Off-Broadway stage production

Ansel Elgort embarked on his acting journey with an Off-Broadway stage production in 2012, at the age of 18 while on the brink of high school graduation. His film debut came in 2013 with a significant role in the revamped "Carrie." The following year, he gained more attention with a prominent role in "Divergent" and its subsequent films. However, his breakthrough moment is often attributed to his performance in "The Fault in Our Stars," alongside Shailene Woodley, earning praise from critics.

Multiple series & less successful projects 

In the subsequent years, Elgort continued his involvement in the "Divergent" series which achieved financial success but faced declining reviews. His lead role in "Baby Driver" in 2017 marked a turning point, receiving positive reviews and solidifying his career. Elgort even managed to acquire the car he drove in the film as a birthday gift.

Towards the end of the 2010s, he appeared in less successful projects like "November Criminals," "Billionaire Boys Club," and "The Goldfinch." Despite setbacks, he took on the lead role in Spielberg's "West Side Story" in 2021, facing mixed financial results. Elgort then ventured into television with "Tokyo Vice" for HBO Max and remained attached to various film projects.

Music

Beyond acting, Elgort, under the alias "Ansolo," ventured into electronic dance music, signing a record deal in 2014. He made his mark at the Electric Zoo Festival and continued to release electronic tracks over the years.
