In film, Rees starred in the Pirates of the Caribbean films (with Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Norman Howell, Arnold Chon and Sala Baker), Beowulf (with Sebastian Roché), To End All Wars with Kiefer Sutherland and Robert Carlyle and 2009's Star Trek (with Baker, Zachary Quinto and Faran Tahir).

Other recent appearances include the award-winning videogames Dragon Age: Inquisition and Dragon Age: Origins (with Gideon Emery), as well as TV work such as the acclaimed HULU webseries "The Confession" (again with Kiefer), Cartoon Network's Batman: The Brave and the Bold, the long-running soap opera Days of Our Lives and Touch (again with Sutherland and with Mykelti Williamson).

Rees chose his stage name "Greg Ellis" randomly at the age of sixteen on the request of his actors' union, as he had the same name as another actor. In 2015, he reverted to using Jonny Rees.[1]

On May 11, 2016, Rees was reported missing in North Hollywood, CA, following an apparent manic episode. He was confirmed as unharmed and back at home on May 15.[2]
