Eliud Kauffman Actor

Eliud started acting in his high school drama program. His big break in movies came with the Roberto Duran biopic "Hands of Stone" starring Robert De Niro, Edgar Ramirez and Ana de Armas. He booked the role of Duran's father Margarito Duran off his audition tape. Since then, he has had the privilege of working with extraordinary talent in films (The Intern, Concessions, Regarding Veronica), television (FBI, Blue Bloods, Law & Order SVU, Boardwalk Empire) and on stage (Night of the Iguana at the Signature Theatre NYC). His favorite projects explore the heartbreaks, joys and sublime beauty of the human experience.
