His film work included leading roles in several films such as The Shielding Shadow (1916), The Restless Sex (1920) and The Cost (film). His son Robert Kellard also became an actor. His other son, Thomas Kellard was also an actor and then became a Vice President at Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction in Seattle, Washington. Ralph's grandson's from Thomas, Phil and Rick Kellard, are both television writers and producers. His great grandson, Matthew Kellard is a screenwriter.

Kellard was referred to as a popular local matinee idol of the Auditorium Stock Company in Kansas when he returned on screen in a showing of The Cost (film) in 1920. In 1915 Kellard was voted the second most handsome film star, and shown in a photograph of "this month's prominent film stars" in Motion Picture Classic.
Kellard appeared in the French language publication Mon Ciné on June 28, 1923. Images of Kellard are available at GettyImages, The Wisconsin Historical Society, and The Silent Film Still Archive.
