6. He’s co-authored a children’s book
Elliott and his partner Nathan Lane may never have shared a stage or collaborated on a show or movie, but they have worked together.

Titled Naughty Mabel, the story follows a mischievous canine who does naughty things like eating underwear, crashing parties, and licking himself in public, according to an interview on NPR.
