My Take
Nick Lashaway's name always gives me a small pang. A Washington, D.C. actor who appeared in The X-Files, Girls, and stood beside Miley Cyrus in The Last Song as a fire-juggling beach hustler, he died in 2016 at just twenty-eight. There's a cruel irony in a young man who played with fire on screen burning out so soon offscreen. What stays with me is how he remains forever young in the footage he left behind. I find few things more affecting than talent cut off before it fully bloomed, and that is exactly why I want to revisit his work now and then.
