said the Canadian actor in July 2020 to Pop Culturalist. He though added it may not have been the most healthy developmental stage in his life. In high school, he performed in a musical production of Bye Bye Birdie.

The young actor took his acting training from Railtown Studios drama school in Vancouver, Canada.

They had fifty people, all in costume, doing this brilliant, incredible musical number.

It led me down a really interesting path.

Elms on the other hand also revealed he had often considered himself a bit too cool for theater and drama and had always wanted to become a philosopher and an intellectual.

While he didn’t say any such words as a girlfriend or so forth, he did throw out some lines that pretty much put to the paper – Sophie was something much more than just a random friend to the Project Blue Book alum.
