Jeremy Dunn, or better known to the world as Jeremy Jackson, lived the life of fame and fortune. He had starred in dozens of ad campaigns, seven episodes on the soap opera Santa Barbara, and a small roll in Shout starring John Travolta. With hard work and determination, he accomplished all of this before his 10th birthday.
In 1990, he landed the role of Hobie on Baywatch where the world saw this boy grow up and ran for almost 10 years. For many, it was that image of a perfect life that is seen on your television screens. Is it what it really appears to be? I have worked with many individuals over the years that were from that world whether they be actors, actresses, or musicians. It taught me many things and most importantly, the ones I worked with were suffering and told me stories that didn’t fit with that view of what we see. Once TMZ or the news catches wind of substance abuse or mental illness, their pain is shared with the world and not in a light of a person who is hurting and needs help. These are real people that are cast aside many times as losers, or weak. They are no different than me with that exception. My pain and suffering remained quiet with a personal journey so it was easier to deal with.
