The actor told EW in 2012 that his favorite moments were on set with her.
She brightens my day coming to work.
Rutina has her headphones.
She likes to dance.
Rutina will be in her own little world by her trailer.
So shell just be outside by her trailer like getting down.
To pay tribute to her good friend, Wesley shared this poem with EW about Ellis.
These are her words, unedited.
He was a lover, he loved everything which is why people didnt understand him.
Thats the beauty of it.
He thought everything was beautiful.
