About Me!
Jeremiah Ripley is a Los Angeles based Actor, Writer & Director. He was born and raised in the Appalachian mountain town of Wheeling, West Virginia. He is a proud gay man and a person of Intersex experience. He likes to refer to himself as a "Queer Hillbilly Storyteller". He got his start doing stand-up comedy and writing, directing, and starring in plays in his Nunnie's living room (Nunnie - what he calls his Grandma). He blends his hillbilly upbringing, queerness, and dry sense of humor to every project he works on.
He is inspired by other queer storytellers like actor and writer Dan Levy (Schitt's Creek), actor Ben Whishaw (A Very English Scandal), actor and comedian Billy Eichner (Difficult People), and his idol actress and legend Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie).
Jeremiah received his MFA in Acting from California State University, Los Angeles and his BA in Theatre from Fairmont State University. He has spent the majority of his life in the Theatre world, and is excited to transition into the world of Film and Television.
He is currently filming a web-series he co-created and stars in called JERRY, about a queer man navigating the nervous breakdown he is having the week leading up to his 30th birthday. Check out the teaser for JERRY below!
