Jeremy grew up on the mean streets of Princeton, New Jersey, attended Princeton Day School, Princeton University and at one point even worked for The Princeton Review. (The password is...Princeton.) The son of an Englishman, he took advantage of his dual citizenship by immersing himself in theater both at home and in London. His love of Shakespeare culminated in a senior thesis entitled “The Dilemma of the Shakespearean Fool” that compelled his college adviser to rave: “Well...it’s not nothing.” Not surprisingly, he left academia and moved to Manhattan where he continued to act as well perform Stand-up comedy at The Comic Strip.
He later attended the American Repertory Theatre Institute for Advanced Theatre Training at Harvard University (noted for its succinct title) where he completed the graduate acting program in only 2 years! (Actually, it was only a 2-year program.)
Splitting his time between regional theater and New York theater, he appeared in the NY Fringe Festival and the Off-Broadway workshop of Debbie Does Dallas, where he honed his pornographic acting to a fine point. In 2001, Jeremy was fortunate enough to play the world-famous Barbican theater in London as part of the national and European tour of Julie Taymor’s The King Stag.
In 2005, Jeremy moved to Los Angeles where he’s since appeared on Weeds, Southland, Off The Map and recurred as Ron the ER Resident on Grey’s Anatomy. He worked alongside Kyle Gass of Tenacious D and Jack Blades of Night Ranger in the Los Angeles and Las Vegas productions of Broadway’s Rock of Ages, performed sketch comedy on the Discovery Channel with OddSquad, co-wrote the group’s award-winning feature-length comedy, Let Others Suffer, and worked with Tony-nominated Kristin Hanggi on an original musical she’s developing called Touched. He has regularly appeared on stage with A Noise Within for four seasons, where he was most recently seen as Sir Andrew Aguecheek in Twelfth Night.
Jeremy lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Nova.
