Elliott Heffernan
Elliott Heffernan, yeah, the name might not ring a bell just yet, but give it a minute. This British actor’s about to get his big break. After slogging through a wild, country-wide casting search—seriously, one of those “anyone could land it” deals—he snagged the lead in Steve McQueen’s “BLITZ.” Not just any role either. He’s front and center, right there next to Saoirse Ronan. No pressure, right? "BLITZ" hits US and UK theaters November 1, 2024, and then pops up on Apple TV+ later in the month, on the 22nd.
So, what’s the buzz? People are already hyped for the chemistry between Elliott and Saoirse, especially with Steve McQueen at the wheel. This isn’t just another war movie—it’s got that gritty, human edge McQueen always brings, and Elliott’s playing George, a character who’s supposed to anchor the whole story. Not too shabby for a first big-screen gig.
And he’s not stopping there, either. Elliott’s already onto the next thing, working on some mysterious new feature film somewhere in Europe. Details are under wraps, but, honestly, with a debut like this, he’s probably got a few more doors opening up. Keep an eye out—you’ll be seeing a lot more of him soon.
