In 2009, Jonas lent his voice in Hayao Miyazaki's animated film Ponyo, released in American theaters on August 14, 2009. He played Sōsuke, a character who is befriended by a juvenile fish named Ponyo (voiced by Noah Cyrus), who wants to become a human girl. They also both sing the theme song of the movie.
He appeared as a recurring character in the Disney Channel Original Series, Jonas L.A. for which he won the award for "Choice Breakout TV Star Male" at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. His first on-screen movie role was in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, alongside his older brothers The Jonas Brothers as Junior Rocker Trevor.
