Jerry Michael Supiran (born March 21, 1973 in Arcadia, California) is an American child actor of the 1980s credited with roles close to twenty television and movie performances between the years of 1980 and 1989. He is perhaps best known for playing Jamie Lawson on the situation comedy Small Wonder which aired from 1985 to 1989. Since the show's cancellation, Supiran has not appeared in radio, film or television.
There was an urban legend that Jerry became the leader singer of The Smashing Pumpkins since he resembled Billy Corgan but as a kid. However, this rumor has been proven false considering the age difference between Corgan and Supiran. Corgan was 18 years old during the series premiere of Small Wonder, which would make him too old to play the part of a preteen.[citation needed]
In 2004 reports of his death were confused with the death of his brother Anthony "Tony" Supiran who died that year at the age of 33.[citation needed]
