His Father’s Influence
Even without ever having received his father’s approval, Elliott claims that his acting persona was inspired by him, as if his legacy were guiding Elliott in everything he did. “I wanted him to be proud of me. That’s the worst part of it. When you don’t think your dad’s proud of you – I knew he was in other areas. You know, I could catch more trout than he or any of his friends. He was proud of that… I don’t think he got the theater arts.”
Working With Netflix
Elliott remains active in Hollywood. He recently made several guest appearances in the Netflix original series Grace and Frankie, playing Jane Fonda’s former lover. From there he moved to a starring role in the streaming service’s comedy The Ranch.
