Jackson was born in San Diego, CA in 2003. His debut into acting was at age four, when he played the Grinch in his preschool play. He has always enjoyed performing and public speaking, and his teachers were constantly encouraging him to get into acting. At the age of 10, Jackson decided to take the advice of his teacher and asked to attend an open audition in San Diego. That audition led to a showcase in Los Angeles, and ultimately to signing with his manager and agent. Within a few months, Jackson landed a recurring role on the hit Showtime series Shameless (2011). He has also appeared on Killer Kids (2011) and Henry Danger (2014). His most recent role is on a new Nickelodeon television series. When not pursuing his acting career, Jackson enjoys playing baseball, surfing, skateboarding, and hanging out with friends, and his dog, Mylie. Show less «
