Career[]
Rendall started acting at the age of ten, when he asked his parents if he could try his hand at acting. Fortunately, around the same time, the Cameron Maclntosh London touring production of the musical "Oliver" was holding auditions for children. Having had no formal training in either acting or singing, he surprised everyone when he was cast in the role of Spider, and as understudy to the lead role, Oliver.
He later starred in several films, including The Impossible Elephant, Tales from the Neverending Story (for which he received a 2002 Gemini nomination), the multi-award-winning Touching Wild Horses opposite Jane Seymour (for which he received a 2003 Young Artists Award nomination), Disney's The Scream Team with Eric Idle, the Court TV Peabody Award-winning true story, The Interrogation of Michael Crowe (for which he received a 2004 ACTRA Award nomination for Outstanding Performance - Male), Don McKellar's dark comedy Childstar, opposite Jennifer Jason Leigh, Eric Stoltz and Dave Foley; the title role in Spirit Bear: The Simon Jackson Story with Ed Begley, Jr. and Graham Greene, NBC's mini-series Revelations opposite Bill Pullman and Natascha MacElhone, and Francois Girard's Silk.

After Justin Bradley ended voicing Arthur, Rendall took his place for three seasons. He also dubbed over Bradley's voice for reruns of Season 6 due to Bradley's voice being too deep and lacking the vocal range of Michael Yarmush the original Arthur voice
In 2003, he voiced Noodle in the children's show The Save-Ums.
In 2005, he voiced the 14-year-old Jester character of the New Zealand CGI animated show Jane and the Dragon. He has also provided voices for other animated shows, for example King, Time Warp Trio, and Wayside.
