Mini bio
How it started.
Ansel grew up in New York with photographer Arthur Elgort and opera director Grethe Barrett Holby as his parents. He trained in ballet as a child and attended LaGuardia High School, where he performed in Guys and Dolls. His professional stage work included Regrets in 2012.
Finding his audience.
His screen career began with Carrie in 2013. Playing Augustus Waters opposite Shailene Woodley in The Fault in Our Stars brought him wider recognition in 2014. He later played the music-loving getaway driver Baby in Baby Driver and Tony in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story.
Making his own music.
Before releasing songs under his own name, he made electronic tracks and remixes as Ansølo. Unite arrived in 2014. His solo catalog includes Thief, Supernova and You Can Count on Me with Logic, followed by Guestroom in 2024 and Canopy in 2026.
Back to the stage.
After starring in and executive producing Tokyo Vice, Ansel returned to dance as The Godfather in the 2025 New York engagement of Quadrophenia, A Rock Ballet. His next screen projects include Dinner with Audrey, in which he plays fashion designer Hubert de Givenchy.
