Elijah was born on August 1, 1986 in LaGrange, Georgia and had his breakout role in the 2007 movie, 'Hairspray' as Seaweed.

He guest starred in 'Numb3rs,' 'Everybody Hates Chris,' and 'The Shield,' and appeared in such movies as '28 Days' and 'Take the Lead.'

In the movie, he starred alongside John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Queen Latifah, Amanda Bynes, Zac Efron, and Brittany Snow.
