Elliott Young

Greetings, and thanks for taking a look at my site! I sincerely hope your visit will inspire, intrigue, and hopefully produce interest in working with me as an actor.

Born and raised in southwestern Ohio, I'm an actor who continuously strives to engage in my passion. With a personal love for human exploration through art, I began to pursue opportunities in the theatre while attending Wright State University, where I eventually received my BFA in Communication Studies with a minor in African-American Studies. This period also marked my debuts on both screen and stage after appearing in the short film At Your Convenience, and the production Home by playwright CJ Johnson. Since then, I've had the great fortune to appear in various stage productions, which include Family Healing (William), Love’s Not Enough (Brandon), Kill Move Paradise (Daz), and most recently, Blues for an Alabama Sky (Leland), among others. I'm thankful to say that I've had opportunities to learn and participate in the filmmaking/commercial process by taking part in projects like 5 Hours to Georgia (Loving Life Productions) and television spots for midwestern broadcasts. I take pride in embracing perpetual growth by way of education and experience, so with that in mind, I hope we can work together one day! Thanks for visiting my site, and thanks to all friends and family for your support.
