In the 1960s he moved to Newfoundland to host a teen radio show, Now Sound. He starred as the title character in the TV series Skipper and Company in St. John's, Newfoundland, which ran on the CBC's Newfoundland affiliate CBNT from 1974 to 1982.

Bellew also performed in The Forest Rangers, Gordon Pinsent's Quentin Durgens, M.P., Cannonball, CBC TV Theatre, On Camera, Folio and Star Time Theatre, among others. He was in CBC Toronto's production of Macbeth with Sean Connery (before Connery starred in his first James Bond film).

During the 1990s, he hosted the Weekend Arts Magazine in Newfoundland and Labrador. In the late 1990s, Bellew performed as the personification of P.J. Billington, of the P.J. Billington's restaurants. He made public appearances and voiced radio and TV advertisements.
