Why Nelson Burkhard Didn't Return For Fuller House

Why Was Nelson Recast For 'Fuller House'? Jason Marsden Decided To Sit

Who Can Forget Nelson Burkhard?

Alright, listen up. If you're a die-hard fan of Full House, you definitely remember Nelson Burkhard. Played by the talented Jason Marsden, Nelson was D.J. Tanner's boyfriend for a brief moment in the show. He was that ultra-rich dude who was totally smitten with D.J., even though she didn't exactly feel the same way. But here's the twist: after D.J.'s best friend, Kimmy Gibbler, went on a date with Nelson, D.J. started having second thoughts. In the end, though, they both realized they were better off as friends. And just like that, Nelson was gone from the show after just a few episodes. Now, fans are left wondering why Nelson didn’t make it into the reboot, Fuller House.

Jason Marsden's Decision

Here's the scoop: Jason Marsden, the actor who brought Nelson to life and also played Jason on Boy Meets World, was actually asked to reprise his role on Fuller House. But here's the thing—he turned it down. Why? Well, he was already committed to something else: Dragon Con in Atlanta. When fans kept asking on Twitter why Jason wasn't part of the reboot, he took the time to explain it all in a series of three videos. The gist? He was asked to be a celebrity guest at Dragon Con, and it happened to fall in the same week he would have had to film for Fuller House.

  • Jason explained in one of his videos, "Getting an invitation to Dragon Con isn’t easy, and it’s something I’ve been trying to do for years." He added that the decision was also a matter of convenience. See, Jason lives in Tennessee, so driving to Atlanta for Dragon Con was way easier than flying all the way to L.A. for the show. Despite the decision, Jason made it clear that he still has nothing but love for Fuller House and its fans.

    A Successful Career Beyond Full House

    After Full House wrapped in 1995, Jason Marsden went on to build an impressive career, mostly as a voice actor. You might not know it, but he voiced Kovu in The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride, young Clark Kent in the Superman series, and Max Goof in A Goofy Movie and its sequel. And that's not all—he's also had live-action roles on shows like Ally McBeal and in films such as White Squall and Fun With Dick and Jane. By the way, Jason Marsden is not related to actor James Marsden, just in case you were wondering.

    If you check out Jason's very active Twitter page, you'll see he's happier than ever these days, busy with voice work for films, television, and video games. But let's be real—Full House fans are going to have a hard time seeing anyone else play Nelson Burkhard if they decide to bring the character back on Fuller House. It just wouldn’t feel the same without Jason.
