His Name In The Script
As mentioned earlier, Elliott’s name was in the script of The Big Lebowski. With descriptions that mentioned him, it was clear that the character was written especially for him. It’s like the scriptwriters tried their luck at getting him to accept the role by including his name in the script!

Working With Jeff Bridges
Sam’s role in the The Big Lebowski opened the opportunity for him to play Kermit Newman in The Contender. The director of the film, Rod Lurie, liked how Elliott and Jeff Bridges worked together. When Bridges decided to join the film, Rod also sent Elliott a script. Luckily, he accepted the offer.
