Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationJeremy Meeks has unintentionally become a force within the modeling, acting, and fashion industries. Deriving from a past filled with humble beginnings and obstacles, Jeremy's life experiences faced while growing up in Stockton, California have shaped him into the intriguing individual he is today. As a force within the entertainment industry, Jeremy is most proud of the fact that he has used his platform to become what many never thought to be possible, a successful, multi-platform brand. From rearing his children, acting full time, modeling designer pieces down runways, posing for magazine covers, acting as the face of campaigns, and now using his life experiences to advocate for change in others' lives, Jeremy has developed himself into a cross-platform powerhouse full of hope and future developments to be on the lookout for. Always wanting to better himself, Jeremy showcased his true resilience and determination when he then booked six projects in 14 months. With a riveting on-screen performance in the thriller, Trigger, and co-starring in True to the Game 2 and Dutch, he is poised for Hollywood acclaim. More releases include his ground-breaking performances in Secret Society and the sequel Secret Society 2. As the consummate professional, Jeremy continues to sharpen and perfect his craft, expanding his horizons to play roles outside of his typecast characters.
