Mr. Ellis is the manager for the Smallville Savings and Loan bank.
Season One[]
Mr. Ellis was at the bank when Lex Luthor came in and informed Mr. Ellis that he was closing all his accounts, and wanted to withdraw his money in cash. Mr. Ellis had Lex sign a piece of paper, which Ellis then compared to an existing signature of Lex Luthor's in the bank's records (possibly suspecting a fake, a Lex Luthor look-a-like). The signature did not match. When Ellis requested to see a driver's license, "Lex" pulled out a gun and robbed the bank.
