Tony Ellis was born in Alexandria, Virginia. He lived the majority of his life within the Washington DC area with his mother, father, and two little brothers. Before adopting the stage name "Tony Ellis," he went by his legal name, Dominique Ellis. The now 23 year old actor wasn't always one who lived for the spotlight. Tony attended various local schools within the Nation's capitol such as Morningside Elementary, Andrew Jackson Middle School, Forestville Military Academy, Prince Georges Community College, and the University of Maryland. Still young and unsure of his true career, Tony jumped from Graphic Design to Criminal Justice searching for his destiny. Tony Ellis caught the "Acting Bug" over a Summer Church Retreat Film in which he was featured as an extra. He loved the creativity of working on camera with others and wanted more. At the age of 22, he ran into a friend between classes at his college which would change his life forever. Tony's friend suggested a few auditions that he should look into to get started. Tony found himself many days just harassing friends on campus to do mini scenes so that he could better familiarize himself with developing technique and craft. He soon received his first invite for an film audition at Howard University named Class Act (2012). Nervous, unsure and shy, Tony attended the audition with many questions about himself still looming. He then found out in later weeks that he had been casted for the lead role of the film. Tony had a fortune that not many talents experience on their first audition. Viewing a supported cast that outweighed him in credits, Tony surprisingly did not let their successes intimidate him. He in fact quickly gained respect and trust from his cast to carry the film . This instilled a confidence within Tony that was born earlier than expected. Tony set fire to the local Washington DC Film Industry, landing fifteen credits during a nine month span. A few credits to be named but not limited to are: Fang (2011), Lovely Molly (2011), The Serpents Tongue (2011), Class Act (2012) , Abandoned (2010), and many others. In January 2011 Tony finally decided it was time to join the Union. On January 25, 2011, Tony Ellis officially signed as a AFTRA Talent. Understanding the magnitude of becoming a professional talent, he soon began to look for a mainstream market in which he could work towards becoming an Academy Award Winning Talent. After great debate between relocating to New York and Los Angeles, Tony decided he would take his talent to Los Angeles to pursue his film career as a professional actor. With only one hundred dollars in his pocket, Tony quickly boarded his Southwest flight to embark on the newest chapter of his career. Since reaching Los Angeles, Tony has done prime time credits such as Hart of Dixie (2011), Prime Suspect (2011), Boardwalk Empire (2011), Ringer (2011), Good Christian Belles (2012), Gangster Squad (2012), and Dark Knight Rises (2012). Tony Ellis has also recently started up his first production company, Motion View Productions LLC, showing his versatility both in-front and behind the camera. With only sixteen months under his belt, this 23 year old actor is definitely someone to keep a close watch on. Tony is also taking training at the Stella Adler Academy in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Tony Ellis is as dedicated and passionate as they come. He studies closely under the craft and technique of Denzel Washington and Will Smith, combining both charm and comedy with dramatic deliverance. Tony Ellis is truly a talent that will be a part of our Industry World of Entertainment for many more years to come.
