Education
At school his art teacher encouraged him having seen his talent. Art remained his strong subject through school years, and it was a natural progression that Ellison then moved on to art college, firstly at Wimbledon and then Camberwell.

His first acting role was in the play Woman in a Dressing Gown at said theatre. His first break was a guest appearance in The Sweeney (1975).

In 1984, he appeared in Paul McCartney's feature film Give My Regards To Broad Street playing Rath's Minder. In 1986, he played criminal gang leader Charlie Elkin in Running Scared, based on Bernard Ashley's novel.
Having first appeared as Burnside in 1984, he became a permanent cast member of The Bill cast between 1988 and 2000.
He appeared in one episode of the sci-fi police series, Crime Traveller, in 1997.
Although best known for playing tough guys, he also played George, a transvestite, in the radio series The Change from 2001 to 2004.
