The 23-year-old, who hails from London has blazed quite the trail after securing a full scholarship from LAMDA.
Despite graduating in the thick of the global health crisis, Elhaj hit the ground sprinting – earning prominent roles on the BBC’s ‘Silent Witness, STARZ show ‘Dangerous Liaisons,’ and Netflix’s ‘Half Bad.’
The gifted star’s performances magnetized the attention of the writer Ted Lasso and Bill Lawrence, who have welcomed Elhaj aboard Apple TV’s newest series, ‘Bad Monkey.’
Led by Vaughn, the show chronicles the story of Andrew Yancy.
Once a decorated detective, he finds himself demoted to a restaurant inspector. While wallowing in his woes, Yancy’s world changes when a severed arm discovered by a tourist draws him underground and places him at the center of a shocking narrative that links Florida and the Bahamas.
Elhaj stars as Neville, a Bahamian whose life is uprooted by the melee.
Filming commences next month, ahead of an anticipated TV debut later this year.
