In the early stages of his career, Actor, Director, Writer, Producer Dex Elliott made several guest star appearances on shows such as China Beach, Booker and many others. This momentum lead to receiving two major role offers at the same time: a starring role in the film "Boyz n the Hood" and a three-year contract, (series regular) role on the ABC daytime drama "One Life to Live," a great dilemma for a young actor to be in, but a difficult choice to make. Dex took the three year contract and after a year of working on the ABC drama, Dex left the show and New York City and returned to Los Angeles where he picked up right where he left off, booking roles on ER, Last Action Hero, opposite "Arnold Schwarzenegger" and also a re-occurring role on 90210 playing director Kyle Scott. Dex then went on to land a starring role on the Sci-Fi television show Babylon 5 playing Jonathan Harris, a character that the franchise later immortalized by creating a personal trading card in it's honor. Dex has enjoyed continual success over the years, booking series regular roles on pilots such as Valley of the Dolls and the NBC pilot Fast Company opposite Ann Jillian and Tim Matheson.

Before becoming an Actor, Rapper, Director, back in his college days, Dex worked at a nursing facility helping autistic adults and was also a live in counselor at a boy's home for troubled youth.
