He started watching British horror films at the age of 8 and has been a fan ever sinse. He is the only non acting member of The League Of Gentlemen but has, however, appeared in all series and the christmas special with brilliant cameo roles. Jeremy did attend a drama society but didn't like the "crawling around the floor pretending to be dogs" aspect of it all.</div> <div> From the age of thirteen until his mid twenties Jeremy used to be a magician for kids parties. He shares a love of magic with Reece Sheasmith.</div> <div> At school Jeremy was nicknamed 'Inky'. He went on from Grammar school to 'Jacob Kramer College of Art' where Damian Hurst studied in the year above him. Here Jeremy had fun painting with fish on sticks, but mainly studied video and film. He then went on to study Philosophy and The History Of Philosophy at Leeds Univercity and later completed an MA in Screenwriting at the Northern School Of Film And Television. </div> <bR> <div> Jeremy does worry that the acting members of The League Of Gentlemen do impressions of him when he is out of the room. He's seen them do icy-cold impressions of everyone else so why shouldn't they do one of him? Poor Jeremy.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="058fa9d0.gif" border=0 width="250" height="157" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <B><U>Additional Information</U></B></div> <div> "We are the living embodiment of every accusation that was slung at us: 'You'll never make anything of yourself because you sit on your arse watching television all day.' We have succeeded precisely because we did sit and watch television all day."</div> <div> Dyson is the only Gentleman who doesn't perform - "Our stuff is so character-based that it requires good actors, and I'm simply not one. I confine myself to writing, though I do try and get on-screen at every available opportunity" - and he had quite an unremarkable childhood, he says. "I went to Leeds Grammar School, which was a third-rate fee-paying school. It was a very unimaginative place, and I was never encouraged to do anything creative, so I did all that after school. I grew up loving comedy, and discovered Monty Python when I was about seven. I wasn't  supposed to watch it, but I sneaked down and did. I fell in love with the records, I used to play the albums to death, put them on to tape, reproduce sketches and then do my own sketches."</div> <div> Dyson graduated to creating The Goat Book, a school jotter filled with crude cartoons and caricatures, spoof TV programmes and illustrations of the rudeness that passes for the daily thoughts of 13-year-old boys.</div> <bR> <div> <I>-</I><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Arial" ><I>The above from 'The Guardian's interview with TLoG</I></FONT></div> <bR> <div> "I don't lie awake at night worrying that I'm not getting recognised.
