Jeremy Jackson was born in Anaheim, California. He and his little sister Taylor was raised by their mother Jolanna who is a single parent. Jeremy had a learning problem with an eye disorder called dyslexia, but it was caught very early and was quickly addressed. While in first grade, he saw words backward and that was the way he wrote them. No one could understand what he wrote unless they held his documents up to a mirror. While most children would get frustrated and lose a lot of confidence, Jeremy didn't seem bothered by the condition. He simply turned it into a positive. He has worked hard in summer school and now writes normally. Exceptionally bright, he was like a sponge, learning and memorizing fast. Reading and memorizing lines on 'Baywatch' has helped Jeremy with the disorder.

Jeremy was one of those luminous, active children who seemed to be born for show business. He loved dressing up in different getups and putting on little shows in front of his family and friends, doing impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. Jeremy would do this to command attention. Many of his Mother's friends would tell her that he was extremely talented and should submit his photo to a talent agent. Realizing that they were right and couldn't deny her son's talent, she asked him if he wanted to be on television. His 'yes' was immediate and Jolanna was soon getting an agent when he was six years old. Sent out on auditions, Jeremy landed his first commercial after his third try. His first assignment at age 7 was a commercial for Mattel cars.

He went on to do other commercials and had a seven-episode run on the daytime soap 'Santa Barbara.' His TV credits for guest appearances include 'Totally Hidden Video,' 'The Wonder Years,' and 'Thunder Alley.' Feature film credits include 'Shout' (with John Travolta), and 'The Balkin Trail' (with David Hasselhoff and Sally Kirkland).

Jeremy was then sent on to audition for 'Baywatch.' He was up against and beat out many other little actors that wanted the role of Hobie Buchannon. He had to audition more than once to get the role. After Jeremy's third audition for the role, David Hasselhoff pointed him out as 'this is the kid' he wanted. He was animated, cute and adorable. He seemed suited for the part as Jeremy had noted that he was a lot like Hobie Buchannon. He was 10 years old when he started on the show, 'Baywatch's' second season. He has seen many of the show's stars come and go and has been close with many. Joining the cast, Jeremy did not have to attend regular school since fourth grade. He had a private tutor, and did his schoolwork there on the beach. He did surfing for gym class.

David Hasselhoff has been like a Father figure. They have a very close bond and hang out together. Hasselhoff has also helped Jeremy with his acting and rehearsed scripts with him in his trailer. Since Jeremy memorized fast, he would go over any given script twice and would know it. He also had the big brother images in the actors that have been on the show as Billy Warlock, Kelly Slater, David Charvet and David Chokachi. He was very close to Kelly Slater. Kelly took him surfing on Huntington Beach. Kelly taught Jeremy how to surf very well in the beginning before he had to leave for surfing competitions. Jeremy was also close to Pamela Lee and her brother Gerry (he was around a lot during the filming of the show) and Alexandra Paul.

In 1992, he has traveled to England getting past crowds of screaming teenaged girls wanting an autograph, to accept the coveted SOS award (like the 'People's Choice Award') for 'Best Newcomer.' His Mother Jolanna has done a wonderful job in keeping Jeremy from getting over-exposed and for the fact that he leads a normal life. He remains unaffected by his popularity.

While Jeremy is a star in the United States complete with overwhelming fan mail, he is a pop star in Europe as well. He has been a recording artist since 12, and has recorded his first album for David Hasselhoff's record label 'Hasselhits' at 13. A single 'You Can Run' (can also be seen in the episode 'Livin' on the Fault Line,' Part 1/5th season 1993-1994) from the album was #4 in Holland, followed by his second top ten hit single, 'French Kiss.' He has toured Europe, where he has played for sold out crowds across the continent. Jeremy opened for Hasselhoff's concerts in four major cities. His 1997 video 'You Really Got It Going On' shows off his excellent dance ability.

Jeremy serves as a Junior Lifeguard and is active in his community church in Newport Beach. He is an avid swimmer and is a strong supporter of teen fitness. Jeremy works out three times a week. Jeremy is studying for his Black Belt in Martial Arts.

Jeremy has made an appearance in the star studded 1997 'KTLA Christmas Parade' (December 1st). He has also appeared on the 1997 November/December cover of 'Porthole' magazine with other cast mates (Hasselhoff, Nolin, Chokachi, D'Errico and Electra) with an article emphasizing on the big two part-wedding episode set in Alaska.

Jeremy plans to finish High School and go to College. He also plans to continue his career as an entertainer, acting in the US while singing and touring in Europe. The 'Baywatch' schedule seems perfect for this plan as the show starts shooting mostly during the Summer months and usually finishes in October.
