Portrayed By

Nelson is portrayed by Noah Crawford.

About

He is the tech-savvy, sci-fiction-loving keyboard player and DJ for Gravity 5. Nelson is confident when talking about the ladies, but completely tongue-tied when he is face to face with them, which makes him extremely socially awkward. It is revealed in "How to Rock a Messy Bet" that he and Kevin are so addicted to the game "Furious Pigeons," which is a parody of the game Angry Birds, that they catapulted classmate Andy Bartlet half-way across the school. It is shown that he has a big crush on Grace King. He is always nervous when it comes to talking to her.

Relationships

Kevin Reed

Kevin is Nelson's best friend. They both love being crazy and joke around a lot when their together. The rest of the school views them as losers, but they don't care. They love playing Furious Pigeons and are both very messy. In one episode they were seen riding around in a trash can around the school. (See: Kelson)

Grace King

Status: Close Friend, Crush

They are close friends who are shown to have a crush on each other. Grace is shown to be mean to Stevie, Kacey, Zander, and Kevin, but is not mean to Nelson.
