Elliott admits that he had a collection of influences that made him become the actor he is now. One such actor was John Wayne, whom he actually got to meet. “I went and got John Wayne’s autograph. He was doing “The Shootist,” his last film. I went in and talked with him for a few minutes. He didn’t know me from Adam but he knew I was an aspiring actor.”
