The star’s career as an actor spanned over five decades. It was his deep voice, charisma and signature mustache that made Elliott a standout figure. He started his career with minor roles in classic Westerns before his breakthrough role in the 1976 film Lifeguard. There, he portrays Rick Carlson, a 32-year-old lifeguard in Southern California who enjoys a commitment-free life of casual relationships. Occasionally, he trains a college student and weekend assistant.
Born in Sacramento, California, he was raised in Oregan. He briefly attended college and soon his passion for acting started. He was cast in Guys and Dolls. Upon his arrival in Los Angeles, he studied acting and served in the California Air National Guard at the same time. Soon, his name became recognizable after his commercials for the American Beef Council. Throughout his career, the star portrayed a wide range of characters. Interestingly enough, directors told him to be a little less south in the mouth.
Elliott has also chosen such roles that would evoke positive emotions avoiding cruel or negative characters. His love story with Katherine Ross is nothing short of incredible. Chemistry sparked between these two on the set of The Legacy leading to a lasting marriage based on mutual understanding, respect and compromise. For those who don’t know, Ross was well-known for playing in «Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid» as well as a number of Western shows.
Since then, they have been among the most beautiful, enduring and harmonious couples of show business. They have always stayed hand in hand never ceasing to show unwavering support to each other. Together they have successfully been navigating through tough periods of their lives.
