Elliot Grey plays a pivotal role in the story as a member of Christian’s close-knit family. He winds up in a romance with Anastasia Steele’s best friend, a role that hasn’t yet been cast.
Grimes plays Wes on the long-running vampire show. He appeared in Taken 2 and is a lead in All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, the cult horror movie that just finally got released after years of sitting on the shelf.
Grimes is repped by CAA, manager Darren Goldberg of Global Creative, and attorney David Feldman of Bloom Hergott.
