Jeremie Harris

Jeremie Harris grew up in New Rochelle where he had ambitions to become a basketball player. He gave up on this dream when he "didn’t become 6’6″ and have a 40-inch vertical". He interned at Def Jam Recordings where he earned his living by putting up posters. He was caught by police when he began sniping other posters. He was let go with a warning and quit due to the music industries' "cutthroat business". He decided to try acting while studying business at New York University and came close to earning a role in the movie Sky High. Following some acting roles at NYU, he graduated from NYU and then completed his studies at Juilliard. {{cite web|url=https://www.interviewmagazine.com/culture/discovery-jeremie-harris|title=Discovery: Jeremie Harris|website=Interview Magazine|last=Brown|first=Emma|date=February 14, 2017|accessdate=February 3, 2018}} He has since appeared in major projects such as A Walk Among the Tombstones, Blue Bloods and The Get Down.{{cite web|url=http://www.tvovermind.com/legion/five-things-didnt-know-jeremie-harris|title=Five Things You Didn't Know About Jeremie Harris|website=TV Overmind|last=Hickey|first=Timothy|date=June 8, 2017|accessdate=February 3, 2018}} Jeremie was cast as Ptonomy Wallace in FX's Legion.{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/xs-x-men-drama-legion-867143|title=FX's 'X-Men' Drama 'Legion' Adds to Cast (Exclusive)|website=The Hollywood Reporter|last=Goldberg|first=Lesley|date=February 16, 2016|accessdate=February 3, 2018}}
