I thought he was a brilliant actor, but so understated both onscreen & off that few people would know his name. He was superb in an Edgar Wallace Mystery film called 'Face Of A Stranger'. He had a battered face & tended to get military roles.
RIP Jeremy.

Jeremy was in Z Cars in its first two years, and it was a big break for him, but he left to further his career. He seemed to appear in loss of other stuff so it must have been the right move for him.
The young actress who played his wife in Z Cars went on to act with Michael Caine in Get Carter.
RIP Jeremy.

Reading his obituary, his role in Z Cars was originally offered to Michael Caine. Quoting from an interview he gave years ago it's said that he hated wearing a police uniform on account of a real life run in he had with them. Something to do with him getting into hot water after reporting an illegal drinking club that turned out to be giving back handers to the police.

I used to live in the town Z Cars was based on and where they did occasional location filming in the early years of the series, and I know for a fact that the real police in that town could be right barstewards as George Carter would say. |
