I was pondering who I'd cast as Eltas and immediately thought Michael Cera and (without revealing this) I asked Jennie who she thought and she immediately said "Michael Cera?"

And, in fact, Eltas only gets a chance because Ailios is a no show that day!

I mean he gets to tell Turambar and the Foalókë but then he wants to tell more but Lindo’s like ”umm... Littleheart would be really good to hear from” and then Littleheart shows up and is like ”oh I need Ailios and Meril to help me” and we never hear from Eltas again!
