Jeremy Sheffield (born March 17 1966) is an English actor.

Sheffield trained as a ballet dancer with the Royal Ballet at Covent Garden before becoming an actor. He appeared as a dancer in Queen's music video for "I Want to Break Free". His ballet career was ended at the age of 27 by a broken toe and torn ligament. However he had a much more prominent (non dancing) music video role years later where he played the male lead opposite Natalie Imbruglia in the video for "Torn", where he plays the guy who tries to approach to her but he gets separated from her for different reasons, this music video also gave him a little more exposure to the public eye.

He starred in the 2005 movie "The Wedding Date" alongside Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney. Sheffield recently had a cameo appearance in the final episode of "Green Wing", playing a character Sue White (Michelle Gomez) was dating.

In 2005 he appeared in the British and Irish Renault Clio advert "France vs. Britain" directed by Ridley Scott’s daughter Jordan Scott who also the directed the 2007 follow up spot "More Va Va Voom" again starring Sheffield as Ben and French actress Annelise Hesme as Sophie. He regularly features on the BBC's "Holiday" programme in which he has visited Mexico, Egypt, Sichuan, South Africa and Bermuda. In 2006 travelled to South Africa where eight celebrities competed to become rangers in a South African Reserve, for the 2007 series of BBC2's "Safari School". In the final, Sheffield came second to singing coach Carrie Grant.
