JERSEY CITY -- When Peyton says Omaha, he's talking about Elijah Richardson.
At 13 years old, Elijah Richardson, an 8th grader at Golden Door Charter School in Jersey City, has already appeared in a Nike commercial alongside NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.
But now, the Jersey City teenager is taking his outgoing personality and natural acting talent to an HBO short film. This February, Elijah is set to co-star in "Stanhope," a short film about a Brooklyn youth who gets entangled by street violence. Elijah plays the role of a "bad little kid" named Rufus, the friend of the main character.
