Must have Beginner - Intermediate Tennis Skills (or higher)
Elliot (20) is the prince of one of England’s most exclusive tennis clubs. He comes from generational wealth and plays an immaculate game of tennis. He is the reigning club champion and expected to turn pro straight out of school. Elliott is talented, good looking, privileged, arrogant, and accustomed to winning alone. He feels superior to pretty much everyone. His main weakness is being able to be in a partnership. He has never been in love and considers it a word that doesn't mean anything.
We are looking for an actor who is is able to play haughty and superior to then transforming into a softer version of himself as a man who finds love.
