The [wiki](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_(song)#Music_video) refers to an actor named Trevor Wilson for the official video of the song.

I haven’t found anything more about him yet.

Thanks. That’s all I’ve been able to find, as well. I was hoping to find out what became of him, his thoughts on the video, etc. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

Thanks for the move. I just assumed it was GQ, since there’s a factual answer out there somewhere. Still learning!

There is a factual answer. It’s just that questions about cooking, movies, songs, the Arts, etc. tend to do better in Cafe Society.

Hell, you can even get factual answers in IMHO. Sometimes. 🙂
