Birth Name:
Jeremy Robert Myron Sumpter
Jeremy was born in northern California but grew up in a small town in Kentucky where his family had moved when he was very young. When he was eleven, Jeremy entered a talent competition, winning numerous awards. He signed with a personal manager and moved to Los Angeles in 2000. After a few months in Los Angeles and a few auditions, Jeremy booked the role of "Young Adam Meiks" in "Frailty," a feature film directed by Bill Paxton. "Bill had been one of my favorite actors so to be able to work with him was unbelievable," says Jeremy. The adult "Adam Meiks" was played by Matthew McConaughey. … More />
Next, Jeremy was chosen by Danny Glover to play Henry Sturbuck in the Showtime original film Just A Dream. "Working with Danny was great, we had a great time filming in a small town in Utah," explains Jeremy. Jeremy received the "Best Performance in a TV Movie, Mini-Series or Special - Leading Young Actor" from the Young Artist Awards.

Jeremy was able to use his surfing skills on his next film, "Local Boys." This coming of age film was shot on location in southern California. "This was a hard film to shoot since we were surfing at the beach almost everyday and there were all these girls around in bikinis," jokes Jeremy.

After a worldwide search, Jeremy was chosen to play "Peter" in the P.J. Hogan version of Peter Pan. This was one of the most coveted roles in films for a teen actor in recent years. "It was a part that I really wanted," says Jeremy, "since I'd be able to fight pirates and fly around the stage on wires." Jeremy trained extensively in sword fighting and gymnastics prior to shooting the movie in Australia.

Clubhouse is Jeremy's first television series. "It's really a dream role" says the fifteen year old, "I've always loved baseball and played little league when I was younger. I really wasn't going to do television, but I thought this project was special and it also came about in a funny way. I was in Tokyo doing some promotional work for Peter Pan when my manager and mother read the script for Clubhouse. They said I should take a look at it so I read it on the way back on the plane. I thought the script was great and that "Pete" was me. There was also a lot of old friends working on it. The Executive Producer had written Just A Dream, the director had been the director on a pilot I did several years ago," explains Jeremy.

Jeremy is always looking to play a wide variety of characters and is reading feature film scripts for his hiatus next year. In the future, Jeremy hopes to also work behind the camera as a director. In his spare time he surfs, plays basketball, golf and shoots pool.

    He is a pretty talented boy. hide show

    I really liked him on Peter Pan and that is where i first saw him ever. Since then I think I saw him on CSI Miami but I really dont remember the episode. I have seen them all though so i am guessing I saw him. But on Peter Pan, he just seemed like he was made for that part. like he made that part look really good. He is a great actor and some people think he is really hot. I dont think he is overly hot but he is pretty hot. not on a top 10 list but still right up there. Go Jeremy.

    he's a talented actor and possibly the sexiest boy alive. hide show

    Jeremy Sumpter is so beautiful everytime I see him I can't help but cry knowing that someone that beautiful can actually exist. Luckily he's not all looks he's also really talent Peter Pan is my favorite movie ever. I think he did a fabulous job on playing the boy who never wanted to grow up. This guy is God of universe King of my world and Owner of my heart. I hope that didn't sound stalkerish or obsessive>.< I watched Clubhouse and I was really sad when it got cancelled. I can't wait to see what he's going to do next.

    Terrific in "Cyber Seduction" hide show

    Jeremy Sumpter did a great job in the Lifetime TV film Cyber Seduction. He is already an expert swimmer (he surfs a lot) so he was a natural to play a swimming champion. I heard Sumpter is home-schooled; it would be interesting to see how he would do in a real-life high swim team.

    Some people thought Cyber Seduction was too heavy-handed with the way it treated online porn. I didn't see that. The strange thing I noticed was that most of the porn he was addicted to featured a girl he actually went to school with and knew personally.

    I hope Cyber Seduction gets released on DVD. I would definitely want to get it.
