Ed Nelson was an insurance claim adjuster in his thirties, as well as a LARPer known as Thargrim the Difficult in the roleplaying game Moondoor. He lived alone, in an apartment filled with fantasy memorabilia. As he entered his apartment one night, he was having a heated discussion with his friend Lance Jacobsen who suspected him of cheating. As he lay in bed, he awoke to an itching sensation in his arm, which formed into the black tree shape of a Celtic tattoo. Horses could then be heard, and he was invisibly drawn and quartered, resulting in his death.

- Ed Nelson (b. December 21, 1928) began his career in B-movies in the 1950s, and appeared in many western television series throughout the 1960s. However, Nelson gained fame for his role as "Michael Rossi" on the television series Peyton Place (1964 - 1969, in which his love interest in the final year was Barbara Rush). He also guest starred in Owen Marshall: Counselor at Law (1971, 1972), Charlie's Angels (1980), and The Fall Guy (1983). Nelson has the distinction of portraying President Harry S. Truman in the national tour of the play, Give 'Em Hell Harry, in television movie Enola Gay: The Men, the Mission, the Atomic Bomb (1980), and in the film Brenda Starr (1989). He is the father of Chris Nelson.
- Muscular leading man Ed Nelson (b. 21 December 1928 in New Orleans; d. 9 August 2014 in North Carolina) started out as a member of quickie-filmmaker Roger Corman's stock company, appearing in such drive-in fodder as Hot Rod Girl (1956), Invasion of the Saucer Men (1957) and Cry Baby Killer. In these and other low-budgeters of the late 1950s, Nelson not only starred, but doubled on the technical crew: he was one of several production assistants portraying the title crustacean in The Attack of the Crab Monsters (1956), and designed and operated the parasite props in 1958's The Brain Eaters, which he also produced.

Eventually outgrowing such things, Nelson rose to TV stardom as Dr. Michael Rossi on the prime time soap opera "Peyton Place", which ran from 1964 through 1969. He later starred as Ward Fuller on "The Silent Force" (1970) and as Dr. Michael Wise in "Doctors' Private Lives" (1979). In 1969, Nelson hosted a daily syndicated talk show "The Ed Nelson Show", which he was ultimately forced to give up when he decided to enter politics ("conflict of interests" and "equal time" were still considerations back then). Ed Nelson has continued accepting supporting film and TV roles to the present time; he recently harked back to his short career in public service when he played President Truman in the 1992 Brooke Shields flick Brenda Starr. [1] Like actor John Allen Nelson, this actor's name was noted for being similar to that of Mike's last name.
