Personal life
Rhodes was born in London, and moved to Northampton at the age of eight.[2][3] He was born with a rare birthmark known as a congenital meanocytic nevus, which was removed due to fears it could turn cancerous. By the time he was seventeen, he had undergone nearly fifty surgeries, resulting in scarring around the left side of his face and hairline.[4][3]
Rhodes is an ambassador for the charity Changing Faces, which advocates and supports those with visible differences.[5] He featured prominently in their "I Am More Than Just Your Villain" campaign.[6]
Career
Rhodes decided to pursue an acting career after being cast as Link Larkin in a school production of Hairspray.[3] After appearing in theatre roles such as Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame,[7][8] he made his screen debut in Why Didn't They Ask Evans?.[3]
After appearing in an episode of House of the Dragon, Rhodes gained attention for his performance in 28 Years Later and, more prominently, its sequel 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. He portrayed Jimmy Jimmy, a sadistic member of a Jimmy Savile-inspired cult.[9]
In 2026, Rhodes guest-starred in an episode of Silent Witness,[10] and is part of the cast for the upcoming series The Rapture,[11] which is expected to air the same year.
