When asked who some of the biggest influences in his life were, Elliott had a hard time answering. He said, “That’s very difficult to answer. But to be honest with you I think my parents made the biggest difference in my life…He [his father] was a man’s man, and that rubbed off on me. My mom has always been completely supportive of my work.”

One would think that after so many reprisals, Elliott would grow tired of playing cowboys. But in an interview with DP/30, he said the opposite was true. “I just think that genre has always spoken to me. My family heritage comes from Texas for generations. I think there’s a real truth to westerns and a real simplicity to them that appeals to people. It’s pretty black and white.”
