小飞侠杰里米·森普特

生日：1989年2月5日

代表作：《上帝之手》、《本地男孩》、《只是个梦》、《彼得·潘》

虽然杰里米·森普特只有15岁，但是他1.85米的身高和深邃迷人的目光使他成为无数女孩子心目中的白马王子。森普特的童星之路走得颇为顺利，5岁时，他就和他的双胞胎妹妹一起出演了电视剧《急诊室的故事》，6岁时成为家乡肯塔基州入选“全国表演天才计划”中年纪最小的孩子。不到10岁的森普特还曾获得全国年度最佳儿童模特奖。被星探发掘后，森普特开始在《上帝之手》中崭露头角。

杰里米·森普特更是击败全球近千名竞争对手，成为影史上首位真人版“小飞侠”彼得·潘的扮演者。导演霍根认为，森普特最能够表现出“彼得·潘”正义却又不失小孩特有稚气的气质。而在拍摄《彼得·潘》期间，森普特更是猛长了十几厘米，于是导演为了让“小飞侠”飞行时不至于创伤脑袋，不得不把事先搭好的道具窗子高度增加了3倍。

Jeremy Robert Myron Sumpter (born February 5, 1989) is an American actor. He is perhaps best known for playing the title role in the 2003 film version of Peter Pan.

Biography

Early life

Sumpter was born in Monterey, California to Gary Sumpter and Sandra Johnson. His siblings, twin Jessica and younger sister Jennifer (b. 1990), are also actresses. He was raised in the small town of Mount Sterling, Kentucky, until he was eleven, before moving to Lexington, Kentucky, where he modeled and won IMTA's Pre-Teen Male Model of the Year award in 2000. Soon afterward, he and his family moved to Los Angeles, where he currently resides.

Career

Sumpter as Peter Pan.In July 2002, Sumpter, then thirteen years old, was selected for the role of Peter Pan, breaking the long-standing tradition of young women playing the part in stage and live-action film adaptations of the story. During filming (fall of 2002), he grew eight inches (from 5 ft 0 in to 5 ft 8 in), requiring some filming and staging tricks to conceal his height in scenes filmed late in production. Sumpter did nearly all of his stunts for Peter Pan himself. To prepare, he says he practiced sword fighting as much as five hours a day, as well as training in gymnastics and lifting weights. While filming in Australia, he supplemented his training with cricket and surfing. The $140 million-budgeted film opened in December of 2003, but did poorly, possibly due to reports of its more "adult" treatment of the J. M. Barrie story and competition at the box office from the highly-anticipated The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

Nevertheless, the positive exposure led to a lead role in Clubhouse, a short-lived TV series about a teenager's love of baseball, co-starring Dean Cain. Following Clubhouse, Sumpter won the lead role in the Lifetime TV film Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life, playing a high school swimming champion who develops an addiction to internet pornography.

Sumpter spent the summer of 2005 in Oregon filming the comedy The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang, which will be theatrically released in 2007. Sumpter just finished filming the independent film An American Crime, where he portrays Coy Hubbard.

Personal life

Sumpter, who is homeschooled, enjoys surfing, as well as basketball, football, baseball, snowboarding, tennis, soccer, hiking, swimming, rollerblading, and golf. He has been cast in numerous athletic roles, including Local Boys (surfing), Peter Pan (sword fighting), Clubhouse (baseball), Cyber Seduction (swimming). In October 2005, Sumpter competed in his first celebrity golf tournament: the Eddie Money Golf Tournament in Northern California. His team placed 3rd out of 24 teams.
