His father, Henry Nelson Elliott, worked for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and thought acting was not the best career. His kid, on the other hand, has his sights set on becoming famous and prosperous in Hollywood.

Unfortunately, Henry did not live long enough to see his kid grow into one of the most adored gun-toting cowboys of all time. He died of a heart attack before Elliott reached the age of 18.
Elliott claims that, while it was a difficult period, his father’s death pushed him to become a better person and make positive changes in his life.
