What is Shawn Elliott's Net Worth?
Shawn Elliott was a Puerto Rican-born American actor and former singer who had a net worth of $500 thousand. Eliezer Santiago (better known as Shawn Elliott) was born in Puerto Rico. Elliott had a musical hit in Europe with a cover of Sir Lancelot's Shame And Scandal In The Family in 1965. The cover failed to chart in America, however, where English comedian Lance Percival's version did chart. Peter Tosh and the Wailers, as well as the Blues Busters, later emulated the arrangement used by Elliot in preparing their own later covers of the song. Shawn Elliott's other recordings include Marieke and Child Is Father To The Man. Elliott originally recorded for Roulette Records before moving with his brother Roland to Atlantic Records in 1968, though none of his later records charted in Europe or the United States. Elliott then turned increasingly more to acting.
He is known for his role as Eduardo Fernandez, father of Alex (David López) and Gaby Fernandez (Mayteana Morales) on the TV show Ghostwriter. His most recent role was in the movie Arbitrage. Eliezer Santiago (aka Shawn Elliott) grew up in New York performing as both an actor and singer. He had two sons, Roland and Russell Santiago, from his first marriage to Gloria Fernandez. He also has an adopted daughter and reportedly has had two more children. His current wife is fellow actor Donna Murphy, to whom he has been married since 1990. Shawn Elliott died on March 11, 2016.
