Foggy Nelson is a Marvel Comics character that appears in Daredevil, played by Elden Henson. He is Matt Murdock's partner in their law firm. Unlike Matt, Foggy is kind, gentle, friendly, jovial, and good-natured. Foggy acts as a moral compass and voice of reason to Matt, keeping Matt from going off the deep end with his friendly advice, his compassionate nature and his nurturing friendship. Foggy doesn't approve of Matt being Daredevil, but he respects Matt's decision and helps him as much as he can.
Foggy Nelson was created by Stan Lee and Bill Everett.
Originally, Charlie Cox was approached to audition for the role of Foggy Nelson; however, Cox said he would only travel to Los Angeles to do the audition if he got to read for the part of Matt Murdock instead. This was agreed to and Charlie would later be cast as Matt in the series.
