JEREMY
RENNER (Vegas): When the producers of Bravo’s
IT FACTOR chose to focus on Jeremy Renner, they found a worthy
subject. Recently receiving rave reviews for his probing portrayal
of notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in DAHMER, this young
multi-talented actor has amassed credits on stage, screen and
television, and is putting out a CD of his own music. After
THE OUTSIDEMAN, Renner will next be seen in SWAT, Sony’s
big summer movie for 2003, in which Renner co-stars with Samuel
L. Jackson, Colin Farrell, and LL Cool J. In addition to his
star turn in DAHMER, he’s appeared in NATIONAL LAMPOON’S
SENIOR TRIP; PAPER DRAGONS; FISH IN A BARREL, and MONKEY LOVE.
On television, Renner has starred opposite Jennifer Love Hewitt
on Fox’s TIME OF YOUR LIFE; co-starred as a 17th century
vampire in WB’s ANGEL; starred in ZOE, DUNCAN, JACK &
JANE; and has had numerous guest roles in such shows and telefilms
as C.S.I.; THE NET; A NIGHTMARE COME TRUE; and TO HAVE &
TO HOLD, among many others.
Coming from a theatre background, Renner keeps his stage muscles
in shape performing in various theatres in the Los Angeles area.
His most memorable theatrical experience was working in a show
he co-directed and starred in called, SEARCH AND DESTROY, produced
by Barry Levinson, garnering great reviews from Variety, Entertainment
Today, and the LA Weekly. In between his theatrical pursuits,
Renner also finds time to write, record and perform his own
music, soon to be released on his first CD.
