Chase Elwood

Chase Elwood’s got this wild energy that kinda sneaks up on you—like, you’ll see the name in the credits and suddenly realize, “Oh, I know that face.” If you’ve stumbled into the indie sphere anytime since the mid-2010s, there’s a pretty good shot you’ve caught his work, especially in stuff like Aesop, Actors Untitled (2014), and the blood-soaked drama Till Blood Do Us Part (2014). Dude’s got a knack for slipping into roles that linger, you know? Not in a “look at me” way—more like, he brings this simmering intensity, a little offbeat, and it sticks with you after the credits roll. Aesop is a trip, mixing old-school parable vibes with a modern kick, and Elwood’s performance is a solid anchor for all the weirdness. In Actors Untitled, he’s all raw nerves and scrappy ambition, bouncing off the walls of indie film clichés and making them feel fresh again. Then there’s Till Blood Do Us Part, which is kind of a messy love letter to horror and betrayal, and Elwood fits right in, flipping between charming and menacing with zero warning. The guy has range, but not in that boring, show-off kind of way; it’s more like he’s just living in the skin of whoever he’s playing. Not a household name—yet—but definitely one of those actors who make you nudge your friend and say, “Hey, that guy’s good.”
