Character Bio

James Ellison photo
James Ellison is an FBI Special Agent pursuing Sarah Connor. At first puzzled by what he initially thinks is Sarah's outlandish story, he later collects inexplicable evidence of the Terminators (including the body of Cromartie) and gradually realizes the truth. Jones describes his character as a "man of faith" and likens him to that of Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive. Jones was allowed to improvise a few lines to provide "a little bit of comic relief" to the show. In the second season, Ellison pursues employment with ZeiraCorp, allying himself with Catherine Weaver (whom he does not know is a Terminator until the series finale).

02x22 - Born to Run Season 2 / Episode 22: - Born to Run

John Connor: [examining a lifeless Cameron] Her chip, it's gone. Where is he... the-the-the-the John Henry? He took her chip. Where did he go?
Catherine Weaver: He didn't take the chip. She gave it to him.
Sarah Connor: John...


John Connor: Where is he?
Catherine Weaver: Not where. When.
James Ellison: What? W-what do you mean, when?
Sarah Connor: [spotting a computer element with three red lights] I know that, I've seen it before.
John Connor: Is that the Turk? It's Andy Goode's Turk.
Sarah Connor: Three dots. You lying Terminator, T-1000 bitch! You're building Skynet.
Catherine Weaver: No. I was building something to fight it. And, I'd watch who's calling who a bitch.
02x22 - Born to Run Season 2 / Episode 22: - Born to Run

James Ellison: I don't know what you think John knows.
Catherine Weaver: I know, he was at my house when the attacker showed up. I want to know why. His mother thinks he's a messiah. I want to know why. And despite your reluctance to tell me, I surmise that he and his cyber companion are connected to the John Henry body. And I want to know why.
