Jeremy James Miller (born October 21, 1976 in West Covina, California to David Miller and Sonja Morckel) is an American actor best known for his portrayal of Ben Seaver on Growing Pains and its two reunion movies.
Miller is also known as an advocate of pit bull terriers and is a skydiving aficionado.
He attended USC for an unknown major but dropped out after first year, later citing attention deficit disorder.
He has by-and-large left acting although his fans will be able to see him in the movie Milk and Fashion which Miller was filming in China during October 2005. He is currently in culinary school with aspirations to one day having his own restaurant.
Over the course of a year, Miller has been an active part of the web forum community Dustin Diamond Love. He enjoys making contact with his fans, and is usually free to talk on any subject.
As an actor, probably his most recognizable trademark is the "Ben Seaver Scream", which can be seen in any number Growing Pains episodes, or during the closing credits of the movie Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star.
