“Girls” star Lena Dunham posted a heartfelt tribute to Nick Lashaway,
who appeared on her HBO hit show, after the actor was killed in a car
accident.
Lashaway, 28, died in a three-car crash in Framingham, Mass., Monday, Metro West Daily News reported.
He appeared as a character named Frank on an episode titled "Video Games" during the second season of "Girls."
"Just heard the incredibly sad news that Nick Lashaway was killed in a
car accident on May 8th," Dunham captioned a photo of her and Lashaway
from the show, which she posted on Wednesday evening.
"Nick was such a talented, funny and kind person and we were so lucky
to have him as part of the Girls family when he played Frank in episode
207," she added.
Dunham recalled Lashaway's funny spirit during the week they worked together.
"We will always remember the week we shared with him, his playful smile
and his easy instincts and how much he made us laugh when we had to
stay up all night in the woods,” she continued, adding well wishes to
his family.
The Massachusetts resident had been acting for over a decade, playing
bit parts in television shows like “8 Simple Rules,” “The X-Files” and
“Life As We Know It.”
He was also seen “The 40-Year-Old Virgin," and acted opposite pop star
Miley Cyrus in her 2010 movie, “The Last Song,” in which he played the
leader of a gang.
Two other people were injured in the collision on Monday evening. The
cause of the crash is still being investigated, officials told the
newspaper.
