Welcome to the official home of working actor, writer Elijah Rashad Reed. After fully committing myself to act about five years ago, I have undertaken a rigorous training regime to sharpen my tools and craft.

While working to expand me as an artist as well as a young man, I’m fortunate to have been part of a variety of projects, including two feature films, numerous short films, and commercials.

My most recent accomplishments include Deric on HBO MAX Doom Patrol Season 4, My Dead Dad, Darnell in the  BET+ feature film Holiday Hideaway, starring Camille Winbush and Novi Brown, and Winning Time on HBO Max.

Starring roles in five short films: Nathan Xia’s Ayo Checkup,  Cole Swanson’s HBO Max nominated short film, “BABY” with Vanessa Bell Calloway. Starring as the male lead Trayvon in LaDarrion Williams‘ play UMOJA, Heretic, Prison or Passion, UPLOAD, and co-starring in the 2021 virtual run of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play,“Sweat.”

My network television appearances include, Netflix’s Colin Black & White, Grownish, Snowfall and This Is Us. 

Currently, I’m continuing my studies with noted acting coach Desean K. Terry and The Last Acting Studio in los Angeles, Calif., and Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB).
