Life and career


Nelson was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and grew up as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[2] He studied acting at the University of Utah and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. After graduation, he was cast in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Two Gentlemen of Verona.

A casting director saw him in that show and cast him in the film The Paper Chase[1] as a mean-spirited law student. This led to a long career in film and television, including three Robert Altman films, A Wedding,[1] 3 Women,[1] and Quintet[1] as well as a role in the coming-of-age comedy My Bodyguard.[1] He also had a recurring role as drama teacher Mr. Spacek on the 1980s television show Square Pegs.
