Elijah Thomas Temple is an American actor born in Austin, TX. His parents noticed his flair for entertaining at the age of 5 when he performed in a mini-play with his kindergarten class. Shortly thereafter he participated in local theatre camps. The talent was there, but the passion came at the age of 12 after he had a significant role in a children's play at a local theatre. Since then he has performed in several youth/teen theatre productions including: Peter Pan, Jr., Legally Blond, Jr, Hairspray, Jr., and Reality Stars - Greek Gods Edition. A favorite role was Eddie Pazinski in the main-stage dramatic production of "Over the Tavern." He held lead roles in several school productions - most notably Mr. Green in CLUE.
