In 2011, Elen played Gwen in horror thriller Panic Button, directed by Chris Crow.
The film received mild success, screening at both the London Fright Festival and at the Cannes Film Festival.
Elen also had a small role in the 2013 Brad Pitt movie World War Z, playing a flight attendant.
Since then, she has appeared in BBC drama Atlantis, Welsh language network S4C’s Hinterland, and BBC’s Casualty.
Elen appeared alongside David Tennant in the third and final series of Broadchurch in 2017.
In 2018, she played a character named Jennifer in Netflix’s hit movie, Apostle, before landing the role of Miranda Blake in the first series of The Mallorca Files.
It was around this time too, in July 2018, that Elen gave birth to a baby boy named Wilfred.
Elen’s son’s father, Ben Wiles, is a chef, but it is not clear if the couple are still together.
The Mallorca Files was first released by BBC One in November 2019, and is both set and filmed on the sunny Spanish island of Mallorca.
At the time, Elen spoke to the Cambrian News about her character: “Miranda is so complex and has so many quirks. She’s obsessed with work, and her fight for justice annoys her bosses.”
“I could identify with her at once. I knew immediately I could play her,” Elen added.
Dubbed the “Mediterranean Death in Paradise”, The Mallorca Files follows Elen and Julian’s characters as they tackle the island’s soaring crime rate.
Critics have praised the second series, with The Telegraphs’ arts and entertainment editor, Anita Singh, saying: “It all goes down as easily as a cold beer on a Mediterranean holiday.”
