Jeremy Michael London (born November 7, 1972) is an American actor.

London was born in San Diego, California to parents Frank London, a construction worker, and Debborah Osborn, a waitress. He was raised mainly in DeSoto, Texas. After divorcing their father, his mother moved the family 13 times in 6 years. His identical twin brother, Jason, is older by 27 minutes and is also an actor. Jeremy has worked mostly in television while Jason has opted for a career in feature films. The two have only acted alongside each other once - in the February 3, 2003 episode of the WB's 7th Heaven, entitled "Smoking". Jeremy London's first audition was for a part in a 1991 film The Man In The Moon, which his brother Jason got, leaving Jeremy the part of his brother's stunt double. Jason also stepped in for Jeremy for the final episode of I'll Fly Away.

He is also well known for playing T.S. Quint in Kevin Smith's second film Mallrats. He is also notable for never having appeared in another Smith movie, which is unusual for an actor who plays a main character in a Kevin Smith movie. When asked about this, Smith replied that he "just never had another use for him." [1] The two reunited for the movie's 10th Anniversary Q&A.

Jeremy London became a household name playing the part of Griffin in the successful television series Party Of Five. He also played a young minister named Chandler Hampton on 7th Heaven from 2002 to 2004. His 7th Heaven character had a father with lung cancer, much like Jeremy's real-life family members. He has since been in many TV serials, TV movies and feature films.

London's younger sister Deidre was killed in a car accident in 1992, leaving behind a baby son. Following the loss of family members to cancer of the lungs, he directed a documentary about the hazards of smoking. He was arrested in the spring of 2004 for allegedly driving with a suspended license and for carrying controlled substances.

He currently resides in Los Angeles, California and is married to Melissa Cunningham.
