Smash who is ellis

Times to Vulture have boarded the Ellis hate train. Why do we faithful Smash fans Smash -heads? Smash -holes? And that just might explain why everyone hates his guts. Generational generalizations are tricky things, of course. Other Millennial observers describe a generation of impatient job-hoppers who demand instant gratification and constant praise and feedback. They might as well have been describing Ellis. The perfect assistant! Not for long. The eavesdropping! Oh, the eavesdropping.

In one of the most recent episodes, he ably whips up a kale smoothie. Young people, always with their computers and their smoothies, am I right? He demands credit for every little thing he does. Early in the pilot, Ellis vaguely suggests veteran musical writing team Tom and Julia Debra Messing consider a musical about Marilyn Monroe. From there, the successful pros mull it over and get to work writing snappy songs, devising character arcs, laboring over plot mechanics, courting a top producer, and, well, doing all the difficult, expert work it takes the launch a Broadway musical.

Armed with irresistible charm, boundless ambition, razor-sharp intelligence, and ruthless determination, Ellis sought to rise to the top of the showbiz heap, eventually asking Eileen to become a co-producer for Bombshell in Hell on Earth. After poisoning Rebecca Duvall in the lead-up to the Previews in Boston, he was fired. Ellis was shown to be communicating with Jerry Rand in regards to Eileen and her relationship with Nick so that Jerry could receive producer rights to the musical.

In The Fringe we find out his girlfriend broke up with him; claiming Ellis to be a psychopath "and also gay". In The Dress Rehearsal , he makes a cameo appearance during Tom's nightmare. When Tom turns over to his side, he sees Ellis in his bed, shirtless and smiling, causing Tom to start screaming, and then wake up. Official site. Smash Wiki Explore. The Show.
