Life and career
Shada began acting at the age of seven, soon after moving to Los Angeles with his family. He was inspired to act by his older brother, actor Zack Shada.{{cite web |title=The Animated Adolescence Of Adventure Time‘s Jeremy Shada |url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/tv/animated/the-animated-adolescence-of-adventure-times-jeremy |website=www.pastemagazine.com}}
Shada initially appeared in commercials. Later on, he began auditioning for voice acting and theatrical performances, taking advice from a voice-over agent. His first live-action theatrical role was as Young Kurt Diamond in No Rules.{{cite web|title=The Mutant Season: Jeremy Shada of Adventure Time|url=http://www.nerdist.com/2012/05/the-mutant-season-29-jeremy-shada-of-adventure-time/|publisher=Nerdist.com|access-date=June 4, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004233957/http://www.nerdist.com/2012/05/the-mutant-season-29-jeremy-shada-of-adventure-time/|archive-date=October 4, 2013|url-status=dead}} He has since appeared in additional live-action and voice acting roles, such as playing young Charlie Pace in childhood flashbacks on Lost.{{cite web|last=Covel|first=Bonnie|title=Greatest Hits, Episode 5/16/07 Preview|url=http://lost.about.com/od/previewsandspoilers/a/3x21pre.htm|publisher=About.com|access-date=June 4, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130514061218/http://lost.about.com/od/previewsandspoilers/a/3x21pre.htm|archive-date=May 14, 2013}}
In 2009, Jeremy Shada's agent approached him with the idea of auditioning for the role of Finn in Adventure Time; his brother Zack had been the original voice of Finn (originally named Penn) in the pilot episode of Adventure Time three years prior. After viewing the pilot on YouTube, Shada matched his voice with the voice of his brother in auditions with Adventure Time creator Pendleton Ward and the show's producers, which earned him the role.{{cite web|last=Clark|first=Noelene|title='Adventure Time': Finn actor Jeremy Shada is 'constantly surprised'|url=http://herocomplex.latimes.com/tv/adventure-time-finn-actor-jeremy-shada-is-constantly-surprised/#/0|work=The Express Tribune|access-date=June 4, 2013}}
In 2012, Shada joined the cast of Nick Cannon's sketch-comedy series, Incredible Crew.{{cite web|last=Luoma|first=Sarah|title=Production Begins On Nick Cannon's 'Incredible Crew'|url=http://www.tvequals.com/2012/06/18/production-begins-on-nick-cannons-incredible-crew/|work=TV Equals|publisher=Daemons Media Inc.|access-date=June 4, 2013|archive-date=June 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200611021701/https://www.tvequals.com/2012/06/18/production-begins-on-nick-cannons-incredible-crew/|url-status=dead}} In June 2012, to promote Incredible Crew's 2013 premiere, Cartoon Network released a music rap video titled "Running Errands with My Mom" which features Shada performing and rapping the lyrics. The video has since generated over one million views.{{cite web|last=Hall|first=Tamron|title=Teen's errands with mom creates online buzz|url=http://www.today.com/video/today/50068192#50068192|work=Today Show|publisher=NBC Universal|access-date=June 4, 2013}}
