Chris Ellis

Biography

Chris Ellis (born April 14, 1956) is an American film and television actor. Ellis always wanted to be an actor because of television.

He grew up in the 50's in the deep south in a "world of privation and violence", but saw on television people who seemed to have lives of ease and privilege. It took him seven years to finish college however, because "I have always been shiftless". During those years Chris became involved in community theatre in Memphis, where "I did and do still think the quality of the work has always been quite good".
