Chris Demetral (born November 14, 1976) is an American former actor best known for playing the character Jeremy Tupper, the son of newly divorced New York book editor Martin Tupper (played by Brian Benben) on the HBO series Dream On and also Jack in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

Early life

Demetral's parents got a divorce when he was 3, and he lived with his father. They moved from Michigan to California in 1984, and he then started auditioning for parts. When Demetral was 10 years old, he answered an open call for The Return of the Living Dead. Demetral recalls that he was too young for the part; but he thought he would "be a good baby zombie or something", instead, he got sent to an agent and got signed that day.[1]
