Chris Ellison (actor)
View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
Christopher Michael Ellison (born 16 December 1946 in St Pancras, London)[1] is a British actor from London. He is best known for his role as DCI Frank Burnside in the ITV police series The Bill and short-lived spin-off series Burnside.
Key Information
Education
[edit]At school his art teacher encouraged him having seen his talent. Art remained his strong subject throughout his school years, and it was a natural progression that Ellison then moved on to art college, firstly at Wimbledon and then Camberwell.[2]
Career
[edit]He served in the Merchant Navy, trained as a graphic designer and worked as a minicab driver. His first drama job was assistant stage manager at the Richmond Theatre. His first acting role was in the play Woman in a Dressing Gown at said theatre. His first major guest role was an appearance in The Sweeney (1975).
He appeared in many guest roles in TV shows throughout the 1970s, including episodes of The Professionals, Dempsey and Makepeace and Bergerac, and in the films Rosie Dixon – Night Nurse (1978), Lady Oscar (1979), Minder, Brush Strokes (1986) and Buster (1988), based on the Great Train Robbery of 1963. In 1981 he had a notable role as bent DI in the ITV crime mini-series Wolcott, a performance with marked similarities to his later work in The Bill.[3]
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 Detective Sergeant Tommy Burnside in 1984, he became a regular cast member of The Bill from 1988 to 1993 now with the name Frank Burnside appearing as Detective Inspector. After an absence of five years, Burnside returned on a semi-regular basis from 1998 to 2000 having been promoted to the rank of Detective Chief Inspector during the interim.[citation needed]
He appeared in one episode of the sci-fi police series Crime Traveller in 1997.[citation needed]
2003–2010
[edit]In 2003, Ellison played the lead role in the revived series of Fort Boyard, which aired on Challenge. In 2005, he guest starred in the Doctor Who audio adventure The Game. In 2007, Ellison played the role of Len Harker in the BBC One soap opera EastEnders.
He has appeared in Casualty and Judge John Deed, among other appearances on Soccer AM, and presenting roles in The World's Most Stupid Criminals and Mousetrapped.[citation needed]
In February 2009, Ellison won Celebrity Come Dine with Me on Channel 4. In 2009, he appeared in the film A Silent Whistle and in 2010 Bonded by Blood and Basement.
2011–present
[edit]In August 2011, he appeared in a New Tricks episode titled 'Half Life' as a prisoner. On 27 August 2015, he entered the Celebrity Big Brother house.[4] He was evicted on 8 September 2015.[citation needed]
In 2017 he appeared on the celebrity version of the television game show Pointless.[5]
Personal life
[edit]Books
[edit]In 1989, Ellison illustrated the children's books Otto and the Sea Circus, written by his future The Bill co-star Tom Cotcher.[6]
In 2020, Ellison shared his memories of his early work on The Bill for the book Witness Statements: Making The Bill (Series 1-3). A follow-up volume, Witness Statements: Making The Bill (1988) was published in 2022, also featuring memories from Ellison about his time as Frank Burnside during the earliest half-hour episodes of the programme.[7]
Aphasia diagnosis
[edit]In April 2022, Ellison revealed that he had been suffering from aphasia for about 18 months.[8][9] Ellison's decision to publicly disclose his condition was inspired by American actor Bruce Willis's announcement that he too had the condition.[8]
Ellison had been diagnosed with the condition following a stroke in mid-2020 when his wife discovered him lying on their bedroom floor at their home in Brighton.[8] He had to be removed via a skylight due to the ambulance crew not being able to move him down a spiral staircase.[8] Ellison was moved to a rehabilitation centre in Haywards Heath.[8]
When Ellison returned home in November 2020, his wife became his full-time carer but she credits their two adult children and Ellison's former castmate Mark Wingett for providing valuable support.[8] Due to his condition hampering his ability to communicate, Ellison became anxious when leaving the house due to the fear of being recognised and not being able to engage in conversation.[9] Despite having difficulty speaking, Ellison can fully understand what others are saying.[9]
Despite initially being reluctant to publicise his diagnosis, Ellison and his wife hope that by sharing their experience with aphasia it will enable other people to develop an awareness and understanding of the condition.[9]

Early life and education
Early life
Christopher Michael Ironside, who later adopted the stage name Chris Ellison, was born on 16 December 1946 in London, England.[1] He changed his name to Chris Ellison upon entering the acting profession to better suit his career.[4] From an early age, Ellison displayed a strong interest in art, aspiring to become an artist, which influenced his initial career path before turning to acting.[8] After leaving school at 17, he served in the Merchant Navy, gaining early professional experience at sea.[9] Subsequently, Ellison worked as a minicab driver in London to support himself before formal education and acting pursuits.[1]Education
Ellison attended the Wimbledon School of Art followed by the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, where he pursued formal training in the visual arts.[10] His studies at Camberwell focused on life drawing, building on an early aptitude for art that had been evident during his school years.[11][10] Through this education, Ellison trained as a graphic designer and developed skills in graphic design and illustration, which complemented his creative inclinations.[4] Prior to enrolling in art college, he had worked in the Merchant Navy and as a minicab driver; these experiences preceded his artistic training, which provided a foundation in visual creativity that facilitated his later transition into the performing arts.[4]Career
Early career
Ellison transitioned into acting after training as a graphic designer and working in the Merchant Navy as well as driving minicabs.[1] His initial involvement in theater came as an assistant stage manager at the Richmond Theatre, where he made his acting debut in the play Woman in a Dressing Gown.[4] Ellison's first film appearance was in 1974, portraying the character Pete in the thriller The Terrorists.[1] The following year, he achieved his first significant television break with a guest role in the acclaimed police series The Sweeney.[4] During the late 1970s, Ellison built his profile through supporting parts in prominent British television productions, such as episodes of The Professionals.[12] These roles highlighted his ability to portray tough, authoritative figures, paving the way for more prominent opportunities in the 1980s. His casting in The Bill in 1984 represented the onset of his major fame.[2]The Bill
Chris Ellison first portrayed the character of Detective Sergeant Frank Burnside in the inaugural episode of The Bill, broadcast on 16 October 1984, where he appeared as a guest alongside Eric Deacon's PC Reg Hollis.[13] Initially named Tommy Burnside, the character was renamed Frank to avoid confusion with an existing Metropolitan Police officer of the same name.[13] Burnside was depicted as a hard-bitten detective from Barton Street station with a mysterious past, known for bending rules to catch criminals.[2] By 1988, Ellison returned as a regular cast member, with Burnside promoted to Detective Inspector at Sun Hill police station, taking over the vacant DI role after Roy Galloway's departure.[12] This marked the character's evolution into a central figure in the Criminal Investigation Department, appearing intermittently from 1984 to 1993 and again from 1998 to 2000, amassing 285 episodes in total.[1] As DI Burnside, the character embodied a tough, no-nonsense approach to policing, often employing unorthodox tactics like intimidating suspects—earning him the nickname "Mr Teabag" among real-life gangland figures such as Lenny McLean for his aggressive interrogation style.[2] Burnside's traits as a gruff, humorous hardman with sharp one-liners made him a standout, blending compassion for colleagues with a fiery temper that led to on-screen clashes.[13] Fans embraced the character as one of The Bill's most beloved, with Ellison still approached in public as "Frank" years after his final appearance, reflecting his enduring popularity in British television.[13] The role propelled Ellison to stardom, establishing him as a household name through the series' peak viewership, though it later contributed to typecasting that limited diverse opportunities.[2] Ellison himself noted the double-edged impact, stating, "Burnside killed me," as directors struggled to envision him beyond the tough cop persona.[2] Behind the scenes, filming fostered strong bonds among the cast, with Ellison maintaining close friendships with co-stars like Mark Wingett (PC Jim Carver) and Billy Murray (DS Ted Roach), whom he praised for their camaraderie during long production days.[13] To combat boredom on set, particularly during static car scenes, Ellison and others would remove their trousers, turning routine shoots into lighthearted moments amid the show's demanding schedule.[14] The writers' high-quality scripts, rich with character-driven drama, were a highlight for Ellison, allowing Burnside's development to resonate deeply with audiences.[13] This tenure naturally paved the way for the 2000 spin-off series Burnside, extending the character's legacy.[2]Burnside
Burnside is a British police procedural drama series that served as a spin-off from the long-running ITV programme The Bill, focusing on the character DCI Frank Burnside following his transfer from the Metropolitan Police to the National Crime Squad (NCS). Aired post-watershed, the show depicted Burnside tackling high-stakes investigations into organized crime, arms trafficking, and serial killers, allowing for a darker, more adult-oriented narrative with mature language and increased violence compared to its parent series.[15][16] The series consisted of six episodes, broadcast weekly from 6 July to 10 August 2000, and structured as three two-part stories to emphasize serialized storytelling. Created by Jamie Nuttgens and Richard Handford, and produced by Thames Television for ITV, it featured guest appearances from actors such as Paul Nicholas as a gangster and Shane Ritchie as an informant. Christopher Ellison reprised his lead role as the tough, unorthodox DCI Burnside, an "old-school copper" prioritizing results over protocol, supported by a diverse team including Zoë Eeles as the feminist DC Sam Ellis and Justin Pierre as the gay Black DC Mick Reid.[17][15][16] Despite the character's popularity from The Bill—where Ellison had portrayed Burnside intermittently since 1984—Burnside struggled with audience engagement, averaging approximately 6.5 million viewers per episode and ranking around 30th in the weekly charts, well below the expectations for an ITV prime-time drama. This underwhelming performance led to its swift cancellation after a single series, with no further seasons commissioned. Critical reception was mixed, though fan reviews praised Ellison's intense performance and the show's gritty action.[16][15] The short-lived series nonetheless solidified Ellison's enduring association with the Burnside persona, as he later reflected that audiences continue to identify him primarily with the role, stating, "They’ll never get away from Burnside and neither will I because he’s always with me." While it represented a brief extension of his The Bill legacy into a standalone format, the show's failure contributed to a pivot in Ellison's career trajectory, prompting exploration of varied television, film, and theatre projects beyond police procedurals in the early 2000s.[13]Later career
Following the conclusion of the Burnside spin-off series in 2000, Ellison's acting career shifted toward sporadic guest appearances and select projects, reflecting a gradual diversification from his established police drama persona. In 2007, he joined the cast of the BBC soap opera EastEnders for a brief arc as Len Harker, a suave craftsman and ladies' man who engages in a short-lived romance with the character Pat Butcher during the show's Brighton-themed episodes.[18] Ellison also ventured into audio work with a voice role in 2005, portraying the character Morian in The Game, a Big Finish Productions adaptation featuring the Fifth Doctor from Doctor Who. In 2011, he appeared in the BBC crime drama New Tricks as Derek "Smiley" Robinson, a shady figure central to the episode "Half Life," which explored a cold case involving nuclear secrets.[19][20] Returning to the theatre, Ellison took on the demanding role of the escaped convict Abel Magwitch in a 2013 West End revival of Charles Dickens's Great Expectations at the Vaudeville Theatre, directed by Graham McLaren and praised for its innovative staging.[21] That same year, he featured in independent films, continuing a pattern of supporting parts in genre pieces. In 2014, Ellison played the gangster Roy Edwards in the film We Still Kill the Old Way, reprising the role in its 2016 sequel We Still Steal the Old Way.[1] In a departure from scripted acting, Ellison entered the Channel 5 reality series Celebrity Big Brother on 27 August 2015 as one of 15 housemates, navigating house dynamics marked by conflicts; he was evicted second on 8 September after receiving the fewest public votes in the initial double elimination.[22] By the late 2010s, Ellison's on-screen output had notably slowed, with appearances limited to roles in low-budget British films such as King of Crime (2018), where he played the crime boss Edward. His final credited role came in 2021 as Basil Payne, a skeptical investigator, in the supernatural horror The Ghosts of Borley Rectory, marking the effective wind-down of his professional acting commitments prior to his aphasia diagnosis.[2][23]Personal life
Family
Chris Ellison married Anita Joannou, a model and television presenter, in 1980, and the couple remains together as of 2025.[24] The couple has two children: a son named Louis, who works as a film director specializing in music videos, and a daughter named Francesca.[8] The family also includes a granddaughter.[13] Ellison and his family have resided in Brighton, England, for many years, where they have built a private life away from the spotlight.[2] Anita has occasionally spoken publicly about family matters, including Ellison's health challenges, to raise awareness.[25]Books
In 1989, Chris Ellison illustrated the children's book Otto and the Sea Circus, written by Tom Cotcher and published by Heather Books as the first installment in the Otto and Andrew Adventure series.[26] The 28-page paperback features Ellison's artwork alongside Cotcher's story of young protagonists encountering a magical sea circus, reflecting Ellison's background in graphic design.[4] This publication served as an early creative outlet for Ellison, blending his artistic skills with narrative storytelling aimed at young readers.[27] Ellison's literary contributions later extended to sharing personal anecdotes from his acting career in Witness Statements: Making The Bill, a series of unofficial guidebooks compiled by Oliver Crocker. In the 2020 volume, Witness Statements: Making The Bill Series 1-3, Ellison provided interviews detailing his experiences on the early episodes and the pilot Woodentop, alongside contributions from 40 other cast and crew members, including rare photos and production insights.[28] The book, published on November 18, 2020, by The Bill Podcast, aims to document the creation of the show's initial 36 hour-long episodes for fans and television historians.[28] It received positive reception, described as an "unmissable read" by We Are Cult and an "excellent companion" by Archive TV Musings.[28] A follow-up edition, Witness Statements: Making The Bill 1988, published on November 12, 2022, further featured Ellison's recollections of the show's transition to a bi-weekly half-hour format, with in-depth interviews from 60 participants and 40 unpublished behind-the-scenes images.[29] This 344-page work focuses on the first 48 episodes, offering episode-specific notes to preserve the series' production history.[29] Reviewers praised it as a "masterful amalgam" and "irresistible read" for its detailed archival value.[29] These publications highlight Ellison's role in documenting The Bill's legacy through reflective narratives tied to his portrayal of DI Frank Burnside.[28]Aphasia diagnosis
In the summer of 2020, Chris Ellison suffered a severe stroke at his home in Brighton, which his wife Anita discovered when she found him collapsed on their bedroom floor.[24] The stroke resulted in a diagnosis of aphasia, a brain disorder affecting his ability to communicate.[30] The primary symptoms of Ellison's aphasia include a significant loss of speech and verbal communication skills, rendering him largely unable to speak, though he retains full comprehension of language and his surroundings.[31] Following the stroke, he underwent rehabilitation at a specialist center, where medical efforts focused on managing the condition, but the aphasia persisted without full recovery of speech.[32] This impairment directly led to the end of his acting career, as the demands of performance became unfeasible.[33] Anita Ellison publicly disclosed her husband's diagnosis in April 2022 during an interview on ITV's Good Morning Britain, prompted by the similar announcement regarding actor Bruce Willis.[33] She described the emotional toll, likening it to a period of mourning for the charismatic partner she had known, and highlighted the isolation they experienced as a couple, often becoming "hermits" due to the challenges of social interaction.[34] Through her advocacy, Anita has emphasized the loneliness of living with aphasia and encouraged greater public understanding of the condition.[32] In July 2025, Ellison's son Louis released the short film The Actor, which documents his father's stroke, aphasia diagnosis, and the impact on his acting career. The film, directed and produced by Louis Ellison, premiered at film festivals and aims to raise awareness about the condition.[35][36] As of 2025, Ellison's aphasia remains an ongoing condition, continuing to affect his daily life and preventing any return to professional acting.[37] The family has largely maintained a low public profile since the initial disclosure, with Anita providing primary support and focusing on his well-being amid the persistent communication barriers.[33]Filmography
