Elisha Henig

Elisha grew up in Portland, OR. His love for acting was sparked at age 8 during a Shakespeare acting class where he made his debut performance as the limping, villainous Richard III. His initial professional roles were at local Portland theaters, including a co-lead role in the original play 'The Snowstorm' for which he won the prestigious Portland Best Young Performer Drammy Award at the tender age of 10. Drunk with success, Elisha decided to try his luck in Hollywood and proceeded to squat at his uncle's condo in (relatively) nearby Calabasas. He started appearing in TV guest roles, including memorable appearances in Grey's Anatomy and Mr. Robot, and was later cast as a series regular on the ABC comedy Alex, Inc. playing Zach Braff's son. In 2018 he played the protagonist role of season 2 of The Sinner (USA) opposite Bill Pullman and Carrie Coon. More recently you can watch Elisha as the lead on Ramy's stirring 9/11 episode (playing Young Ramy) on Hulu and as the young Twitch celebrity Pootie Shoe in Rob McElhenney's gaming comedy Mythic Quest on AppleTV+. Next Elisha will appear in the upcoming comedy feature The Drop, co-written and directed by Sarah Adina Smith and produced by the Duplass brothers. Apart from acting Elisha enjoys reading, writing fiction, playing and writing music, golfing and knitting, and generally pondering the universe.
