Jeremy Theobald

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeremy Theobald is a British actor best known for his portrayal of Bill (credited as 'The Young Man'^[1]), the main character in Christopher Nolan's major picture debut, Following (1998). Following, for which Jeremy was also a producer ^[2]^[3]^[4], was filmed around their day jobs^[5] . Jonathan Ross writing in the New Statesman noted that "Nolan and his cast are terrific finds: I wouldn't normally say this to struggling artists, but they might want to give up their day jobs".^[6] Jeremy also appeared in Larceny, a short film shot by Nolan while in the UCLU Film Society^[7] and Doodlebug^[8], another short film by Nolan. Nolan went on to direct Memento, the Hollywood version of Insomnia, and Batman Begins, in which Jeremy had a small part as the 'younger Gotham water board technician'^[9]^[10]. As with many British actors, he also has had a part in an episode of ITV's The Bill.^[11]

Jeremy has a degree in Physiology from UCL^[12], and was a Managing Editor of the Journal of Pathology^[13]^[14] with the publisher Wiley^[15]. He is now Executive Editor of the Forum for Global Health Protection^[16], a not-for-profit company sponsored by the Health Protection Agency. Jeremy has an interest in publication ethics^[17] and he is currently the Treasurer of the Committee on Publication Ethics^[18], a London-based organisation of biomedical journals.
