American actor Jeremy Sumpter began his career as a teenager. Fame and success brought him the role of Peter Pan in the film "Peter Pan", which was released in 2003. To date, the actor's filmography includes more than 25 roles in films and television series.
Jeremy Robert Myron Sumpter was born in the California city of Carmel. His mother's name is Sandy, and his father's is Gary. Jeremy has a maternal half-brother, a twin sister and another full sister. In his hometown, Sumpter lived with his family until about one year of age, then the parents and children moved to the small town of Mount Sterling, which is located in Kentucky. It was here that the early years of the future famous film and television actor passed.
Childhood before filming a movie
In his childhood, Jeremy was very fond of sports. I must say that this passion has remained with him to this day. He did not study professionally, but he played (and plays) football, basketball, baseball with enthusiasm. Jeremy is also a great swimmer, loves cricket and snowboarding.
The boy began to demonstrate his acting talent even in preschool age. However, at that time, parents did not take this seriously, because Jeremy did not receive any acting education as a child. He entered a regular school, but at some point he became interested in the modeling business. The boy was perfect for taking pictures and going to the podium. Thanks to his external data, at the age of 11, Jeremy was able to win one of the modeling contests, and then enroll in the International Studio, which trained models and actors, helping young talents develop their talents. However, Jeremy did not manage to stay in this place for a long time.
A year after signing a contract with the studio, the entire Sumpter family moved to Los Angeles. It was in this California city that the acting career of young Jeremy began.
Creative way
The first film work for Jeremy Sumpter was the role in the movie "The Prophet" (2001). In the same year, the boy got into the cast of the television series "Ambulance", but there was no talk of any leading role here.
In 2002, the young talent took part in the filming of two films and one TV series at once: "Just a Dream", "Local Guys" and "Strong Medicine". For his acting in the first of these films, Jeremy was awarded the title of Best Young Actor.
The first really successful motion picture for an aspiring artist was the tape "Peter Pan", released in 2003. Here Jeremy Sumpter played a central role - he played Pan himself. It is worth noting that the teenager insisted that he would perform all the stunts in the film himself. In view of this, Jeremy trained very hard, learned to wield a sword. At the moment, this adaptation of a children's popular fairy tale is one of the best. For his work on the role of Pan, Jeremy was awarded the 2004 Saturn Award for Best Young Actor.
The next leading role was given to the already demanded young actor in the television film Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life. This film was released in 2005.
In 2007, the young artist appeared in the TV series C. S. I.: Miami Crime Scene and played a small role in the movie American Crime. A year later, Jeremy was cast in the television series Friday Night Lights, which ran until 2010.
Further, Jeremy Sumpter's filmography was replenished with several films, including "You are such Cupid", "Soul Surfer", "Circumcision". In 2012, a new role appeared in the artist's creative biography: he worked on the TV show "Swamps".
In 2014, Jeremy took part in three projects at once. He got roles in such films as "The Animal", "Selection", "Towards the Storm."
The latest projects in cinema and television for the artist today are: the film "Welcome to Purgatory", released in 2017, the television series "Unlawful", the world premiere of the first series took place in early 2019.
