Elli's Demo Reel -- A truly unique performer, Elli has the combined talents of Zero Mostel, Nathan Lane and Danny Kaye, with the comedic timing of Robin Williams, and the voice of Pavarotti, rolled into one entertainer. Elli began his Theatrical career in Los Angeles under the direction of the famous "That Little Old Wine Maker ME!", James Rawley, and J.R.'s best friend Lee Strassburg. Some of the many and varied roles he appeared in were, "Jud" in "Oklahoma", "The Tin Man" in the "Wizard of Oz", "Arab" in "West Side Story", "Charlie Davenport" in "Annie Get Your Gun", "Kralahome" in "The King and I", "Nicely Nicely" in "Guys & Dolls" and of course the part he was born to play,, "Tevye" in "Fiddler on the Roof". Elli has also done many 'straight' roles in such favorites as "Arsenic and Old Lace", "Julius Caesar", and "Up the Down Staircase", and of course, "Our Town" just to name a few. Elli's unique look, moldable image, plus the myriad of languages and accents he has, lends itself to the diverse roles that he can play. For a while Elli changed directions and lived his childhood dream of becoming a Hassidic Orthodox Rabbi and a Cantor, leading religious services and teaching in Temples throughout the U.S and Canada. He is now reviving his dream of taking his place on "The Great White Way", by lending his rich, Multi-Accented and-Multi Charactered voice to several Children's Audio Tapes and Radio & TV commercials, both in the U.S. and England. In November 2002, Elli appeared as an extra (a Hassidic Jew) in the film, "2 Fast 2 Furious" filmed on location in Miami, Florida. In April 2003, he worked as an extra in the Indy film, "Once Upon A Wedding" (now available on DVD) as a Barfly. In January, 2003 he performed the role of the "Papa" in "The Jazz Singer" which played South and Central Florida. This Must Be the Place -- Cheyenne, a retired rock star living off his royalties in Dublin, returns to New York City to find the man responsible for a humiliation suffered by his recently deceased father during WWII. W.E. -- A two-tiered romantic drama focusing on the affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcée Wallis Simpson and a contemporary romance between a married woman and a Russian security guard.
