Dominic Fike’s acting career started in 2019 when he starred as “Elliot” in the popular show Euphoria. However, Fike has struggled with a drug addiction which made coming to the show difficult as the show is mainly about drugs. He often showed up high to the set and was high during scenes they filmed. Fike was almost kicked off for this reason. Dominic Fike performed “Elliot’s Song” with actor Zendaya on the show in season 2. He also dated fellow co-star, Hunter Schafer for a year and a half before the couple broke up in July of 2023. Although Dominic Fike had a rocky start to his acting career, he has appeared in other movies such as Little Death and Earth Mama.
