Although Jackson's early screen work has been stated to have included a role in
That Peter Kay Thing, he has clarified in interviews that this was an error on
IMDb, and that he has no knowledge of how it came to be credited to him; the error has since been removed from his profile. Jackson confirmed his earliest television role was a two-episode arc in
ITV's The Royal Today. Since 2017, he has had a starring role in the
Fox/
Hulu series
The Orville as artificial lifeform
Isaac. Beyond this, Jackson has worked in the theatre, starring in the
Royal National Theatre's productions of
War Horse and
One Man, Two Guvnors, the latter of which he followed on their international tour. ==Personal life==
