2024…Am I Right?
Aside from changing up her hair (which as of this writing is back to blonde #theyhavemorefun) Elle was very excited to be able to get back on stage this year starring in a few plays and readings! Elle also had a small part in a short film that will be making the festival rounds in 2025. One day perhaps she will post updates more than once a year but for now it is what it is.
Reel Time: 2023 Edition
Elle is absolutely THRILLED to finally have an updated reel! Shout out to the team at The Brownstone Class for some great footage to round this out!!!!!!
How is it Already 2023?!
Elle’s hair has FINALLY grown out and we all know what that means…NEW HEADSHOTS! Elle was stoked to again work with the absolute dream team of Emily Lambert and Brad Latskey (for a third time in the past 7 years!) She is absolutely thrilled with her new pics and is so excited to start using them! As well as new headshots, Elle has a new commercial rep! She’s started working with David McDermott at JGD Talent! Bring it on 2023!
Elle on TV!
Elle is super stoked to be making her network television debut tonight in FBI: Most Wanted. She had a great time on set (clearly!) Thank you to everyone who makes this show a safe and fun place to work as well as her AMAZING manager, Christianna, and the wonderful casting directors Liz Fraser and Jonathan Strauss! Hopefully this is just the beginning!
2021 Goal Achieved
Elle started 2021 off with a few goals: Be able to do 10 unassisted pull-ups, do 30 pushups, and get legit representation. While the fitness goals didn’t quite happen this year she is happy to say she is now represented by the stellar Christianna Anderson from Bullett Management! She is so excited to be working with such and awesome team at Bullett!!!!! In other news, Elle’s hair has been growing back nicely and she is thrilled to be able to show it off in her new headshots by the amazing Sub/Urban Photography!
Perhaps 2020 Has a Few Bright Spots
I know what you’re thinking, ‘Two blog posts in two months?! What is happening???’ Well, Elle wanted to share two major accomplishments with you all! Elle Nelson is now a proud member of SAG-AFTRA! She is thrilled to be part of the union (This means she can bake herself a celebratory cake on Labor Day, right?) Being a member of SAG has been a lifelong dream (a TOTALLY normal dream for every seven year old) and she is super stoked to start this next phase of her career leveled up! She also has a achieved another life goal of completing a marathon! She beat her goal time by 2:30m! She’s currently thinking about what crazy fitness goal she can work towards next and appreciates any suggestions!
Apparently It's September
Remember when all this started and everyone thought it would be over by the summer? Well the calendar says it’s now September! Elle has been plugging away, determined to make 2020 her year! Since the spring she has taken an acting class with Patrick McCartney through the PIT, Character 101 with Haley Hepworth through UCB, Sitcom 101 with Audrey Flegel through Second City, Sketch with Stephanie Bencin and workshops with Ingrid French of Ingrid French Management and casting directors Aaron Schoonover, Allison Krischner, and Karyn Casl. All online via Zoom! Along with keeping her acting and writing skills sharp, Elle has continued teaching her fitness classes online and is at the taper point of her marathon training! October 3rd can not come soon enough! (Although she will be very sad to not have an excuse to eat all the pasta and bagels she wants.)
2020 Update
Elle started 2020 by completing her goal of 30 in 30 with a trip to Helsinki, St. Petersburg, and Liverpool, Russia being her 30th country! She had a great time visiting friends, meeting a new baby, and getting to see more of the world! A week before NYC went into lockdown Elle was thrilled to perform in her first sketch show at UCB Hells Kitchen! Now that the world has stopped she is taking this time at home to work on some new monologues and get back to writing. She is also keeping active teaching fitness classes virtually and training for a half marathon. She has been thrilled with how the arts community has come together to keep creating and collaborating and is very excited to see what amazing work comes out of all this!
New Hair, Who This?
Elle has had a busy year full of new adventures and new hair! In November she started working with Jillian Hassest of Prestige Management Group and has been thrilled to be breaking into the commercial industry! Elle finished the UCB core curriculum for improv and has moved onto the sketch writing course! She also achieved a major personal goal by summiting the world’s tallest freestanding mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, in July. Finally, after 30 years she has changed up her look and is rocking a fun new bob! She’s about to get new pics from the AMAZING Emily Lambert and WONDERFUL Akeem Berry. Watch this space!
