Born Mirko Korcinsky in Locarno to a family of Lithuanian origin, Ellis moved, after his studies, to Italy, where he made his film debut in 1946, in a critically acclaimed role in Aldo Vergano's neorealist drama Il sole sorge ancora.[1] One year later, he debuted on stage in the theatrical company of Maria Melato.[1] He later alternated important roles and character roles, in genre films and television productions.[1] Ellis was married to fellow actress Esther Maring, with whom he lived in Alghero, Sardinia.[1][2]

On 11 September 2014, Ellis fell from the balcony of his fourth-floor apartment and died.[2] Police believe his death was a suicide.[2]

Selected filmography
gollark: The redis session thing uses the random session ID generator.

gollark: That's actually in Prologue's random session ID code, fun.
gollark: Oh, I made a SQLite session storage thing instead, due to SQLite good.
gollark: Redis? Interesting.
