Fan Casting Ellis in Scott Mann's Seven Samurai

A weathered mercenary from the infamous 32nd Battalion, Ellis carries the thousand-yard stare of twenty years of bush wars. He's Charlie's right hand—pragmatic, dry-witted, and fiercely loyal. Ellis has seen regimes rise and fall, fought for causes he no longer believes in, and lost everything. But he recognizes something pure in the villagers' fight, and his choice to stay, despite every survival instinct screaming otherwise, marks the beginning of his own quiet redemption.
