Paul Ellis auditioned for "Shortland Street" at the age of 18 but did not win the part. However the casting directors took a liking to Ellis and hired him as a two-week role of Fergus; a homeless bad boy who was in a group of squatters Guy Warner helped. After the stint ended, producers were impressed by Ellis' interpretation of the character and rewrote the character so that he was the son of clinic CEO – David Kearney. Ellis was signed to a recurring basis and returned several months later. In 1998, Ellis became a regular cast member. In 2000 Ellis made headlines when it was suggested he was axed by Shortland Street producers. Ellis later spoke out against the rumours and stated it was his wish to leave the show after he stopped learning about acting while appearing.
