Anecdotes

Is a millionaire but is well known around Hollywood to be extremely frugal with his money. According to the documentary, Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy (2001), he allegedly hates spending his own money on anything, even going so far as using garbage bags as luggage when he travels.

He holds a master's degree in Special Education.

According to Jeremy in an interview with "Time Out New York" magazine, in order not to upset nor alert executives at Disney, Jeremy's role as Blisterface in the children's series Bone Chillers (1996) was kept secret. Producers disguised Jeremy so much that he is unrecognizable, which helped them from alerting pro-family studio executives that a pornstar was on their payroll.

He was a former high school teacher in New York City.

Played small parts in five films for director John Frankenheimer, Paiement cash (1986), Dead Bang (1989), George Wallace (1997), Ronin (1998), and Piège fatal (2000). His part in Ronin (1998) was cut by the studio but he still was credited.

Classmate of former CIA director George Tenet and Reginald VelJohnson at Cardozo High School in Queens. WWE pro wrestler Matthew Kaye (aka Matt Striker) also attended Cardozo High.

Is quite a talented piano player (and pipe organ by extension) -- yet for whatever reason has never pursued a career as a silent film organist or general organist.

On the day he was born, Jeremy's father planted a tree in front of their Bayside, New York home.
