Ronald Jeremy Hyatt (born March 12, 1953), usually called Ron Jeremy, is an American pornographic actor. Nicknamed "The Hedgehog",[1] he was ranked by AVN at number one in their "100 Top Porn Stars of All Time" list.[3] Jeremy has also appeared in non-pornographic films, with studios such as Troma Entertainment, Boondock Saints and Studio 54.[4]
He is well known for his large circumcised penis – claimed by him to be 9.75 inches[5] – and he has gained some notoriety for being capable of autofellatio (which he first demonstrated on-screen in Inside Seka), though he stated in a 2003 interview that due to his weight gain, all he can do nowadays is kiss the tip of his penis.[6]

Ronald Hyatt was born in Queens, New York[2] to an upper middle-class Jewish family;[7] his father, Arnold, was a physicist and his mother a book editor[8] who served in the O.S.S. during World War II as she spoke fluent German and French.[9] He had an uncle who was a gangster with ties to Bugsy Siegel.[10]
Jeremy attended Cardozo High School in Bayside, Queens, where former CIA director George Tenet and actor Reginald VelJohnson were classmates.[11][12] He earned a bachelor's degree in education and theatre and a master's degree in special education from Queens College in New York.[13] While at Queens College, Jeremy was a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity.[13] He taught special-education classes in the New York City area, and was a substitute teacher for regular classes.
He began appearing in pornographic films in 1979 (though he had one previous role in a non-pornographic sex comedy in 1977).

Jeremy left the teaching profession (he called it his "ace in the hole") to pursue an acting career in New York City, and says he learned what it was like to make no money as an actor who "starved Off-Broadway".Jeremy posed for Playgirl after his then-girlfriend submitted his photo to the magazine,and subsequently moved into the adult film industry as a means to support himself.

His first appearance in a porn film was in Snap (later renamed COD), by Chuck Vincent.He started using his first and middle name professionally in the adult industry, after his grandmother Rose was pestered by people calling her thinking they were contacting him."His grandma Rose — listed at that time as R. Hyatt in the phone book — was pestered at all hours by prospective suitors who’d seen Jeremy in Playgirl. 'She had to move out of her apartment for a month,' he confides. 'My father told me, "If you want to get into this naked, crazy business, so be it, but if you use the family name again, I’ll kill you."’"
Jeremy had his nickname "The Hedgehog" bestowed upon him by Bill Margold after an incident on the set of Olympic Fever, shot in 1979.Jeremy had flown in from New York to shoot the movie, and had dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, expecting warm weather. During his motorcycle ride to the set, located near Lake Arrowhead in the California mountains, the weather had deteriorated to blizzard conditions, which chilled him to the point of hypothermia. Upon arriving at the set, Jeremy was immediately whisked away to warm up in a hot shower. When he had finished, his skin had taken on a pink hue from the temperature extremes, and the hairs on his body were standing on end. Margold's comment upon seeing Jeremy after the shower was, "You are a hedgehog, my friend. A walking, talking hedgehog".Contrary to popular belief, the nickname had nothing to do with Jeremy's (subsequent) weight gain, as he was quite physically fit at the time.

Jeremy is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for "Most Appearances in Adult Films";his entry on the Internet Adult Film Database lists more than 1,900 films in which he has performed, and an additional 275 films which he directed.By way of comparison, John Holmes — the next highest-ranked male star on the AVN Top 50 porn stars— has only 384 acting credits listed on the IAFD.
One joke that made the rounds within the industry at the time was "the kinkier acts some actresses would not perform were bestiality, sado-masochism and sex with Jeremy".However, he has since been recognized for his contributions to the adult industry by being inducted into both the AVN and XRCO Hall of Fame. Additionally, Jeremy's work earned him a spot on the Adult Star Path of Fame located in Edison, New Jersey. He saw a resurgence in popularity in the new millennium, as his star power combined with a desire from many actresses to work with men not aided by drugs like Viagra.
