Film credits include Davey Beck in PLAYING FOR KEEPS (Miramax Films), Janos in THE DUELING ACCOUNTANT, (Bishai Bros. Productions) and most recently, he co-starred with Francois Arnaud in the feature thriller RAPID EYE MOVEMENT (Tentmaker pictures). Equally comfortable in a doublet or detective's suit; other roles range from La Fleche, in Molière's THE MISER, to the recurring role of Sergeant Hopper in TV's LAW AND ORDER. Musically, he toured with Cathy Rigby and John Schuck in PETER PAN. Additional national tours include GREASE, and ROMANCE ROMANCE, as well as various musical reviews. Rhodes' full length play CONSENT was produced at The Roundabout Theatre in New York, where he was privileged to serve as both playwright and director. His solo show RITES OF PRIVACY enjoyed successful extended runs in both New York and London. Three other plays THE ROAD TO SKYE, BETTER OR WORSE and EINE KLEINE NACHT are currently in development.
