Tarik Ellinger

How did this 18 year old actor make it into the industry at a young age, and start his own skateboarding company in high school? This is Tarik Ellinger. Tarik was born in Colorado but grew up in California. One of his biggest inspirations was his uncle who suddenly passed away. He was a brilliant business man who was able to balance family/work/ and a social life perfectly. Tarik hopes one day to fill in his shoes and make his family proud. When Tarik’s sister was going out for auditions and being on set, Tarik knew he had a passion for doing the same thing, and he wanted to try it for himself. In 5 years he sees himself moving back to LA and continuing to get back into acting while maintaining a successful company. He also wants to star in a star wars show or movie.
