Jeremy Jackson, who plays the role of David Hasselhoff's son, Hobie, on the series "Baywatch," is rapidly becoming one of television's hottest young stars. A bright and energetic native of Southern California, Jeremy remains refreshingly unaffected by his increasing popularity and enjoys a healthy mix of sports and hobbies with his family and long-time friends.While Jeremy's fan mail from U.S. viewers of the highly rated program is voluminous, the youngster is also a superstar overseas. Last year, at the age of 13, Jeremy recorded his first album for David Hasselhoff's record label, Hassechits. The album's single, "You Can Run" hit #4 in Holland. Jeremy is currently producing an album which will be released in the United States later this year.
During his recent hiatus, he toured in Europe, where he played to sold-out crowds across the continent. Last year, Jeremy opened for Hasselhoff's concerts in four major cities. Also, in 1992 on a trip to England where "Baywatch" is one of the biggest hits in T.V. history, Jeremy was literally mobbed by adoring teen fans clamoring for his autograph while en route to pick up a coveted SOS award as Best Newcomer, England's equivalent of the People's Choice Award.
Working on "Baywatch" is a dream-come-true for Jeremy, who resides just a few blocks from the ocean. He's a strong swimmer and enjoys surfing, roller-hockey, singing and dancing.
Jeremy has been acting since age seven. His first paying job was in a television commercial for Mattel which was followed by a seven-episode run on the daytime drama "Santa Barbara." He also starred in the film "The Bulkin Trail," with David Hasselhoff for the Family Channel and guest starred on Ed Asner's television series, "Thunder Alley."
He insists that his friends could care less about his fame but notes that they do introduce him to strangers as "our buddy from 'Baywatch'..." Jeremy's biggest fan is his younger sister, Taylor.
