Jewish??? I thought he was Mormon.

I think the Mormon thing was a web rumour. He's Jewish.Vulturell 20:41, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Web rumor, eh? Could've fooled me. But hey, Gordon Jump (Ed Malone on the show) was a Mormon. Then again, Kirk Cameron became born-again, just like BJ Thomas. That makes 2 born-again Christians working on the same show!

I saw a mention of him being a "ward" of some guy named Steve Gardner (who was a Mormon). I don't know exactly what "being a ward" means. Anyway, Miller's own parents were Jewish.Vulturell 23:40, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Dick Grayson was Bruce Wayne's ward. I think it means "somebody who you follow" or something. It could be the same as a protoge. I'm not sure.

Hmmm... that's what I thought. Maybe his parents died and he became a ward of this Gardner guy, so he was Mormon-by-osmosis but Jewish by birth. Vulturell 04:40, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

That explains it. Well, why don't you ask the guy for yourself? I don't know his e-mail. 71.111.216.239 17:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Let me clear this up. Jeremy James Miller ( born Oct. 21 1976 ) Is NOT Jewish. He was raised Mormon by his mother, who married her second husband ( a Jewish man ) in 1987, followed by another divorce 10 years later. Both his natural parents are alive and well, Mother lives in California, Father lives in Alaska.

"Jeremy Miller, Ben on "Growing Pains," used to be in the ward of former Daily Herald reporter Steve Gardner." A ward is a Mormon congregation. newsnet.byu.edu/story.cfm/12627 Benporter 3 October 2006

[edit] Jeremy Miller: Mormon or Jew - Great Actor!!

His religion does not matter. BTW, just because his parents are Jewish does not make him Jewish. Judaism is a faith, a religion... not an ethnicity or nationality. He is whatever religion he chooses to be, and it's irrelevent anyway to discussing his schooling and/or career choices, whether or not he lives in China and speaks Chinese, is still making movies in China and if he is going to become a chef or not. He was a great child actor and is one of the hottest guys I've ever seen. And let's remember we're all just people, no one better than anyone else. If he's Jewish or Mormon or an atheist, kudos to him and I wish him the best of luck in all his endeavors. 209.247.22.30 20:31, 2 May 2007 (UTC)Christycatnip
