Actor Jonathan Mellor made his film debut in 2009 with a supporting role in the Spanish romantic comedy "Fuga de Cerebros." Yet it is for his second film role, which premiered a few months later, that he is best known. In the Spanish zombie horror feature "[Rec] 2," Mellor stars as Dr. Owen, a Ministry of Health official and faithful Catholic priest who bravely enters a quarantined zone where the residents have been infected with a grisly virus that transforms them into mindless, flesh-eating cannibals. In search of a cure and with cameras mounted on their helmets, he and his team traverse the cavernous and carnage-strewn building to capture blood samples from these dangerous ghouls. Thanks in part to the worldwide success of its predecessor, "[Rec]," this found-footage thriller was also a rousing success with critics and genre fans across the globe. This prompted producers to create a third film for the burgeoning "[Rec]" franchise, but Mellor did not return for the next installment in the series. Instead, Mellor explored writing by penning a pair of dramatic short films, "The Story of David Leonard Sutton" and "Mr Average." Shortly thereafter, he snagged his next feature-length film role in writer-director Maria Matteoli's debut feature "The Wine of Summer," an American-produced drama about an irritable actor's life-changing trip to Spain.
