Similar to his latest role in Superman & Lois, Jordan Elsass played a "golden boy'" jock-type character as Trip Richardson, which might point to why he was cast as Jon Kent, and why he looks even more familiar than usual. Eslass also stars in Panic, Amazon's first foray into the world of Young Adult fiction, based on Lauren Oliver's novel of the same name. He plays Tyler Young, a drug dealer in a quaint town. The show is based on a group of teenagers who sign up to take part in a life-risking game in order to win a cash price (via The Fandom).
Although he's been acting since he was 10 years old, Elsass admitted, in an interview with Camille Ziegenhagen, that he was beginning to doubt he could make it as an actor before he landed his role as Trip in Little Fires Everywhere. He said: "A year to two years ago, I wasn't sure I could make acting as a career work. I thought it was a kind of one of those dream jobs because, for many, it is a dream job. It is still a job, and there are stressful and tough things about it. It can get me down sometimes, and it can also be a mentally straining job. I feel people may not realize that. It is still one of my passions and something I genuinely love."
Now that things are picking up, we're sure Jordan Elsass will be a household name in a few years.
