Why Ennis From Yellowstone Prequel 1883 Looks So Familiar

While Eric Nelsen has been a big screen regular over the years, he's racked up some impressive small screen credits as well. He's landed one-off supporting roles on shows such as Nickelodeon's original run of "iCarly," the legal drama "The Good Wife," Tom Selleck's long-running crime series "Blue Bloods," HBO's beloved dramedy series "Girls," and NBC's mystery thriller "The Blacklist." Of late, Nelsen made a one-episode appearance on The CW's rebooted "Walker" series, and stole scenes on the Showtime drama "The Affair" playing the down-on-his-luck drifter Bram in a three-episode arc opposite Joshua Jackson.

Like so many actors before him, Nelsen did indeed get his start in the soap opera realm. Unlike some of his fellow soap opera breakouts, Nelsen has never shied away from returning to the soap world, scoring a 43-episode stint on "All My Children" in 2013, before embarking on a 65-episode run as the affable Daniel Garrett on the Blip.TV hit "The Bay." As it happens, that soapy-and-then-some series actually earned Nelsen a Best Supporting Actor Daytime Emmy Award in 2018. And if you'd like to see the work that earned Nelsen an Emmy, "The Bay" is currently ready to binge on Amazon Prime Video.
