"Black-ish" co-star Tracee ___ Ross (5)

I believe the answer is:

ellis

(Other definitions for ellis that I've seen before include "-- Bell, Bronte pen name" , "- - Peters (novelist)" , "Havelock --, psychologist" , "American island" , "- Peters, wrote Brother Cadfael books" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
