Jeremy Howard

Jeremy Howard has been acting since the age of six, in a long career that spans television, film and commercials. He is best known for the quirky characters he portrays as well as for his chameleon-like ability to change appearance from role to role. His latest role as "Donatello," the genius turtle, in the highly successful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, produced by Michael Bay, has made him a fan favorite.

Howard appeared in seasons 1 and 2 of Disney's Mighty Med in which he plays the alien visitor "Philip," a character whose massively large head leads to endless comic relief for young audiences. Viewers should look for Howard in episodes of the Disney Channel's hit, K.C. Undercover, in which he plays "Bob McCoy," a wrongfully accused art thief aided by super sleuth K.C., portrayed by the beautiful and talented Zendaya.

In 2011 Howard took a memorably dramatic turn on Sony's hit crime drama, Breaking Bad, playing Aaron Paul's druggy motor-mouth friend in back to back episodes. In addition, his resume boasts guest starring roles on some of television's top programs including Grey's Anatomy, Entourage, Suburgatory, House, Monk, My Name is Earl, Scrubs, Malcolm in the Middle, and on The Drew Carey Show, playing Ryan Stiles' son.

Along with 50-plus commercials under his belt, Howard has amassed an impressive list of movie credits in his young life. Holiday cheer mongers may recognize him as "Dru Lou Who" in Ron Howard's How the Grinch Stole Christmas, while sci-fi fans recall a young Howard playing "Kyle" in his first major motion picture, Galaxy Quest, helping Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver return to earth.

Starring alongside Amanda Bynes in the 2007 film Sydney White, Howard played "Terrence," an eighth year college hangout who refuses to stop learning and eventually sells his ideas for millions of dollars. Jeremy has also developed a cult following for his "Freaky" role in the 2006 film Accepted, starring Jonah Hill and Blake Lively, in which he portrayed a shy loner who learns how to blow things up with his mind.

Howard also appeared in supporting roles in Barry Sonnenfeld's Men in Black 2 and in Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can. With the aid of makeup effects, Howard played four characters in Disney's The Haunted Mansion, starring Eddie Murphy, including one of the iconic hitchhiking ghosts from the Disney ride. Kids will also recognize Howard in the 2009 DreamWorks' film Hotel for Dogs, bookending the film's opening and finale as the snarky "Hot Dog Man."
