Elijah “Eli” Stevenson is an American film and television actor who rose to prominence for his role as Oliver Schermerhorn in the short-lived Netflix series “Everything Sucks!” Stevenson has emerged in recent years as one of the most promising actors of the next generation. Although he has always had an interest in acting, he did not win his first screen role until he was 17 or 18 years old, in the 2016 comedy-drama “Captain Fantastic.” Stevenson has since found employment in both film and television. He has starred in the short films ‘Trout’ and ‘Missing’, portrayed Young Terrence in the fantasy horror film ‘Tall Men,’ and appeared in a cameo on an episode of the web series ‘Dani’s Bucket List’. In 2017, he was cast in ‘Everything Sucks!’ as Oliver Schermerhorn. Despite receiving generally positive reviews from critics, the program was canceled after one season. Since then, Stevenson has been active and has multiple initiatives in the works. In contrast to many of his contemporaries, he does not appear to have an extensive social media presence. His only Instagram account has more than 109 thousand followers.
Ascend to Fame
Elijah Stevenson has had an interest in acting since he was a young child. In 2016, he was featured in his first acting role, Captain Fantastic, an independent film. In addition to Viggo Mortensen, George MacKay, and Steve Zahn, the film depicts a father rearing his six children in the Pacific Northwest forests.
Stevenson then directed two short films: “Trout” by Brett Smith and “Missing” by Rachelle Henry. In the second feature film of his career, directed by Jonathan Holbrook, he portrayed the younger version of the film’s primary protagonist, Terrence Mackleby. (the older version was portrayed by actor Dan Crisafulli).
He made his first appearance on the small screen in the web series Dani’s Bucket List. In the pilot episode of the program, he portrayed the character Trevor Blanchard. The following year, he appeared in the 2016 comedy “Second Nature,” alongside Collette Wolfe, Sam Huntington, and Carollani Sandberg.
Then, he landed a role in the Netflix comedy-drama coming-of-age series Everything Sucks!, set in the mid-1990s. Any generation could relate to the show’s treatment of adolescent issues, which had distinct comedic undertones. Stevenson portrayed Oliver Schermerhorn, a drama club senior and the boyfriend of Emaline Addario (Sydney Sweeney) who subsequently flees to New York City. The series premiered on February 16, 2018, to be divided into favorable reviews. Netflix chose not to renew the show for a second season.
He also starred in the 2018 mystery horror film ‘Cam’. Multiple projects by Stevenson are either currently available or will be short. He is scheduled to appear in the western dramas “We Take the Low Road” by Domenic Barbero and Jerry Spears, “Woodstock or Bust” by Leslie Bloom, and “Sink” by Riley Gibson.
