Elijah Knight is a Swiss Actor known for "Miss Fallaci" (2024), "Unbreak My Heart" (2023) and the Swiss Lord of the Rings film "Battles of the Fords of Isen" (2022). With "Miss Fallaci", he was the first ever Swiss actor to be in the first ever Italian Paramount+ Show and with "Unbreak My Heart", he was also the first ever Swiss actor to be in the biggest coproduction in Phillipino History.
In Europe, he is known for his ability to act accent-free in French, English and German as well as his athletic and comedic capabilities on camera. After having played Junior Hockey in Utah (USA), he served in the Swiss Armed Forces as a Special Forces Soldier and his career started with sketch shows in which he impersonated military officers. Soon after that, he studied Business at the University of St. Gallen and became an Ensemble member of the StuThe Theater St. Gallen from 2014 to 2017. In 2018, he won the St.Gallen's Got Talent Competition with his comedic cover of Asher Roth's song "I love college".
In 2019, Knight took a sabbatical to China to expand his acting skills overseas and add some martial arts to his acting portfolio. The last 5 years, he has been establishing himself as a film and TV actor in numerous films and shows such as "RTL I Can See Your Voice", "The Safe" and "Es geschah am... Das Attentat von Zug".
Elijah Knight has trained at the Giles Foreman Centre for Acting in London, The Groundlings and Ivana Chubbuck Studios in Los Angeles, and the Tischler Studio in Zürich.
