Jim Morrison is alive, he just got turned into a vampire."

‘True Blood's’ Nelsan Ellis Slams Luke Grimes For Quitting Over Bisexual Storyline
Nelsan Ellis has long portrayed one of the most popular characters on HBO's “True Blood.” As Lafayette, he's tough and totally unique. The character also happens to be gay. That last detail was purportedly too much for one of his co-stars, who quit over this season's gay storylines.
Luke Grimes took on the role of James on the show, spending much of last season wooing fellow vampire Deborah Ann Woll‘s Jessica. This season, though, James suddenly had a new face as Nathan Parsons took over the role.
At the time, Grimes issued a statement saying that he left over his feature film schedule, and that it had nothing to do with storylines, but HBO alleged that his decision was due to “the creative direction of the character.” That direction became clear as the seventh and final season of “True Blood” started airing, and James was revealed to be bisexual, starting a relationship with Ellis’ Lafayette.
He said that a show like “True Blood” almost demands that its actors come in prepared to expect the unexpected. Created by Alan Ball, who is openly gay, the drama is known for its sexual content and LGBT characters and relationships.

“I just think that, you're an actor,” Ellis told Vulture in an interview after his character's first sex scene with the new James. “We're all sitting there going, ‘You quit your job because … really?’ I'm just… I'm over him. You quit your job because you don't want to play a gay part? As if it's … You know what? I'm going to stop talking.”
But he didn't. “You make a statement when you do something like that,” Ellis continued. You make a … big statement, when you go, ‘I don't want to play this part because it's gay.’ If you have a child, if you have a son, and he comes out as gay, what are you going to do? If you have a daughter who comes out gay…? You just made a statement, and it has ripple effects.”
He said that a show like “True Blood” almost demands that its actors come in prepared to expect the unexpected. Created by Alan Ball, who is openly gay, the drama is known for its sexual content and LGBT characters and relationships.
“I'm supposed to do what my boss tells me to do, as an actor,” Ellis said. “I can't approach a character with judgment. I certainly can't tell my boss, ‘I can act what I want to act, but not what you tell me to act,’ especially on a show where you come in, knowing what it is.”

Lah FAAY ette! rofl
Get'em
Although i doubt it even went down like that. Gay people who're saying that dumb shit need to calm da fuck down.
Show's got 20 straight characters and 3 gay ones and people complaining about it's a gay show though? fuckin weird.
All 3 of the gay characters are SUB characters at that. cmon
Stop that dumb shit.
Ol sweet tea Sambo ass nigga. "I'sa do what m'boss tells me".
You literally can't say shit about gay people or they will label you homophobic.
And they complain about black people always crying racism.
Someone is trying to fuck up his career - he never said what been attributed to him in an interview and the automatic reaction from the gay community s to roast him. If you look at his resume - he has some big pics coming up why should he bypass that to do shitty True Blood. Man once the gays attack in Hollywood your career is fucked ask Isiah Washington - he was on the Idris trajectory and then one word - Faggot and he is now begging for jobs -
His PR team need to take this shit seriously -
As a straight male I would never want to be an actor now because the gays are going to have more and more homo storylines with kissing and sex scenes (Like Halt and Catch Fire ) - and if you say no - the gay mafia attacks
The 100 is a hit and Isiah did his thing. I don't know if he'll be on for the second season or not but the brotha was outstanding.
Isaiah Washington is an idiot though. His situation was just rumor until he grabbed the mic from someone else during a press conference wand was like "I did not call him a faggot." But being on True Blood, you should expect some gay shit. Especially if you're an unknown.
Their are gay women in hollywood who get away with not doing any hetero scenes, gay men who get away with not doing any hetero scenes but the minute a hetero man has a problem with it he gets ridiculed and possibly black listed for not doing it. He is an unknown so they're going to put him through the ringer had he been an established actor the most they could do is get him drag.
Homosexuals don't believe that we deserve the same respect.
