His performances have been seen at film festivals in Canada, USA, France, Germany, Ireland, Spain, Korea, Japan as well as the UK.

2010 will see the release of 'Umbrage' in which Jonnie plays an Irish Cowboy Vampire alongside Doug Bradley (Hellraiser).

Jonnie wrote, produced and starred in the feature 'Animals' for Jaffa Films and has recently completed development on the feature screenplay 'Take Down The Union Jack', a political thriller to be directed by Paul Hills for Dimarco Films. He is currently developing the comedy 'Another Man's Rhubarb' for Elephant Features and will team up again with Paul Hills in 2011 for a comedy based around the world of stage magic.

A keen photographer, poker player and independent traveller Jonnie's other interests include Tai Chi, the history of art, French cinema, a thousand different bands and answering rhetorical questions.
