Jeremiah Felder is quickly making a name for himself in #younghollywood.
At just 13, the rising actor has appeared in The Residence (2025), Abbott Elementary (2021) and Disney Jr.’s Ariel (2024).
His performance in the Netflix mini series The Residence recently earned him a 2026 NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Youth in a Series, Special, Television Movie or Limited Series — a recognition that places him among a competitive field of young performers.
If you haven’t seen The Residence or even have yet to spot it in your Netflix suggested shows, let us give you a breakdown of the action.
The Residence is a mystery comedy drama series created by Paul William Davies and produced by Shondaland for Netflix.
The mini series draws inspiration from Kate Andersen Brower’s book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House. Set against the backdrop of the executive mansion, the story centers on a fictional murder scandal involving members of the White House staff.
In addition to Jeremiah, The Residence features an ensemble cast that includes:
- Uzo Aduba as Cordelia Cupp, a consultant with the Metropolitan Police Department, and an avid birder
- Giancarlo Esposito as A. B. Wynter, the White House Chief Usher
- Molly Griggs as Lilly Schumacher, the President’s social secretary
- Ken Marino as Harry Hollinger, the President’s chief adviser
- Randall Park as Edwin Park, an FBI Special Agent
- Susan Kelechi Watson as Jasmine Haney, a White House Assistant
- Usher Isiah Whitlock Jr. as Larry Dokes, the Chief of Police at the MPD
Beyond acting, Jeremiah is also a singer and musician who plays the guitar. With multiple projects already under his belt and an award nomination to his name, the young performer continues to expand his presence on screen.
