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

By the time he moved to New York, he had worked with many excellent actors in about two dozen plays, classical and contemporary.

His first part in either television or film came in 1979, where he played a truck driver in the TV movie The Suicide's Wife, which starred Angie...Known For
