Elijah T. Temple

Elijah Thomas Temple is an American actor born in Austin, TX. His parents noticed his flair for entertaining at the age of 5 when he performed in a mini-play with his kindergarten class. Shortly thereafter he participated in local theatre camps. The talent was there, but the passion came at the age of 12 after he had a significant role in a children's play at a local theatre. Since then he has performed in several youth/teen theatre productions including: Peter Pan, Jr., Legally Blond, Jr, Hairspray, Jr., and Reality Stars - Greek Gods Edition. A favorite role was Eddie Pazinski in the main-stage dramatic production of "Over the Tavern." He held lead roles in several school productions - most notably Mr. Green in CLUE. In 2018, he was thrilled to be cast on OWN's critically acclaimed drama "David Makes Man" which received the Peabody Award as one of the most compelling stories in 2019. Elijah is interested in all aspects of television and film.
